Kumaraswamy is blackmailing to keep Congress leaders under control: BSY
Resignation issue
Bengaluru, Jan 28: “On one side, Kumaraswamy’s statement is saying everything is not fine in the coalition government and on the other side, it is a blackmailing strategy through AICC president Rahul Gandhi to keep the Congress leaders under control”, said BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa.
“Resignation statement of the Chief Minister is exposing the internal bickering within the coalition partners. The differences between Congress and JDS proved the statement of the Chief Minister.
The CM and the Congress leaders have been passing buck on us saying that the BJP has been doing ‘Operation Lotus’ in order to divert the attention of the people and it is a biggest strategy to cover-up the failures of the coalition government”, he said in a press statement.
Though there was severe drought in the state, the coalition government was sleeping. So, it was not bothering about the plights of the people. Though it was almost one month after a farmer’s suicide at Doddachellur village in Chitradurga district, no officer or elected representative have visited the house of the farmer, he said.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
Further investigation is underway.
