Yeddyurappa credits Modi's tactics for Wing Commander Abhinandan's release
Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP President BS Yeddyurappa on Saturday credited the tactics and strategies used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the release of IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman. He was addressing party workers on Saturday here.
He said that measures and tactics used by Narendra Modi led to international isolation of Pakistan which eventually led to the release of IAF officer who was held captive by Pakistan Army since Wednesday.
He was released on Friday in what the Pakistan termed as the ‘Peace Gesture’.
Yeddyurappa further added that it was for the first time in 40 years that Indian forces crossed the LOC and attack terrorist camps across the border. He also added that the forces were given complete freedom to carry out the attacks and avenge Pulwama.
Yeddyurappa’s statement comes days after his earlier statement that stirred controversy, where he said that the Pulwama attack and the IAF air strike will help BJP win 22 out of 28 Lok Sabha seats in the upcoming elections.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
