MB Patil asks Basavaraj Bommai to join Congress, says he will be treated like BSY, Shettar in BJP
Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has received an invitation from Industries Minister MB Patil to join the Congress party. Patil took to Twitter on Monday to express his thoughts on the delay in electing the leader of the opposition.
He also mockingly congratulated former CM HD Kumaraswamy on his upcoming role as the leader of the opposition and hinted that Basavaraj Bommai may face a similar situation as his predecessors, Yeddyurappa and Jagadish Shettar.
In his tweet, Patil stated, "BJP is a collapsing house of cards. Bommai should think about joining Congress. Congress High Command may consider if he reverts to secular ideology as he did in the past and like senior Bommai."
ಶೀಘ್ರದಲ್ಲೇ ವಿಪಕ್ಷ ನಾಯಕರಾಗಲಿರುವ ಶ್ರೀ @hd_kumaraswamy ಅವರಿಗೆ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳು.

ಅಂತಿಮವಾಗಿ @BJP4Karnatakaವು ಶ್ರೀ @BSBommai ಅವರನ್ನು ಮೂಲೆಗುಂಪು ಮಾಡಲು ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಿದಂತಿದೆ.
ಬೊಮ್ಮಾಯಿಯವರಿಗೂ ಸಹ ಶ್ರೀ @BSYBJP, ಶ್ರೀ @JagadishShettar ಅವರಿಗೆ ಬಂದಂತಹ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಯೇ ಬರಲಿದೆ.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
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.
