Bengaluru, May 25: “One man’s food is another man’s poison. You may be villain for them. But you are a hero for some. But you cannot be a hero for all”. This is how Speaker Ramesh Kumar said about former minister DK Shivakumar. His remark has busted laughter in the Session.

While speaking on the proposal of floor test by HD Kumaraswamy-led JDS-Congress coalition government at the Assembly Session on Friday, Opposition Leader BS Yeddyurappa ridiculed former minister DK Shivakumar for his role in the formation of JDS-Congress coalition government.

“Mr Shivakumar, you will regret for your work. You have done a crime to protect the MLAs and thus, you have supported a person who has lost the faith of people and cheated, to become the chief minister of the state. I would not say anything today. Time will reveal everything. You are also sitting in the sinking boat”, he chided Shivakumar.  

Intervening Yeddyurappa’s speech, Shivakumar said that “We both have a good relationship. I may have love and affection on Yeddyurappa. But I am not ready to become a ‘villain’. I have done my work as per the direction of the Congress party and my party national president Rahul Gandhi. So, the word ‘villain’ used by Yeddyurappa should be withdrawn”, he demanded.

Continuing his tirade against Shivakumar, YEddyurappa said that “I’ll not call Shivakumar who is dreaming of becoming chief minister, as a villain. If you are in the coalition government, you will become the chief minister. Both father and son duo would wipe out your Congress party as a national party in a few months”, he said.

Responding to this, Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar said that “one man’s food is another man’s poison. You might be villain form them, but you are a hero for somebody.  But you could not become a hero for everyone”, he drag the feet of Shivakumar.

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).
