Vokkaliga BJP leaders revolt against MP Pratap Simha?
Mysuru, September 28: Alleging that Lok Sabha Member Pratap Simha has indirectly supported the candidates of other political parties to win the Assembly and City Corporation elections by neglecting honest party workers, some of the Vokkaliga BJP leaders have reportedly revolted against the MP.
Before Lok Sabha election, the differences cropped up in the BJP and some Vokkaliga leaders held a secret meeting against sitting MP Pratap Simha. Interestingly, the leaders have chalked out a strategy against the MP near the MP office and they have discussed whether to change or retain Pratap Simha for the forthcoming LS polls.
Vokkaliga leaders decided to prevail upon the party leadership to give chance to another community leader in the LS poll. Pratap Simha had commented against the Vokkaliga community. But so far, he did not ask apology for his comments and this would have negative impact on the forthcoming Lok Sabha election. In view of this, the leaders have discussed on changing Pratap Simha, sources said.
It is said that the leaders have organized the meeting upsetting over the attitude of the MP. BJP district secretary Raj Kumar, Kumar Gowda of Bajrang Dal, Chamaraja constituency BJP leader Sriram, Jayanth of KR constituency, Arun Kumar Gowda of Chamundeshwari constituency, Ravi, Yoganna, BJP city vice president B. Umesh, Paramesh, Ontikoppal Prem, Nazarbad Charan, Cable Venkatesh, Lokesh Kumar and others have participated in the meeting, sources said.

Trump threatens China with 50% tariffs if it sends arms to Iran
Washington (AP): The US president said his threat to impose 50% tariffs on goods from countries that sold weapons to Iran was aimed at China.
Trump told Fox News' “Sunday Morning Futures” that has heard reports of China giving anti-aircraft “shoulder missiles” to Iran. He played down the possibility of China supplying weapons to Iran, but said their goods would be taxed if they did.
“I doubt they would do that, because I have a relationship, and I think they wouldn't do that, but maybe they did a little bit at the beginning,” Trump said. “But if we catch them doing that, they get a 50% tariff.”
