B S Yediyurappa bags first-ever 'Best MLA Award', instituted by Karnataka Assembly
Bengaluru, Sep 24: The Karnataka Assembly on Friday conferred its first-ever 'Best MLA Award' on former Chief Minister and ruling BJP MLA B S Yediyurappa recognising his long stint in electoral politics and best performance as member of the House.
Karnataka speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri said the award was instituted on the suggestions of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla who had said that all the legislative assemblies and councils should honour their best members.
On Birla's suggestion, a committee has been constituted under the Assembly Speaker's chairmanship which comprises Chief Minister, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister and members from the opposition parties.
He added that this award, which will be given annually, is only for the members of the House and not Ministers.
Yediyurappa, who had served the state as chief minister four times, stepped down on July 26 this year.
He got elected to the Karnataka assembly in 1983 for the first time. He also was a member of the legislative council and Lok Sabha MP.

Melania Trump joins her husband in backing a meme coin
Washington (AP): Melania Trump is out with her own cryptocurrency token, days after her husband and US President-elect Donald Trump launched a meme coin of his own.
The incoming first lady launched the meme coin with posts on her social media accounts on Sunday while her husband's rally was underway in Washington.
Trump's coin soared in value after it was announced late Friday, potentially boosting his net worth as he prepares to take office.
Some crypto enthusiasts hailed the Trump meme coin's release, saying it's symbolic of the incoming president's support for an industry that felt unfairly targeted by the Joe Biden administration.
Trump has promised to usher in crypto-friendly regulations and picked crypto cheerleaders for key government positions.
Critics said the Trump meme coin could be a dangerous way for special interests and foreign governments to try and buy influence with the president.
