MP Pratap Simha’s Irresponsible attitude during central team’s visit is Condemnable: A.K Subbayya
Ponnampete, Sept 15: The irresponsible attitude displayed by MP Pratap Simha during the visit of the central team, which had come to assess the extent of damage caused by floods and landslides in Kodagu district, is most condemnable,” stated former MLA AK Subbayya.
In a release issued here on Saturday, he said that a central assessment team had visited Kodagu to assess the damage caused by natural disaster and recommend the central government for suitable compensation. MP Pratap Simha who was present on the spot when the central team visited Hebbatageri village near Madikeri, has attempted to divert the attention of the team by pointing to unrelated issues such as land transition, resort construction, etc. The MP has copied some of the environmentalists' readymade statements and tried to conceal the fact. It is not the job of Pratap Singh to do being an MP. Instead, this is an irresponsible attitude. This move of the MP is likely to prevent the fund that was supposed to come from the center, Subbayya expressed concern.
“MP Pratap Simha has done injustice to the Kodagu’s people and acted as an anti-people by diverting the central team’s attention to other issues instead of shifting their focus towards the losses and difficulties occurred in Kodagu and get the maximum possible relief fund from the center. It is a welcomable move that a local BJP leader openly condemned the act of the parliamentarian on the spot, “ Subbayya opined.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
