Sullia BJP leader murder: BJP MLA Renukacharya threatens to resign if govt fails in taking action
Says will not continue to be part of BJP govt if it can't protect Hindu activists
Bengaluru: BJP MLA and Political Secretary to the Chief Minister of Karnataka, M P Renukacharya on Wednesday said he would resign from the post of MLA if the government does not take strict action against the miscreants responsible for the killing of Hindu activists.
His remarks came a day after the BJP Yuva Morcha leader was brutally murdered in Dakshina Kananda’s Sullia Taluk on Tuesday night.
The MLA took to his Twitter handle and asserted that the attacks on Hindu activists were rising in the state and that it was the duty of his party to protect the Hindu workers. He also questioned the use of being in power if they were unable to protect Hindu workers.
“Only if our government can take strict actions against miscreants like Yogi Adityanath model, only then the government and our organisation can survive.” He wrote in a series of tweets.
“If we have to maintain the trust of Hindu activists, we have to encounter the miscreants in the middle of the road. Posting emotional messages and tributes on social media will not help.” He added.
“To keep the promise reposed on us by the Hindu community, I repeat that I will continue in this government only if strict action is taken against the miscreants, otherwise I will resign.” He further added.
Earlier in the day he also announced Rs. 1 lakh to the family of Praveen adding that although no amount of money can bring the activist back to life, it was their duty to stand by his family and condemn his death.

First direct US-Venezuela commercial flight in 7 years to land in Caracas
Caracas (Venezuela) (AP): The first direct commercial flight between the United States and Venezuela is scheduled to land on Thursday in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, seven years after the US Department of Homeland Security ordered an indefinite suspension, citing security concerns.
The resumption of a commercial flight between the two countries comes in the wake of the US capture of Nicolás Maduro in a stunning nighttime raid on his residence in Caracas, Venezuela's capital, in early January.
It also comes a month after the US formally reopened its embassy in Caracas following the restoration of full diplomatic relations with the South American country.
Flight AA3599 operated by Envoy Air, a subsidiary of American Airlines, was scheduled to depart from Miami at 10:16 a.m. local time and arrive three hours later in the Venezuelan capital, returning to Florida later in the afternoon.
Earlier, the airline said a second daily flight between Miami and Caracas will start on May 21.
In late January, US President Donald Trump said he informed Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez that he would open up all commercial airspace over Venezuela, allowing Americans to visit.
“American citizens will be very shortly able to go to Venezuela, and they'll be safe there,” Trump said at the time.
The flights mark the resumption of nonstop travel between the US and Venezuela for the first time since diplomatic ties were severed in 2019. For the past seven years, passengers have relied on international airlines and indirect routes through neighbouring Latin American countries.
In January, when the airline announced the resumption of flights it said it would give customers the opportunity to reunite with families and pursue new business opportunities.
American Airlines was the last US airline flying to Venezuela. It suspended flights in 2019 between Miami and Caracas, as well as flights to the oil hub city of Maracaibo. Delta and United Airlines pulled out in 2017 amid a political crisis that forced millions to flee the country.
