BJP has failed as opposition party: H Vishwanath
Bengaluru, September 18: JDS state president H Vishwanath said that the BJP which has failed completely as a strong opposition party, has been conspiring to topple the government forgetting their positions.
Speaking to reporters at the party office here on Tuesday, he said that opposition parties would play a great role in the development of any state. But the BJP leaders were interested in destabilizing the coalition government and not interested towards public issues. They were not speaking a single word on reconstructing Kodagu which was destroyed in the natural disaster. The government has to retain and protect Kodagu which is one among the best tourist spots in the state. So, the BJP leaders should keep their selfish politics aside and put pressure on the central government for special package to reconstruct Kodagu, he advised.
BJP is responsible
BJP leaders were completely responsible for the present political crisis in the state. They have involved in luring the MLAs of the ruling coalition partners in order to topple the government. Their move was detrimental to the democratic system, he said.
Regional party is best for state
Chief Minister H.D Kumaraswamy has reduced Rs 2 in petrol and diesel prices. But the BJP which has been ruling other states was tight-lipped on reducing petroleum products prices. For the overall development of the state, regional parties were the best choice instead of national parties, he opined.
The people of the country have been demanding against increasing the prices of petroleum products. But the central government has been increasing the prices every day. With the hike of the prices of petroleum products, the central government has earned over Rs 2 lakh crore profit. But the central government has been crying foul, he said.
Former MLC Ramesh Babu was present at the press conference.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
