BSY insults democracy: DKS
Walks out of the Session before floor test
Bengaluru, May 25: Former minister DK Shivakumar said that Opposition Leader and BJP State president BS Yeddyurappa has insulted the democracy by walking out of the Assembly Session before the floor test.
Speaking to reporters after the floor test by Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy at the Vidhana Soudha in the city on Friday, Shivakumar said that Yeddyurappa is blackmailing the JDS-Congress coalition government saying that he would call for Karnataka bandh if the farmers loans were not waived off. Farmers should not support the Karnataka bandh. The government has proved its majority. Now, the JDS-Congress coalition government has started officially. Leaders of both the parties would discuss on waiver off farmers loans and take a decision, he added.
Yeddyurappa might have thought that Shivakumar had become an obstacle for Operation Lotus of BJP. But because of the unity of the party, JDS-Congress government has formed in the state. Party high command would decide on the cabinet expansion, he said.

Five to six opposition MLAs might cross over to Mahayuti in few months: NCP chief whip Anil Patil
Mumbai, Nov 24: There is unrest in the Maha Vikas Aghadi camp and its five to six MLAs might join the ruling Mahayuti in the next few months, claimed NCP chief whip Anil Patil, who has retained his Amalner assembly seat, on Sunday.
The MVA of Congress, NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) suffered a crushing blow in the Maharashtra assembly polls, winning only 46 of the state's 288 seats. By contrast, the BJP-led ruling coalition, which also has NCP and Shiv Sena as partners, bagged an impressive 230 seats.
“There is tremendous unrest among some NCP (SP), Congress and Sena (UBT) MLAs who have been re-elected. Those having good relations with us have expressed concerns over MVA’s massive defeat,” Patil told Marathi news channel ABP Majha.
If one wants development works in his constituency, it is good to be in power, said the legislator from Ajit Pawar’s party.
“The MVA MLAs feel their future is uncertain. It shouldn’t be a surprise if five to six MLAs cross over to the Mahayuti in the next four months,” he said.
In the results of the Maharashtra polls declared on Saturday, BJP won in 132 constituencies, while its partners Shiv Sena and NCP walked away with 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
From the MVA camp, Shiv Sena (UBT) bagged 20 seats followed by Congress’ 16 and 10 by NCP (SP).
