Amit Shah advises Karnataka BJP to intensify its fight against ‘corrupt' Congress govt
Speaking to reporters, Vijayendra said, 'This morning, I along with former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, Opposition Leader R Ashoka, and MLA Aravind Bellad met Amit Shah ji. We discussed the political scenario in Karnataka and current developments.' He alleged that the state government is making decisions solely to appease minority communities, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with a vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas', ensures justice for all communities–Hindus and minorities alike.
Shah was in the city to inaugurate the Adichunchanagiri University (ACU) Bengaluru campus, BGS Medical College and Hospital here.
Bengaluru, Jun 20 (PTI) Karnataka BJP President B Y Vijayendra on Friday said that Union Home Minister and senior party leader Amit Shah has given guidance and suggestions to the state unit to intensify the fight against the 'corrupt' Congress government.
'Yesterday, under the Housing Department, the reservation for minorities for housing schemes was increased from 10 to 15 per cent….CM Siddaramaiah is practicing divisive politics. The BJP will fight against it. The chief minister's conduct is demeaning to the dignity of his position,' he added.
Accusing the CM of running a 'Tughlaq Darbar' by forgetting that he is the state's elected leader, the state BJP chief expressed confidence that people will teach the government a lesson in the coming days.
In response to a question, Vijayendra said that ahead of the Assembly session, BJP will hold discussions with JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy and legislators regarding having a committee for proper coordination between the two parties.
Conceding that there is some disgruntlement in the party and few leaders have expressed it, he said, 'It is a local issue. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, I and some senior leaders have discussed and decided that leaders like Joshi, C T Ravi and Ravi Kumar should resolve this and efforts are on in this regard by meeting leaders who have issues.' Keeping the Zilla and Taluk Panchayat polls in mind and at a time when the party has to fight against the government on the streets, the BJP has to resolve internal issues and stand united, and efforts are on in this direction, he added.

‘Santosh Mitra Sq puja query for visitors' safety'
Kolkata: Police on Friday said the queries on Santosh Mitra Square Durga Puja —its organisers include BJP's Sajal Ghosh—were aimed at ensuring safety for all visitors. DCP (central) Indira Mukherjee said, "The Muchipara OC sent a letter on May 14, highlighting Durga Puja safety requirements, given the large crowd it draws. The letter was sent well before the puja theme was announced. Another letter on June 17 reiterated the need for compliance with crowd management protocol. The puja committee president replied on June 18, expressing willingness to cooperate. Efforts to create confusion undermine the spirit of cooperation."

Writers, advocates, artistes, professors, activists oppose conference
Writers, advocates, artistes, professors and activists on Friday opposed Lord Murugan devotees conference to be held in Madurai on June 22. Speaking at the event organised by the Madurai Madha Nallinakka Makkal Kootamaipu, the forum members said that BJP, Hindu Munnani and the Sangh Parivar were conducting the event only to disturb communal harmony in Madurai. 'The Sangh Parivar, earlier, tried to divide the people of Madurai through the Tirupparankundram issue. It did not accept the reports on the Keeladi findings and never voiced support to the cause of the Tamils.' Madurai has a tradition of communal harmony. The people should unite and oppose this attempt made to disturb communal harmony, the forum members said.
