Senior BJP leader predicts party will not come back to power in Karnataka; Here's why
Chitradurga: Senior BJP legislator G H Thippareddy on Friday asserted that several party legislators in the party were not happy with the working of the state government under CM BS Yediyurappa in the state.
Addressing a press conference in the city on Friday, the legislator said that the BJP high command should deal with the growing dissent within the party against the working of the government under CM Yediyurappa.
“Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa is striving hard at his work, but needs to give Cabinet positions to senior legislators and party leaders if his work should get empowered,” suggested Thippareddy, adding that, if not, the party might not come back to power in the state.
“The government has failed to satisfy the needs of the districts. A backward district like Chitradurga is being constantly neglected by the government. The Upper Bhadra Project is working at a snail's speed. No grants have been reserved in the budget for the district. Also, the same people are being appointed as district in-charge ministers,” he said expressing disappointment.
Expressing dissatisfaction with District In-charge Minister B Sriramulu, Thippareddy said that the minister visits the district and chairs KDP meetings barely twice a year.

Ex-Army officer assaulted, robbed at gunpoint by woman he met through matrimonial website
Mathura(UP), Apr 5 (PTI): A retired Army colonel from Haryana has filed a police complaint here, alleging that he was held hostage, assaulted, looted and forced to participate in an "obscene video" at gunpoint with a woman he met through a matrimonial website, police said on Saturday.
The woman from Mathura, who was allegedly in on the plan to rob him, was working with other accomplices, the ex-armyman said in his complaint filed on Thursday.
According to Barsana Station House Officer (SHO) Raj Kamal Singh, Colonel Rajneesh Soni (retired), a resident of Gurugram, reported that he was contacted by a woman from Barsana on a matrimonial website in January. The woman allegedly agreed to marry him, and they began communicating.
The woman allegedly persuaded the colonel to visit Barsana on January 25, requesting that he visit the Radharani temple. When he arrived, she arranged for his stay at a guest house and took him on a tour of the area, including a visit to the temple, the complainant said.
After returning to the guest house, the woman and her accomplices allegedly told the colonel that her brother had been involved in an accident and they needed to leave immediately. They then led him to a waiting car.
"Once outside the town limits, the colonel alleges that he was attacked by the occupants of the car. They seized his phone, physically assaulted him, and forced him to contact relatives and friends to transfer money," the SHO said.
"He was then taken back to the guest house, where he was allegedly forced to participate in obscene videos and photographs at gunpoint. He was threatened that the videos would be made public if he reported the incident," the officer said.
The colonel has alleged that his purse, bag, gold chain, debit card and Rs. 12,000 in cash were stolen from the guest house.
After an unsuccessful attempt at locating the perpetrators himself, the colonel finally reported the incident to the Barsana police two days ago, he said.
"A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS and all facts are being investigated. Further action will be taken as per facts found in the investigation," the SHO said.
