Chikamagaluru, Jan 16: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today strongly attacked Opposition leader in the Legislative Assembly B S Yeddyurappa, who is also the BJP State President, saying that though he is 76 year old he has not learnt lesson in Politics and indulging in pulling down constitutionally formed Congress-JDS Coalition Government in the State.

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Mr Siddaramaiah, who is also the Coalition Government Coordination Committee Chairman, said that "it is shame on the part of the BJP and its leader Yeddyurappa who is trying to capture power from the backdoor by offering money and power to Legislators though they are not willing to switch over. 

Yeddyurappa's mean mentality is reducing the values of Democracy not only in the State but in the entire country and people have to decide future of that party in the Lok Sabha election which is due in March-April."

Referring to BJP Legislators taken to Delhi and now lodged in a Hotel in Haryana, Mr Siddaramaiah said that "the BJP's move shows how much confidence the Senior leaders of that party have on their own MLAs who should have been in their respective constituencies and serve the people who got them elected."

Mr Siddaramaiah said that "people have given them mandate to sit in the Opposition bench, but BJP is trying to destabilise the duly constituted government by luring the Legislators. I have been telling repeatedly that Mr Yeddyurappa's wishes will not be fulfilled and his dream of becoming Chief Minister will not fulfill whatever the efforts he makes."

Former Union Minister and senior Congress leader C M Ibrahim, in his reaction to BJP's alleged moves, told newsmen that "it is shameful on BJP to keep its own Legislators in captive. I can understand taking 10 or 15 Legislators to a resort but they have taken all the 104 MLAs. Is it not shame on the party which was claiming itself as a clean and transparent."

"I repeat my words even now, Mr Yeddyurappa should go for normal delivery and not for Operation. He is trying to kidnap a married woman to get married after getting her diverse which is not possible even in dream," he added.

Mr Ibrahim said that "as a opposition leader and being a seasoned politician Mr Yeddyurappa should have allowed six month old Kumaraswamy government to function smoothly and criticise whenever he gets opportunity comes instead of trying to kidnap Legislators to pull down the Government and become Chief Minister."

Bengaluru, Mar 19: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said that the Congress will split in three months after the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and its impact will be visible on the Siddaramaiah-led state government.

"Due to internal squabbles, the state government will not last long," the BJP leader said.

Talking to reporters on Monday, he said the sitting MP from the Gadag-Haveri constituency, Shivakumar Udasi, has done a lot of development work and implemented the Central government's schemes effectively.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi will surely become the PM for the third time. The overall response has been good in the Gadag-Haveri Lok Sabha constituency," the former Karnataka chief minister said.

Asked if he was contesting the election in a half-hearted manner in the Gadag-Haveri seat, Bommai said "such a question does not arise when the party's high command gives instructions".

He said he would respect his opponent and not take anyone lightly.

Between May 22 of last year and March 19, he handed over Rs 2.2 lakh in various phases, citing different reasons.

Bengaluru: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday launched simultaneous raids in multiple places, including Bengaluru and Shivamogga.

Reports suggested that the ongoing raids are in connection with the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast in Bengaluru’s Rameshwaram Cafe on March 1. The blast had injured at least ten people as per the police report.

The Central Crime Branch (CCB) had launched an investigation alongside the NIA, and the trail of the suspect led them to Tumakuru first and subsequently to Ballari. Investigators believe that the bomb was planted by Mussavir Hussain Shazib, a handler of the Islamic State’s Shivamogga module who was aided by another IS handler called Ahmed Taahaa.

Sources in the know said that Shazib and Taahaa had stayed in Chennai for about a month between January and February using fake credentials. The names of the suspects were identified after they traced the cap worn by Shazib to a shop in a mall in Chennai. The cap, which was abandoned by the bomber in Bengaluru after the blast, was reportedly bought by Taahaa, around January-end.

As per the NIA, Shazib hails from Masjid Road in Thirthahalli, Shivamogga district, and Taahaa from Fish Market Road, Soppu Gude, Thirthahalli Rural. Both "wanted" suspects have been termed "absconders" by the NIA.

The NIA has questioned seven jailed terror suspects so far in connection with the blast. The investigation agency had also obtained seven-day custody of a jailed terror suspect named Maaz Muneer Ahmed.
