Bengaluru, Jan 16: “It’s ‘bus stand love’ of BJP state president and former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa. He has been trying to attract those who have got married already. He will not succeed in his attempt”, MLC CM Ibrahim ridiculed.

Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, Ibrahim said that “We do not have the fear of toppling the Congress-JDS coalition government, because Congress is disciplined party and it will create MLAs.

The Congress has people’s support. Former chief minister Siddaramaiah, KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao, Congress incharge KC Venugopal and other leaders have already clarified the issue”, he said.

“The coalition government has been functioning well. But Yeddyurappa has been trying to take ‘chaste women’. This is a kind of bus stand love. Only, bus stand ‘devadasis’ would go with them.

The coalition government has completed just six months. Within this period, BJP is bored of losing the power, because, it has bitten the dust in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. BJP leaders do not have confidence on its MLAs”, Ibrahim said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a big blow to the labour class. HAL has reached a position of closing. But Modi has been working for the industrialists and corporate companies and struck Rafale deal. People of the country have been observing everything, he said.

Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.

Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.

Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.

An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.

The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.

A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.

Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."

"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.

"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.

A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
