Yediyurappa’s ‘22 seat in LS Election’ statement backfires; invites criticism from all corners
Siddaramaiah calls it ‘Shocking and disgusting’
Bengaluru, Feb 28: Ever since former Karnataka CM BS Yeddyurappa made the controversial remark, politicising the terror attack in Pulwama and retaliation from India air force, people across the country have expressed their anger and dissent over the BJP’s state president.
Netizen expressed their resentment on social media against Yeddyurappa for using the sacrifice of brave soldiers who laid down their lives for the country, for political gains.
In his tweet, former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that he condemn the political greediness of Yeddyurappa who is dreaming of getting election benefits out of the death of soldiers. While tears from the family members of the martyrs did not yet stope rolling, he criticised.
Calling the statement ‘shocking and disgusting’ Siddaramaiah added “It is unfortunate that @BJP4India is calculating electoral gains even before the dust has settled. No patriot shall derive such sadistic gains over soldiers' death, only a anti-nationalist can”
KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao also said that the statement of Yeddyurappa on politicising the Jammu and Kashmir issue was unfortunate and condemnable.
Yeddyurappa's statement
On Wednesday, Yeddyurappa said in Chitradurga that "after 40 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been giving a befitting reply to Pakistan in retaliation to Pulwama attack on our soldiers. One fighter jet of Pakistan was already shot down. Modi had said that he would take revenge for every drop of blood of 44 soldiers and is doing it. People including opposition parties have welcomed the retaliation on Pakistan. Youth have also enjoyed it and this would help BJP to win 22 seats in forthcoming Lok Sabha elections in the state" which stirred a nation-wide controversy calling for harsh criticism from all corners.
Shocking & disgusting to understand #BJPsPlot4Vote. It is unfortunate that @BJP4India is calculating electoral gains even before the dust has settled. No patriot shall derive such sadistic gains over soldiers' death, only a anti-nationalist can.

Kolhapur’s Saee Jadhav becomes first woman Territorial Army officer to pass out of IMA
Pune (PTI): Saee Jadhav from Maharashtra’s Kolhapur has become the first woman Territorial Army officer to complete pre-commissioning training at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun, breaking the institution’s 93-year-old tradition of male-only officer training.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis congratulated her and said her achievement is an inspiring milestone that gives direction to the dreams of countless young girls across the country.
Jadhav, 23, was commissioned as a Lieutenant during the Passing Out Parade of the 157th course held last week, marking a historic milestone for the IMA, which was established in 1932 and has since produced generations of Army officers.
She was commissioned into the services on December 13 during the commissioning ceremony at IMA, Dehradun.
Speaking to PTI, Saee’s father Sandip Jadhav, a serving major with the Territorial Army, said that Saee has been commissioned into the 130 Territorial Army (ecological ) battalion of Kumaon Regiment at Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand.
Saee is currently pursuing her MBA through distance learning, he said.
“While pursuing her MBA, she was also preparing for competitive exams and TA (Territorial Army). She appeared for the exam in December 2023. There was only one vacancy for a woman officer in TA and since her rank was at the top in merit, she was selected,” said Major Jadhav.
“She is now commissioned into 130 Infantry Battalion (TA) of Kumaon Regiment at Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand,” he said.
Jadhav said her daughter was inclined to join the armed forces, given the family’s armed forces background. “As parents, we feel proud that our daughter followed her dream and chose to serve the nation,” he added.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also congratulated “Marathi Mulgi” Saee.
“She has created history by becoming first woman officer cadet to pass out of IMA in 93 years… It is a matter of immense pride that this honour has gone to a Marathi Mulgi!,” he wrote in a post on X.
“This is not just an individual success story, but an inspiring milestone that gives direction to the dreams of countless young girls across the country. Educated and brought up in Belgaum and originally from Kolhapur, Sai represents the 4th generation of the Jadhav family to carry forward the legacy of service to the nation,” he added.
