Bengaluru, Apr 28: Former chief minister and BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa is sure that mining baron B Janardhan Reddy will help the party win 10 to 15 additional seats in Ballari and surrounding areas.

Replying to the queries of media persons in Hassan, Yeddyurappa said BJP president Amit Shah had advised party leaders to seek help of anyone, including their opponents, if it is beneficial to the party.

Yeddyurappa claimed that Reddy had never sought the BJP ticket for himself to contest the Assembly elections.

He said the BJP candidate B Sriramulu, who belongs to the Valmiki community, will emerge victorious against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in Badami.

Yeddyurappa said Siddaramaiah is a shameless person and will be the last chief minister of the Congress party in Karnataka. “Siddaramaiah is a synonym of corruption. He is contesting from Badami, out of fear of losing in Chamundeshwari constituency,” he said.

“The BJP has fielded candidates in all the 224 constituencies. We will not enter into an alliance with the JD(S) for any reason. The party will win 150 seats and form the government on its own,” he said.

DK in-charge minister presents CM’s MSP plea to Prime Minister in Mangaluru

November 28,2025

Mangaluru, Nov 28: Karnataka Health Minister and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Friday handed over Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the severe distress faced by farmers due to crashing crop prices.

PM Modi arrived at the Mangaluru International Airport en route to Udupi, where Gundu Rao welcomed him and submitted the letter. The chief minister’s message stressed that farmers are suffering heavy losses because maize and green gram are being bought far below the Minimum Support Price (MSP). The state urged the Centre to immediately begin procurement at MSP.

According to the letter, Karnataka has a bumper harvest this year—over 54.74 lakh metric tons of maize and 1.98 lakh metric tons of green gram—yet farmers are unable to secure fair prices. Against the MSP of ₹2,400/MT for maize and ₹8,768/MT for green gram, market rates have plunged to ₹1,600–₹1,800 and ₹5,400 respectively.

The chief minister has requested the Centre to:

• Direct NAFED, FCI and NCCF to start MSP procurement immediately.
• Ensure ethanol units purchase maize directly from farmers or FPOs.
• Increase Karnataka’s ethanol allocation, citing high production capacity.
• Stop maize imports, which have depressed domestic prices.
• Relax quality norms for green gram, allowing up to 10% discoloration due to rains.

The letter stresses that MSP is crucial for farmer dignity and income stability and calls for swift central intervention to prevent a deepening crisis.
