BJP leaders have made futile attempt to kidnap me: MLA TD Rajegowda
Sringeri, May 28: MLA TD Raje Gowda alleged that because of the BJP’s conspiracy, he had to stay in the resort for ten days despite he has been opposing the resort politics culture.
Raje Gowda who was in a resort in Bengaluru for almost ten days because of the political high drama, has come to his constituency for the first time after his election, on Monday and held a press conference.
As no party has got clear mandate to form the government, the BJP leaders have tried to induce all Congress MLAs and put pressure on them. At one stage, the BJP leaders have made a futile attempt to kidnap him. In order to protect them from poaching and democracy, the party has taken them to the resort. But he was pained because of this reason and such incident would not happen again, he said.
After his defeat in the last election, he has close contact with the voters and travelled the entire constituency extensively and this has ensured his victory. Though party workers and people wanted to celebrate his victory, as of the code of conduct of MLC election is in force, they could not do it. After June 10, he would personally meet the people of Sringeri, Koppa and NR Pura and thank them, he said.
Block Congress president MH Nataraj said that the party was lagging behind since many years. But this time, the situation is improved and the party has maintained lead in 24 booths. The difference of votes between Congress and BJP was also decreased considerably, for which he would thank all voters and party workers, he said.
Party spokesperson Umesh Puduval, Venkatesh of campaign committee, Vidyaranyapura gram panchayat president Rajesh Shetty and others were present.
“During the period of previous MLA, we have staged protests for several times to solve the problems. Now, I would give priority to solve them. Distribution of Akrama-Sakrama title deeds, filling vacant posts of doctors in hospitals, dissolving all inactive committees and forming new ones, college building, road repairs and other works are before me. People of the constituency should cooperate with me now. I will receive all suggestions, criticisms and praises equally”, said TD Raje Gowda.
Visited Sringeri Peetham
Newly elected MLA TD Rajegowda on Monday visited Sri Sharada Peetham and offered pooja to Goddess Sharade. Later, he met the seer and got his blessings. Later, he has been to Sri Adichunchanagiri Shakha Mutt and got blessings from Gunanatha Swamiji.
After his press conference, he participated in the party workers meeting and paid his homage to Jamkhandi MLA Siddu Nyamagouda who was killed in an accident.

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.
