CM, BSY fling corruption charges against each other

Bengaluru, Feb 21: Warming up for the 2018 Assembly elections, BJP leader B S Yeddyurappa and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah traded corruption charges.

Yeddyurappa on Monday said he will quit politics if he fails to send Siddaramaiah and his family members to jail for corruption after coming to power, while Siddaramaiah hit back terming him the most corruption politician.

Addressing BJP workers at a protest dharna against corruption in the state government, the BJP leader said he will order an enquiry into corruption charges within 48 hours after becoming the chief minister.

Yeddyurappa had recently charged Siddaramaiah with having paid Rs 1,000 crore to the Congress high command. He had also accused the chief minister of taking a Rs 150-crore kickback for sanctioning the steel flyover project in Bengaluru.

Siddaramaiah said Yeddyurappa is facing 20 cases. It is ironical that the person who went to jail is speaking against corruption. Charges made by the BJP leader are baseless. In reality, a CD released by the Congress recently has exposed the BJP leaders, he added.

He said the state Congress will also protest against corrupt BJP leaders. The state Congress will chalk out a plan in this regard, he added.

Dear Chediyurappa,

We all Kannadigas well understood about you and your capacity, intention, ability and what you earned and lost and what you set up in DUBAI during your previous chief minister tenure. Now don't split to sky.

For power and money you never spared any one or your life ------- or even bjp. People never expect any thing from such mind set.

For Siddaramayya, so far nothing went wrong or he did . If any wrong administration then public will give right answer.
Suggesting Not To Fool the public any more - because you don't have faith on God.

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Air India Express has announced that it will resume direct flight services between Mangaluru and Muscat from March 2026, restoring an important international air link for passengers from the coastal region.

Airport authorities said the service will operate twice a week—on Sundays and Tuesdays—from March 1. The initial flights are scheduled on March 3, 8 and 10, followed by March 15 and 17, with the same operating pattern to continue thereafter. The flight duration is approximately three hours and 25 minutes.

The Mangaluru–Muscat route was earlier operated under the 2025 summer schedule, with services beginning on July 14. At that time, Air India Express had operated four flights a week before suspending the service.

Officials said the summer schedule will come into effect from March 29, after which changes in flight timings and departure schedules from Mangaluru are expected. Passengers have been advised to check the latest schedules while planning their travel.

The resumption of direct flights to Muscat is expected to significantly benefit expatriates, business travellers and others, further strengthening Mangaluru’s air connectivity with the Gulf region.
