Former Karnataka CM Bommai accuses state government of neglecting increasing crime rates
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Senior BJP Leader Basavaraja Bommai on Friday alleged that the cases of crime in the state have surged by 30% in the past nine months, and that the state government was not initiating any stringent measure to crackdown on the increasing rate of crime.
Addressing the media, he further accused the state government of not taking any drought relief measures. “The CM claims that the financial condition of the state is good. On that account, the state government should have released grants for drought relief, construction of school buildings and developmental projects. Three thousand crore rupees were approved for the welfare of the Kalyana Karnataka region, however no grants have been released.”

“Party workers were being used to implement guarantee schemes. However, after coming to power he (Siddaramaiah) forgot the workers. In order to appease the agitated workers, they are giving the posts by violating constitutional norms, and are doing corruption openly,” he added.

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).
