BSY invites dissidents of Cong, JDS to BJP
Bengaluru, June 10: By saying that the doors of the BJP are open to the dissident Congress and JDS MLAs if they are willing to join the party, BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa once again started to lure the disgruntled MLAs of the coalition government.
Amidst the protests from the supporters of the MLAs who were denied the ministerial berths in the JDS-Congress coalition government, both the parties have to face another problem of keeping their MLAs intact as the Opposition is trying to take the advantage of the present situation.
Former minister and MLA MB Patil has met the party high command, but returned empty handed. It is said that the party high command has promised him of considering his name during the expansion of the cabinet and even directed other MLAs to wait for the right time.
Even in the JDS camp also, the dissident activities erupted. Both Higher Education Minister GT Deve Gowda and Minor Irrigation Minister CS Puttaraju expressed their anger publicly. Both of them have eyed on transportation portfolio. But this portfolio was given to DC
Thammanna, the relative of party supremo HD Deve Gowda.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
