Will reopen cases in which Congress leaders got clean chit: Yeddyurappa

Bengaluru, Dec 11: BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa said that his party would reopen all cases wherein "clean chit" has been given to Congress leaders by the Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) and other investigating agencies.

Speaking at a well-attended Nava Karnataka Nirmana Parivarthana Yatra at JP Nagar in Bengaluru, Yeddyurappa said the government was misusing the ACB and the CID to give clean chits to Congress leaders, including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, and at the same time registering false cases against leaders of rival parties.

"As soon as the BJP comes to power, we will order review of all cases where clean chits have been given and order reinvestigation. We will send the Congress leaders to where they belong," Yeddyurappa said.

He said while Congress claimed BJP was a jail and bail party, its own leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Oscar Fernandes were moving around after securing bail.

He said the children of Congress leaders were activately involved in the sand mafia.

"Sand is being imported from Malaysia on the pretext on meeting the demand, by paying exorbitant rates," he said.

He blamed the Siddaramaiah government for turning Bengaluru into a "nightmare city" . "Bengaluru has become the number-one rape city in the country. Mumbai has double the population of Bengaluru, but has a lower crime rate. We will change all that after coming to power. We will create a Nava Bengaluru," the BJP leader said.

He charged that the government had plunged the state into a debt trap with borrowings touching Rs 1.48 lakh crore during the last four years. "The government is hoodwinking the people by announcing projects worth hundreds of crores. But where is the money?" he said.

Lesson learnt

The BJP, meanwhile, seems to have learnt a lesson from the embarrassment it faced last month in the state capital during the launch of the yatra due to poor turnout. On Sunday, the party had made sure the venue was a full house. There was shelter for everyone as 'shamiyana' had been erected.

Traffic hit

Traffic movement was affected in and around RBI Layout grounds in JP Nagar, the venue of the convention. Transport arrangements had been made from Bommannahalli, Anekal among other areas to ferry those attending the convention.

At least seven people have been killed when Israeli warplanes bombed an emergency center in southern Lebanon near the border with the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories with air-to-surface missiles, according to Lebanese security sources.

Two sources, speaking on condition of anonymity said early on Wednesday that the strike targeted the Islamic Group’s emergency and relief center in Lebanon’s southern village of Habbariyeh.

Jamaa Islamiya, a Lebanese group closely linked to the Gaza-based Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, said in a statement that “a number” of people had been killed, and called the strike a “heinous crime.”

An official from the group said “seven rescuers” were killed in the aerial assault.

Another Jamaa Islamiya official, also requesting anonymity, said a dozen medical staff were in the emergency center at the time of the strike, adding that bodies were being pulled from the rubble.

Lebanese lawmaker Hassan Mrad said “the Israeli aggression on Habbariyeh adds to the long list of Israeli crimes.”

Israel has been launching air strikes against Lebanon since the beginning of its onslaught against the Gaza Strip in early October.

An Israeli strike knocked down part of a building in the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh on February 14, killing seven members of the same family, including a child, Lebanon’s official National News Agency said. A boy initially reported missing was found alive under the rubble.

In a separate Israeli attack, a woman and her two children were killed in the village of as-Sawana in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli regime launched its devastating hostilities in the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the territory’s Hamas-led Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.

Israel's raids have resulted in retaliatory strikes from Hezbollah in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

The movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory operations as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its onslaught on Gaza.

The Israeli campaign in Gaza has killed at least 32,414 people, most of them women and children. Another 74,787 individuals have also been wounded.

Mangaluru, Mar 28: A fish meal factory in the Baikampady Industrial area in Mangaluru was gutted in a fire incident on Thursday, officials said.

The factory is owned by the company 'Shihar Enterprises', they said.

According to the locals, the fire was first noticed at 4.45 am today, which was immediately reported to the fire department.

The fire engines reached the spot and tried to douse the fire, but it had already spread to other parts of the factory. After almost four hours of fire-fighting operation, the blaze was completely doused, officials.

The reason for the blaze is still being probed, the fire department officials said, adding that they suspect an electric short circuit could have triggered it.
