B.S. Yediyurappa appeals to BJP leaders to work together to expose failures of Congress government in Karnataka

Commenting on the Congress party’s convention in Hassan, Shivamogga Lok Sabha member B.Y. Raghavendra said that the Congress government is trying to divert people’s attention from the corruption charges against the CM and others by holding the convention.

Former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa urged his colleagues in the BJP to unite to expose the shortcomings of the Congress government in Karnataka. Referring to infighting within the BJP in Karnataka, Mr. Yediyurappa said, “We can achieve something only when all of us go together.”

Speaking to reporters in Shivamogga on December 5, Mr. Yediyurappa said fighting against each other would not benefit either group. “I appeal to party leaders that we need to fight together, exposing the failures of the ruling party in the coming legislature session,” he stated.

Reacting to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s comments on the findings of the Enforcement Directorate in the alleged MUDA scam, Mr. Yediyurappa said the CM must be reacting out of worry over the ED’s findings. Being the CM, he should be respectful of the ED, and commenting on its investigation would not be suitable for his position.

Shivamogga Lok Sabha member B.Y. Raghavendra, commenting on the Congress party’s convention in Hassan, said that the Congress government is trying to divert people’s attention from the corruption charges against the CM and others by holding the convention.

Further on the Lok Sabha session, Mr. Raghavendra said the Congress did not allow Parliament to function for the whole week. “We could not debate or discuss any important issue. Nor did we discuss any new bill. I hope from now on, the session is not disrupted”, he said.
