BJP MP BY Raghavendra criticizes Karnataka government's Yuva Nidhi Guarantee Scheme
Shivamogga: BJP Member of Parliament (MP) BY Raghavendra has accused the Karnataka state government of implementing projects that he believes will adversely affect the future prospects of the state's youth. Raghavendra specifically commented on the Yuva Nidhi guarantee scheme, launched by the Congress government in the city on Friday.
During a press meet in Shivamogga, the MP alleged that the Yuva Nidhi scheme was introduced in the lead-up to the Lok Sabha elections. He expressed suspicion that the unemployed youth in Karnataka might only benefit from the scheme after the polls.
Raghavendra highlighted the rising unemployment rate and the plight of farmers facing drought in Karnataka. He criticized the state government for not adequately addressing these issues.
While praising Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's decision to rename Freedom Park in the city after 12th-century Kannada poet-seer Allama Prabhu, Raghavendra welcomed the move. However, he criticized the CM for wrongly attributing the development of Freedom Park to his efforts. According to Raghavendra, the park was established under the BJP government led by former CM BS Yediyurappa.

Five to six opposition MLAs might cross over to Mahayuti in few months: NCP chief whip Anil Patil
Mumbai, Nov 24: There is unrest in the Maha Vikas Aghadi camp and its five to six MLAs might join the ruling Mahayuti in the next few months, claimed NCP chief whip Anil Patil, who has retained his Amalner assembly seat, on Sunday.
The MVA of Congress, NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) suffered a crushing blow in the Maharashtra assembly polls, winning only 46 of the state's 288 seats. By contrast, the BJP-led ruling coalition, which also has NCP and Shiv Sena as partners, bagged an impressive 230 seats.
“There is tremendous unrest among some NCP (SP), Congress and Sena (UBT) MLAs who have been re-elected. Those having good relations with us have expressed concerns over MVA’s massive defeat,” Patil told Marathi news channel ABP Majha.
If one wants development works in his constituency, it is good to be in power, said the legislator from Ajit Pawar’s party.
“The MVA MLAs feel their future is uncertain. It shouldn’t be a surprise if five to six MLAs cross over to the Mahayuti in the next four months,” he said.
In the results of the Maharashtra polls declared on Saturday, BJP won in 132 constituencies, while its partners Shiv Sena and NCP walked away with 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
From the MVA camp, Shiv Sena (UBT) bagged 20 seats followed by Congress’ 16 and 10 by NCP (SP).
