With all top leaders of Karnataka camping in bypoll-bound constituencies, attacks and counter-attacks continued unabated. Saturday saw former Chief Ministers Siddaramaiah and B.S. Yediyurappa arguing over why the latter had to step down from his post.
At a rally in Hangal constituency, Mr. Yediyurappa claimed that he stepped down “voluntarily” because he wanted to make way for others. “I am not one to stick to power. Some people may hesitate to give up the post of a gram panchayat president. But I threw my resignation to the post of Chief Minister without any qualms,” he said, adding that he continued to earn the love of people though he was no longer a Chief Minister. He added that Congress leaders were talking without a thought because they were frustrated over their dwindling popularity and political strength.

On December 23, the newly elected office bearers of the Anna Nagar Towers Club, led by its president ‘Purasai’ B. Ranganathan, who is a former MLA, met with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin and conveyed their greetings. According to a press release, besides, ‘Purasai’ B. Ranganathan, the Anna Nagar Towers Club delegation that met Stalin at Anna Arivalayam, the DMK Party headquarters, included vice-president R. Sivakumar, secretary R. Muralibabu, joint secretary D.
