BSY seeks 'serious' debate on drought in Belagavi session

November 20, 2016

Hubballi, Nov 20: The BJP's state president, B S?Yeddyurappa, has demanded a “serious” discussion on farmers' problems in the winter session of the legislature that begins in Belagavi on Monday.

Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, he said Karnataka was facing a severe drought and asked the Congress government to take steps to waive farm loans given by co-operative banks. He said the BJP-led Union government would come to the rescue of Karnataka but Chief Minister Siddaramaiah “should stop looking to the Centre for everything”.

Yeddyurappa claimed that the administrative machinery in the state had “collapsed” and that the government had gone “bankrupt”. “The chief minister is not responding to the problems of common people,” he suggested. He said he was “confident” that the BJP would form the next government by winning 120 seats of the Legislative Assembly in the 2018 elections.

Reiterating the BJP's stand that the prime minister's intervention was “not enough” to solve the inter-state dispute on the Mahadayi River, he said that the Opposition in Maharashtra and Goa must also be taken onboard.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi and the party's leader in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge have a role to play in Mahadayi talks, Yeddyurappa said. He said the Mahadayi issue would be raised in the Belagavi session.

Yeddyurappa declined to comment on his bitter political rival H D Kumaraswamy's decision to move into a house in Hubballi and stay there for 12 days every month. “Moving into a house is not enough; he should win over the public,” he said.

BJP parliamentarian Shobha Karandlaje said Congress leaders were “worried” about demonetisation and were trying to legalise their black money by using Stree Shakti and other self-help groups.

Dear Yeddyurappa,

A secret deal by the well set up team members.

If a fare and dare leader come to power - then only all DHAN , BHAN chor leaders name will be published in front of INDIANS. other wise BJP finger on Congress leader and Congress will finger on BJP.

Hope dear rest all you will understood.
Nothing to think about Yediyurappa .

Mangaluru, Dec 20: City Police Commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy has issued a high-alert warning to vehicle owners regarding a surge in cyber fraud targeting those looking to pay traffic violation fines. Fraudsters are reportedly exploiting recent government discount schemes on traffic penalties to deceive citizens.

The Scam: How Fraudsters Strike

Criminals are using SMS, WhatsApp, and social media to circulate suspicious links and APK files (Android application packages). They claim these apps allow users to pay e-challans at a discount.

•    Device Hacking: Downloading these unauthorized apps gives hackers full access to the victim's smartphone.

•    Financial Theft: Once the phone is compromised, fraudsters intercept OTPs and personal data to drain bank accounts.

•    Phishing Sites: Fake websites mimicking official portals are also being used to harvest banking credentials.

Already, two residents within Mangaluru city limits have reported significant financial losses after falling victim to these fraudulent apps.
