Bengaluru: Former MP D.K. Suresh has called on BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal to release any documents he claims to possess regarding an alleged political compromise between BJP state president B.Y. Vijayendra and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar.
Speaking to reporters near his residence in Sadashivanagar on Monday, Suresh responded to Yatnal’s recent statement that he would unveil evidence of such a compromise. “If Yatnal has documents, he should release them. It’s not just Vijayendra; Yatnal himself has a good relationship with Shivakumar, and they are close friends. He also discusses mutual benefits with Shivakumar. I don’t understand why he singled out Vijayendra in his statement,” Suresh remarked.

Suresh further criticized the BJP’s approach, questioning whether they were fighting against Yatnal or the Congress. “Our government is focused on development. Opposition parties should prioritize addressing the problems of the people and adopt a constructive stance,” he added.
On the upcoming Swabhimani Samavesh, Suresh revealed it is a Congress party convention planned to be held in three or four locations across the state, with the first scheduled in Hassan. He emphasized the participation of both state and national leaders in the event.
Addressing political statements ahead of the convention, Suresh commented, “Some statements are made for appeasement, but I believe they understand that party interests come first.”

Lucknow (PTI): Adverse weather forced an IndiGo Kolkata-Patna flight to make an emergency landing at Lucknow airport on Friday, airport sources said.
According to airport officials, weather conditions in Patna deteriorated suddenly on Friday afternoon, affecting flight operations.
IndiGo flight 6E 6917 from Kolkata, which was scheduled to land in Patna at 3.50 pm, could not land due to bad weather and kept circling in the air after failing to get clearance from air traffic control, they said.
The flight was later diverted to Lucknow and landed safely at the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport at around 5.15 pm. There were 180 passengers and six crew members on board, officials said.
The aircraft was later allowed to depart for Patna after weather conditions improved.
