Bengaluru, June 24: Former chief minister and Opposition Leader in the Legislative Assembly BS Yeddyurappa said that instead of naming the Hajj Bhavan after Tipu Sultan, let it be named after former president Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.
After releasing the Kannada version the four years achievement of the NDA government ‘Shuddha Nade- Sukta Vikas’ at the party office at Malleshwaram here on Sunday, Yeddyurappa said that if they wanted to change the name of Hajj Bhavan, it is better to name the Hajj Bhavan after former president late Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.
The party workers have brought out this book to educate the people on the achievements of the Modi government in the last four years. The UPA which ruled the country for ten years had seen more corruption and failed on all fronts. But in the NDA government, the economy of the country was safe and growing, defence system is strong and relationship with international community is also good, he claimed.
When NDA came to power, the BJP was in power in only six states. But now, the party is in power in 20 states. Without having guts to face Narendra Modi, all opposition parties came together. But the BJP would not budge for their unity. The pro-people programmes of the central government would definitely inspire the party in the state. So, the party workers have listed out the achievements of the central government and people would be educated about it, he said.
“HD Kumaraswamy had given lot of assurances before the election. So, 37 JDS MLAs were elected. He had promised of implementing all assurances within 24 hours of coming to power. But nothing has been done. I have asked my party workers to wait and watch. Moreover, we have been giving cooperation in terms of farmers issues. But the earlier government and the present government have taken wrong steps in the farmers issue”, he said.
Let DK Shivakumar disclose all the diaries he has. Who is obstructing him from doing it? He is making lame excuses just to cover-up his mistakes, he alleged.
When asked about BJ Puttaswamy’s outburst, Yeddyurappa said that he was telling that he would resign from the party because of his displeasure. He would speak to him, he said.
MLA Aravind Limbavali, MLC N Ravi Kumar, BJP assistant spokesperson AH Anand, Yuva Morcha general secretary Thammesh Gowda and others were present.

Bengaluru (PTI): A woman was booked on charges of obstructing a police inspector from discharging his official duties and threatening to commit suicide if he did not accept her love proposal, police said on Wednesday.
The 45-year-old inspector attached to the Ramamurthy Nagar Police Station here alleged that the woman repeatedly harassed him, they said.
According to his complaint, the harassment began on October 30, when he started receiving calls from an unknown woman from multiple phone numbers.
During these calls, she allegedly spoke incoherently and claimed to have close links with several highly placed individuals, including the Chief Minister, Deputy CM, Home Minister and other political leaders.
Police said the woman sent photographs via WhatsApp purportedly showing herself with these dignitaries and claimed she could use their influence to compel the inspector to accept her proposal. She also allegedly threatened to use her contacts against him if he refused.

The inspector said that he advised her to visit the police station and submit a written complaint if she had any grievance. However, she did not do so and instead continued to repeatedly call and send messages, which disturbed his official duties, the FIR said.
According to the FIR, on November 7, the woman allegedly visited his office and handed over an envelope containing some tablets along with handwritten letters. The letters contained emotionally charged and inappropriate content, and the woman claimed they were written using her blood, indicating obsessive behaviour.
Despite being clearly informed that the number she was contacting was an official departmental number meant for public service, she allegedly continued making unnecessary calls and messages, causing mental harassment and obstruction to his day-to-day duties, he alleged.
During the inquiry, police learnt that the woman had allegedly exhibited similar behaviour with other police and government officials in the past, it stated.
On December 12, she allegedly went to his police station and shouted and threatened to commit suicide and ruin the inspector's career if he did not respond to her proposal, prompting him to lodge a complaint.
"Based on the complaint, a case was registered against the woman under Sections 132 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from discharge of duty), 351(2) (criminal intimidation) and 221 (obstructing a public servant in discharge of public functions) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Ramamurthy Nagar Police Station. The matter is under investigation," police said.
