Eshwarappa threatens to oust father and son from Shikaripura
Shivamogga: In a heated exchange, KS Eshwarappa has launched a verbal attack on BJP state president B. Y. Vijayendra, stating that he will hunt down the father and son in Shikaripura.
Responding to Vijayendra's remarks in Shivamogga, Eshwarappa dismissed them, saying, "I don't value Vijayendra's foolish words. You are not fit to be the state president. I have dedicated forty years of hard work to the party, while you have become the state president due to your father's efforts. You are not qualified to speak in this manner."
Eshwarappa continued, "The people of the district know my contributions. In Shikaripura, the margin has decreased from 60,000 to 10,000. What have you done for the party? You are still inexperienced. Remember, you do not have the capability to criticize me. You are not permitted to speak as you please."
He challenged Vijayendra's disciplinary actions, stating, "Do whatever you want. I am not afraid of such threats. The people are with me.”
Eshwarappa also mentioned receiving positive feedback and expressed confidence in his standing, citing an encouraging encounter with a lawyer at the court.

Integrity of electoral process severely compromised, Cong to soon launch movement: CWC
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress Working Committee met here on Friday and adopted a resolution alleging the integrity of the entire electoral process was being severely compromised against which the party would soon launch a movement.
In the resolution of the top body of the Congress, the party said free and fair elections is a Constitutional mandate that was being called into "serious question by the partisan functioning of the Election Commission".
The CWC, which met amid the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, said the session has been a washout so far because of the Narendra Modi government's "stubborn refusal" to have an immediate discussion on three pressing national issues -- "the recent revelations regarding corruption by a business group, and the violence in Manipur and Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal".
Asked why the Congress Working Committee (CWC) resolution does not name the business group, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, "The answer is the Adani group".
"The CWC believes the integrity of the entire electoral process is being severely compromised. Free and fair elections is a Constitutional mandate that is being called into serious question by the partisan functioning of the Election Commission.
"Increasing sections of society are becoming frustrated and deeply apprehensive. The Congress will take these up these public concerns as a national movement," the resolution stated.
Addressing a joint press conference along with Ramesh and Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, party general secretary, organisation, K C Venugopal said the party discussed the political situation in the country for four-and-half hours and adopted the resolution.
He said the CWC has decided to constitute internal committees to look into electoral performance and organisational matters.
About the Assembly polls results in Maharashtra, Venugopal said the electoral outcome in the state was "beyond normal understanding and it appears to be a clear case of targeted manipulation".
