BJP will not make Lingayat CM anyway, claims Kumaraswamy

May 1, 2023, 5:17 pm

On Monday, former Karnataka CM and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy said that the BJP “will not make” a Chief Minister from the Lingayat community “at any cost” in the state.

Kumaraswamy made these remarks while campaigning for party candidate Hanumanta Mavinamara in Badami town. I have said this before; the BJP will not make a lingayat CM at any cost in the state, Kumaraswamy added.

He further said that instead of real problems facing the people, issues like “snake” and “Vishkanya” are being discussed by the BJP.

These kinds of politics are unnecessary. Would these things make people’s lives better? The prime minister berated everyone and everything when discussing the double engine, including family and ATMs. However, I would like to know why the state’s corruption has not yet been eradicated. “The state has been pillaged by the double-engine government,” Kumaraswamy remarked.

MQM leader appeals to Pakistanis worldwide to think about state discrimination

April 14, 2023, 2:28 pm

Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Altaf Hussain on Thursday appealed to Pakistanis across the world to become the ‘judge’ in his case against the biased nature of the state and the harassment approach of the establishment.

MQM was founded by Altaf Hussain in 1984, and it is considered a secular political party. He raised the question about former PM Nawaz Sharif not visiting his country despite getting a diplomatic passport during his stay in London. Who is obstructing the return of Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, the elder brother of Pakistan’s PM, Shahbaz Sharif?

Altaf Hussain lashed out at one of the sitting judges of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Justice Qazi Faiz Issa, who is known as a daring judge in the country. He claimed that the judge said he derived his courage and strength from God and the Constitution on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the Constitution of Pakistan.

However, the military dictators of the country have made a mess of the constitution.

Justice Mazahir Ali Naqvi imposed an embargo on Altaf Hussain. The embargo was only for six months. “The embargo restricted Pakistan’s mainstream media and newspapers from carrying, broadcasting, or publishing any of my statements, photos, or speeches since September 2015,” he claimed.

“However, the unconstitutional embargo has exceeded the 6-month limit dozens of times, and the embargo has entered the year 2023.”Alas!” he added.

In a question to Justice Issa, Hussain asked, “Do you feel this unlawful embargo is in line with the universal declaration on freedom of expression and personal and collective basic human rights?”

BJP 2nd list out: Will win at least 125 seats out of 189 announced, says Yediyurappa

April 12, 2023, 6:22 pm

BS Yediyurappa, a senior in the Bharatiya Janata Party and a former chief minister of Karnataka, stated on Wednesday that the party has named candidates for 189 seats on Tuesday, of which it will win at least 125 in the state assembly elections. He also stated that the second list would be made public by tonight.

Yediyurappa stated in a media that 52 of the 189 seats declared yesterday are new. Out of the 189 seats that were announced yesterday, we will win at least 125 to 130. We are pleased with the news. We’ll take over Karnataka’s government. The second list of candidates, in my opinion, will be made public by evening. When questioned about KS Eshwarappa’s decision to leave electoral politics, the former chief minister claimed that he had freely written to JP Nadda, the party’s national president, expressing his decision not to run in the elections.

“Eshwarappa voluntarily wrote a letter to the party president saying that he will work for the party and does not want to contest,” he said.

Speaking about Jagadish Shettar, a former Karnataka Chief Minister and six-time BJP MLA whose name was missing from the first list of the list released by the party yesterday, Yediyurappa said that there is a maximum chance of his name appearing in the second list.
“99 percent of Jagadish Shettar (the former Karnataka CM) will be given an election ticket,” he said.

When asked about Congress moving the Election Commission regarding the issues in the voter list, the BJP leader said that the party is doing so because it is aware of its defeat in the polls. “That means they know they are going to lose the elections. They have given such statements previously also,” he said.

BJP leader quits party after not getting ticket in upcoming Karnataka assembly polls

April 12, 2023, 2:51 pm

The Karnataka assembly polls are scheduled to take place on 10 May. But the ruling BJP’s confusion in the state continues after the announcement of the party’s first list of candidates.

Several BJP leaders are not happy after failing to get tickets for the upcoming assembly elections in Karnataka. Among them is the veteran leader Laxman Savadi, who quit the party after his name was dropped as a candidate.

“I’ve made up my mind.” I don’t walk around with a begging bowl. I am a respectable politician. I don’t believe anyone is influencing me,” the upset leader said.

According to sources, he is in discussions with Congress and could change his mind soon and join the grand old party.

However, Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar informed reporters that “he is neither in touch with me nor has he spoken with me.”

Laxman Savadi is close to former CM BS Yediyurappa, and besides this, he is one of the most influential Lingayat leaders in the state, known for his organisational skills.

He lost to the Congress candidate, Mahesh Kumathahalli, in the previous 2018 assembly elections.

Laxman Savadi played a key role in the mass defections from the Congress-Janata Dal Secular government, which helped the saffron party to form the government in Karnataka. He is not free from controversy after being caught watching pornography in the assembly in 2012.

The founder of the Indian Secular Front, Pirzada Md Abbas Siddique, criticised the Trinamool Congress (TMC) administration of West Bengal, claiming that the TMC is attempting to contain the ISF due to its growing power.

“It is really regrettable. Every group is free to carry out its own programmes. That is such a tragic thing that occurred. It represents an effort to kill democracy. Such incidents convey Bengal the wrong message, “In February, Abbas Siddique told to mediapersons.

“ISF strikes the administration with fear. The ISF has a single MP. However, individuals of all linguistic and religious backgrounds are joining the ISF. The TMC officials are now afraid as a result of this “His addition was.
