Prakash Rai hints at forming a Political alternative
Mangaluru : People have seen Congress, JDS, BJP or CPIM during the last 70 years and they are disillusioned with them and feel that none of the mainstream parties are true to people. People know what truth is, what Dharma is, right or wrong. They are looking for a new young leader. I am in touch with likeminded people to complement the efforts for a new political alternative, Prakash Rai said in a news conference
Instead of parties with ‘ High command culture, regional leaders should emerge. The leaders should articulate the aspirations of the local people. Several people have joined hands with me in this endeavor. In the next few months I will hold discussions with like-minded people towards this and initiate a new peoples movement, he said.
'BJP people are frustrated by my straight and sharp questioning. They may even throw dung on me, intelligence reports have cautioned me in this regard. I am least bothered about these tactics. Anyway,they throw what is in their head..!’ He sarcastically said.

No BJP-JDS MLAs will join Congress, says MLC N. Ravikumar
Bengaluru: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Legislative Council member N. Ravikumar has dismissed speculation that BJP and Janata Dal (Secular) MLAs would switch to the Congress, calling it a baseless claim aimed at diverting attention from the ruling party's internal issues.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha on Tuesday, Ravikumar said, "Congress is spreading these rumors to cover up its misgovernance. They are daydreaming that BJP-JDS MLAs will join them. Instead of making such claims, Congress leaders should focus on ensuring stability within their own ranks."

Taking a dig at the ruling party, he pointed out alleged infighting between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. "The Congress should first resolve its internal power struggle for the CM’s chair and address the concerns of its own MLAs. Many of their legislators are unhappy with this government due to lack of funds for development projects. Let them focus on their issues before thinking about our MLAs," he remarked.
Ravikumar reiterated that the Congress was falsely claiming defections to cover up its internal conflicts. "There are no defections from BJP or JD(S). If any issues arise, our senior leaders will address them. No one is leaving the party," he asserted.
