I am the next CM of state after BSY: BJP leader Umesh Katti
Bengaluru: Senior BJP leader from Karnataka Umesh Katti has once again made to the headlines with another controversial remark. The six-time MLA on Saturday added that he will become the next CM of the state after the end of tenure of BS Yediyurappa who is currently serving as the CM of the state.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday evening Katti mocked a reporter who asked why he was not chosen to be the Dy.CM of the state. Katti said “I am not Deputy CM material. I am going to be the CM of the state after BS Yediyurappa’s term gets over”.
“I am just 58 years old now. I have chance to be the CM till I turn 70. I am not alone, people of the state are with me. With their blessings I will become the CM after BSY. Till then I am part of the party and will work for the cause of party” he further added.
“Yediyurappa is my political guru and Deputy CM Laxman Savadi is a very good friend of mine. Everybody should get opportunity at positions, likewise even I will get my opportunity to be the CM of the state” Katti told reporters.

NIA raids multiple locations in J&K in Red Fort blast case
New Delhi/Srinagar (PTI): The National Investigation Agency on Monday conducted searches at various locations in Jammu and Kashmir in connection with its probe into the Red Fort car bomb blast case, officials said.
“The searches are being conducted at nine places in various locations of J-K,” an NIA spokesperson said.
The locations included the Handwara area of Kupwara district, Rafiabad in Baramullah district, and places in Kulgam and Srinagar districts, among others, the officials said.
At least 13 people were killed, and several others were injured in the blast near the Red Fort that shook the national capital on November 10 last year.
The blast was triggered by suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi, a medical doctor and assistant professor at Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana, who blew up an explosive-laden car he was driving outside the iconic monument.
The NIA has so far arrested 11 accused in the case.
