4 senior ministers may have to quit soon over graft: BSY

December 13, 2016

Shivamogga, Dec 13: State BJP president B S Yeddyurappa said on Monday that three to four senior ministers might have to resign over the next 15 days for their involvement in the steel bridge, Yettinahole project and money laundering scams, totally worth Rs around 5,000 crore.

Speaking to journalists at the party office here, he said S C Jayachandra, chief project officer of State Highways Project, now in the custody of Enforcement Directorate, had revealed that he had given crores of rupees to a senior minister, who is a close aide of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Public Works Minister H C Mahadevappa is preparing to seek anticipatory bail on December 13, the former chief minister said.

“It is the duty of the chief minister to inform people about the money received by the minister. But, Siddaramaiah is trying to shield the corrupt ministers,” he said.

Referring to the steel flyover project in Bengaluru, Yeddyurappa said that the L&T company contractor had admitted during investigation that he had given a kickback of Rs 500 crore to a close aide of the chief minister.

“Who is the minster? Siddaramaiah should clarify this,” Yeddyurappa said.

He said the government had released Rs 14,000 crore for the implementation of the controversial Yettinahole project. “Even before the commencement of the work, pipes have been purchased in a haste.

“The contractor concerned has admitted that he had given a huge sum of money to a
senior minister. The chief minister may also have received his share in the kickback. If Siddaramaiah is honest, he should reveal the names of the corrupt ministers,” he said.

Asked about BJP leader

K S Eshwarappa's participation in the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade convention, he said the party's central leaders would take action against him.

This shameless preacher is now wants to be very clean & honest.
According to Yeddi, HC Jayachandra has given money to a minister.
Then let Yeddi ask Jayachandra who is that minister who took bribe

It means Yeddi knows better than the government, let Yeddi reveal the names of all corrupt ministers.
Yeddi even does not know how to lie.

Major facelift for Mangaluru's sporting heart: Mangala Stadium set for 2-month closure to upgrade synthetic track

News Network

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
