Name Haj Bhawan after Abdul Kalam: BSY
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.

NEET aspirant found hanging in Kota, 9th suspected suicide this year
Kota, Mar 25 (PTI): A 17-year-old medical aspirant allegedly hanged himself from an iron rod in his hostel room in Kota’s Jawahar Nagar area on Tuesday, police said.
This is the ninth case of suspected suicide by a coaching student in Kota since January.
Harshraj Shankar, a native of Bihar’s Nalanda district, had been preparing for the medical entrance exam in a coaching institute here since April last year, they said.
After being informed by the hostel caretaker that this afternoon that the boy had bolted the door from inside and was not responding, a police team reached the spot, Jawahar Nagar SHO Ramlaxman.
The team broke open the room door and found the boy hanging to an iron rod, he added.
The ceiling fan in the hostel room was equipped with “anti-suicide devise”. So, the NEET aspirant arranged an iron rod to hang himself, the police said.
No suicide note was recovered from the spot, the SHO said, adding that the body has been shifted to the mortuary of a hospital and a post-mortem would be conducted after the arrival of his parents who have been informed.
A probe is underway.
This is the ninth student suicide this year that took place in the city famous for its being a coaching hub. Six coaching students -- five JEE, one NEET -- killed themselves in January alone.
Seventeen coaching students died by suicide in Kota in 2024. In 2023, the number stood at 26.
