After Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa tested coronavirus positive on Sunday night, his youngest daughter B.Y. Padmavati was found to have been infected with the disease, an official said on Monday.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan on Sunday said no one would be able to destabilise the BJP goverment in Karnataka and it would complete the remaining three-year term.
Following a verbal spat with the seer of 'Panchamasali Guru Peetha', Vachanananda Swamiji, who was recommending to appoint BJP leader as minister from the community threatening if it is not done then the Lingayat community will leave Yediyurappa, the Karnataka CM said he was ready to quit the CM post but cannot be threatened like this.
Vijaynagara is a Karnataka Assembly constituency in Bengaluru Urban District and Bengaluru region of Karnataka and is a part of the Bangalore South Parliamentary/Lok Sabha constituency. The 2019 Bypoll candidates are Venkatrao Ghorpade - INC, NM Nabi - JD(S), Anand Singh - BJP.
The Congress in Karnataka on Saturday demanded that the Election Commission initiate action against Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa for alleged violation of the model code of conduct in the state where bypolls are to be held in 15 assembly constituencies on December 5.
Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa won the trust vote in the assembly on Monday, proving his government's majority. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had issued a whip to all its 105 legislators to attend the assembly on Monday from 11 a.m.
BJP workers held celebrations across the state after the party staked claim to form the government three days after the fall of the HD Kumaraswamy-led coalition front of the Congress and the JD(S).
What's in a name, you would ask now. A lot, Yeddiyurappa would say. In a letter addressed to Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala, the soon-to-be chief minister has signed as "Yediyurappa" and not "Yeddyurappa".
Forming a government with JDS help is an impossibility. I have had a distasteful experience of 20-20 rule under Kumaraswamy's chief ministership.
In the elections, the BJP has won 25 of the 28 parliamentary seats in the state, the Janata Dal-Secular and the Congress one seat each and Independent Sumalatha Ambareesh, who was backed by the BJP, secured one seat.
Addressing reporters, Congress Spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala demanded to know who the "beneficiaries" of the money paid by Yeddyurappa were, saying, "It is a fit case to be investigated by the newly constituted Lokpal."
Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Saturday said he would retire from politics if it was proven that the audio clip released by him about BJP state unit president B S Yeddyurappa's alleged toppling game was mimicry and concocted.
Playing the audio tape, Sharanagouda said in Kumaraswamy's presence that Yeddyurappa told him that he had booked the state legislative Assembly Speaker (K.R. Ramesh Kumar) by paying him Rs 50 crore.
Yeddyurappa's comments come as dissident activities of the MLAs intensified in the Congress over not getting ministerial berths.
With defeat staring him in the face, Yeddyurappa announced his decision to quit on the floor of the Assembly after a brief emotion-laden speech.
Yeddyurappa, who took oath as Karnataka CM on May 17, was left with no other option than to resign as the BJP could not muster the requisite majority in the Assembly.
BS Yeddyurappa resigned as the Chief Minister of Karnataka ahead of a crucial floor test, announcing the same in a dramatic speech.
Exuding confidence about emerging victorious in the floor test, Yeddyurappa said that he will win the trial of strength “100 per cent” despite the numbers heavily stacked against him.
Objecting to Bopaiah's appointment as pro-tem speaker, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said, "What the BJP has done is against the rule book. Ideally the senior most leader is supposed to hold that position."
In historic pre-dawn hearing on Thursday, the apex court bench had refused to stay Yeddyurppa’s swearing-in as Karnataka chief minister but made it clear that the government formation would be subject to its final order on the Congress-JD(S) petition before it.
