Congress MLAs will not fall prey to BJP's attempts to destabilise govt, says CM Siddaramaiah
Mudigere, Nov 8: Asserting that BJP's alleged attempts to destabilise his government will fail, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday claimed that Congress MLAs were "strong" and will never fall prey to any attempts of "Operation Kamala".
"Operation Kamala" (Operation Lotus), coined by opposition parties, refers to an alleged attempt of the BJP to engineer defection of opposition legislators to install its own government and ensure its stability.
"Let anyone contact, our MLAs are strong, BJP's attempts will fail," Siddaramaiah said in response to a question on reports that those behind "Operation Kamala" earlier, are contacting Congress legislators.
Last week too, Siddaramaiah had accused the BJP of attempting 'Operation Kamala' with an aim to destabilise his government. He had asserted that the opposition party's alleged efforts will not succeed, as "none of the Congress legislators will succumb to it".
State Congress chief and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar too has been making similar claims.

Patna-bound IndiGo flight makes emergency landing at Lucknow due to bad weather
Lucknow (PTI): Adverse weather forced an IndiGo Kolkata-Patna flight to make an emergency landing at Lucknow airport on Friday, airport sources said.
According to airport officials, weather conditions in Patna deteriorated suddenly on Friday afternoon, affecting flight operations.
IndiGo flight 6E 6917 from Kolkata, which was scheduled to land in Patna at 3.50 pm, could not land due to bad weather and kept circling in the air after failing to get clearance from air traffic control, they said.
The flight was later diverted to Lucknow and landed safely at the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport at around 5.15 pm. There were 180 passengers and six crew members on board, officials said.
The aircraft was later allowed to depart for Patna after weather conditions improved.
