C.P. Yogeshwar made a hasty decision in Channapatna: V. Somanna
Mysuru: Union Minister of State for Railways V. Somanna remarked that C.P. Yogeshwar has taken a hasty decision in Channapatna, and that the people there will sound a warning bell in the upcoming by-elections.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Somanna said, "It seems like Yogeshwar has made an impulsive decision. I am confident that NDA candidates will secure victory in the by-elections for all three constituencies."
Addressing the MUDA issue, Somanna noted that with the involvement of ED officials, the investigation will likely reach a logical conclusion, and all irregularities in MUDA will be cleared.
He also criticised Minister Byrathi Suresh for his remarks, reminding him of his position as a minister. Somanna added that Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje should not be spoken of disrespectfully, asserting that such comments are unbefitting of Suresh’s stature.

In a message, the prime minister said Vajpayee's personality, work and leadership will continue to be a guiding light for the all-around development of the nation. He said Vajpayee dedicated his entire life to good governance and nation-building.
"He will always be remembered as a brilliant orator as well as a spirited poet. Vajpayee's personality, work and leadership will continue to be a guiding light for the all-around development of the nation," PM Modi said.
Vajpayee was born on this day in Gwalior in 1924 and passed away in New Delhi on August 16, 2018. The government observes his birth anniversary as Good Governance Day.
The BJP marked the day by its leaders commemorating Vajpayee's legacy in nationwide events. Its chief ministers, Union ministers and MPs, besides organisational leaders, are part of these programmes held across the country.
Vajpayee, India's 13th prime minister, served the country for three terms between 1996 and 2004.
He is known for his valuable contribution to India's economic growth. The 'Operation Vijay', commonly known as the Kargil War, was fought against Pakistan and won during his tenure as prime minister. He made India a nuclear weapons power.
He had a distinguished four-decade parliamentary career, was elected nine times to the Lok Sabha and twice to the Rajya Sabha.
Rising from humble beginnings in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) to the post of prime minister, he received the Padma Vibhushan in 1992 for his selfless dedication to the nation and was conferred with Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, in 2015.
Vajpayee championed democratic ideals, women's empowerment, and social equality.
As prime minister, he prioritised good governance and economic development, building national highways, rural roads, expanding telecom, and improving infrastructure.
