Yeddyurappa takes jibe at Congress, says party is orphan without prime ministerial candidate
Bagalkote, Oct 24: Taking a jibe at Congress leaders, BJP state President B.S Yeddyurappa said, "as former Minister P. Chidambaram has said that AICC President Rahul Gandhi is not the PM candidate, you all are becoming orphans without a prime ministerial candidate."
Speaking to reporters while canvassing for BJP candidate Shrikant Kulkarni at Hunnur village in Jamkhandi on Wednesday, he said, "The Congress-JDS alliance government is sowing communal seeds through money, woman and muscle power. He appealed to vote the BJP to teach a lesson to the alliance government in the by-elections."
"CM Kumaraswamy is making baseless comments that PM Modi has become a barrier in waiving off loans of nationalized banks. What are the contributions of HDK to Bagalkote district," BSY questioned?
The Bhagyalaxmi beneficiaries have not got the bonds yet. Loans of Nekars have not been waived off. I had promised to waive off loans within a week. But I had to leave the power in three days, he expressed displeasure.

Low visibility prevents PM’s helicopter from landing in Taherpur, Modi returns to Kolkata airport
Kolkata (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s helicopter failed to land at the Taherpur helipad in West Bengal owing to low visibility on account of dense fog in the area on Saturday, an official said.
The PM’s chopper made a U-turn after hovering over the helipad ground for a while and returned to the Kolkata airport, he said.
Till reports last received, the Prime Minister was waiting at the airport for further updates on the weather situation.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Modi would reach the rally venue district by road or whether he would wait for the weather to clear up and make another attempt to reach Taherpur by the aerial route, the official said.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister reached Kolkata at around 10.40 am and took a chopper onward to Taherpur in Nadia district, where he is scheduled to hold an administrative programme to launch highway projects in West Bengal, followed by a political rally of the BJP, titled Parivartan Sankalpa Sabha, which he is supposed to address.
