Congress leaders challenge BJP to move no confidence motion in assembly
Bengaluru, February 7: “Instead of fighting in the well without water, move No Confidence Motion if you have the confidence”, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Krishna Byre Gowda challenged BJP leaders.
Taking a dig at the BJP leaders amidst their commotion at the Vidhana Soudha here on Thursday, Krishna Byre Gowda said that “If you have guts, move the No Confidence Motion instead of fighting in the well without water”.
Minister E Thukaram said that BJP leaders have been wasting the time of the Session. If they have the courage, let them move the no confidence motion. Then the government would prove its majority, he said.
Without considering his speech, the BJP members created ruckus in the Session shouting slogans against the government and continued their dharna.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
