Vidwath is not a BJP worker; my statement is wrong: Amit Shah
Mangaluru: BJP National President Amit Shah on Tuesday clarified that Vidwath is not a BJP worker.
Earlier in the day, he had referred Vidwath, who was thrashed by Congress MLA NA Harris' son Mohammed Nalapad, as a BJP worker.
Replying to the queries of media persons at Suratkal, Amit Shah admitted that his statement was wrong.
He said "I have been touring Karnataka form some time and I found that people in this state are looking forward to changing this government.
This government is filled with ministers with the background of murders, Mafia, and corruption,"
"Karnataka government is looking forward to bring in Yeddyurappa government," he added.
DV Sadananda Gowda, Shobha Karandlaje, Nalin Kumar Kateel, Yeddyurappa, and others were present.

Indigo flights chaos: SCR to run special trains to clear passenger rush
Hyderabad (PTI): The South Central Railway on Saturday announced that it would run four special trains to manage the surge in passengers resulting from the large-scale cancellation of IndiGo flights here.
The move comes as flyers face significant disruption and long queues at the airport due to the cancellation.
A press release from the SCR said it is running the special trains to clear the extra rush of passengers to Chennai, Mumbai and Shalimar (Kolkata) from Hyderabad today.
Meanwhile, as many as 43 outbound Indigo flights were cancelled from here on Saturday, Rajiv Gandhi International Airport sources said.

Similarly, 26 incoming flights are also likely to be cancelled during the day, they said.
The flight cancellations drew ire from passengers, who thronged the IndiGo counters at the airport demanding to know the exact situation.
“This is utter nonsense! Digiyatra done, message received that departure has been rescheduled ahead of the scheduled departure and now upon arriving at Hyderabad airport coming to know at the security checkpoint that Indigo flight is cancelled,” Tarun Singha, former Ministry of Defence spokesperson said in a post on X.
“But the thing is if you don’t shout they do nothing. Example at Hyderabad Airport, there was no staff no flight information for an hour. Then a fellow passenger started shouting on mic and an Indigo staff appeared finally,” a netizen said in a post.
On Friday, when IndiGo cancelled over 1,000 flights from across airports, its CEO Pieter Elbers apologised in a video message for the major inconvenience caused to passengers due to the disruptions.
In the one-way video communication, Elbers also said that the airline was expecting fewer than 1,000 flights on Saturday.
