S M Krishna will join BJP for sure, claims Yeddyurappa

February 4, 2017

Bengaluru, Feb 4: Karnataka BJP president BS Yeddyurappa on Saturday claimed that SM Krishna, who recently resigned from the Congress, will join his party soon.

"SM Krishna has decided to join BJP. We don't know when for certain, we'll fix that soon. But he is joining 100 per cent," Yeddyurappa told ANI.

Ever since Krishna resigned as the external affairs minister in 2012, he has remained a forlorn figure in the Congress. The party did not give him any big responsibility during the 2013 Assembly election too.

Krishna, who began his political career in 1962, has been an MLA, MLC, member of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, served as Union minister, Speaker, deputy chief minister, president of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee,?chief minister and governor.

he is 80+ still not satisfied he had held so many top posts given by congress and yet he is not satisfied with congress i wonder if the BJP can satisfy his needs , if so then yeddyurappas dream of next CM would be shattered.

Let him join any political party, in Congress he has no much supporters ....He is a trouble maker in Congress

If the person is not capable to maintain his self respect and position in society,then it is shame for them. Even citizen never respond or support.

Definitely thrown to dust bin.

Applies to both.

Mangaluru’s ₹1,200 crore fix: Massive sewage overhaul to end city’s drainage woes

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

• Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

• STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

• Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.
