Amit Shah assured Shettar to give him greater responsibilites at national level: CM Bommai
Hubballi: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday said dropping the name of Jagadish Shettar from the candidate list was a call taken by the party’s high command. He also added that his name was recommended by state and district-level committees.
Speaking to media reporters in Hubballi, Bommai said he was hurt and pained by Shettar’s decision to quit BJP.
“It is a time of generational change and transition and that is why Shettar missed out on the ticket. His decision might hurt the party’s prospects in a limited way, but we will take all measures required for damage control,” Bommai said.
“The party under the leadership of PM Modi is trying to bring change in the established politics. JP Nadda and Amit Shah also assured Shettar that he will be given greater responsibilities at the national level. He shouldn’t have quit the party,” he further added.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
