If BJP comes to power, Siddaramaiah will become opposition leader: Yeddyurappa
Bengaluru, Dec 31: “Former chief minister Siddaramaiah has given an irresponsible statement that the ‘BJP has indulged in horse trading of MLAs through Operation Lotus’. It is not good for him. If the coalition government collapsed, we will form the government. If BJP government is formed, Siddaramaiah will become the opposition leader”, BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa predicted.
Speaking to reporters at the party office here on Monday, Yeddyurappa said that “We are not destabilizing the coalition government. If the coalition government is collapsed, we are not saints to sit idle. Anything could be possible in New Year due to displeasure and differences between coalition partners Congress and JDS. So, anything could happen at any time in politics”, he opined.
Total 156 taluks in the state were reeling under severe drought situation and farmers have been committing suicide. But Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has gone to foreign to celebrate New Year, which is the height of irresponsibility. How far it was right to go abroad at this time? Even the Cabinet colleagues also have gone to some places for New Year celebrations, he said.
The leaders of the coalition government were indulging in mudslinging activities. Former CM Siddaramaiah has been repeatedly telling that some leaders have worked to defeat me in the election to miss the CM position. The government was not serious in the development of the state, he alleged.
“It is just a rumour that disgruntled Congress MLAs have met BJP leaders in New Delhi. Neither the disgruntled MLAs, nor former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi met BJP leaders in New Delhi”.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
