Amit Shah will focus on Karnataka to make it ‘Congress mukt’: Yeddyurappa


Bengaluru, Jun 26 (Deccan Chronicle): State BJP president B.S. Yeddyurappa made it clear on Sunday that it will be a centralised campaign for the Assembly 2018 polls- with party president Amit Shah set to concentrate on Karnataka in the last round of the mission to make the country ‘Congress-free.’

“People are fed up with Congress governance (in Karnataka). The party will harp on three years of PM Narendra Modi’s governance in the run-up to the Assembly polls. Mr Shah will focus on Karnataka as this is the last major state that the Congress is in power now,” said Yeddyurappa, who is currently in Kolar as part of the Jana Samparka Abhiyan, wherein he has covered 71 Assembly constituencies, travelling over 8,690 km.

The former CM held SC/ST/OBC outreach programmes in Malur, Bangarpet and Bethamangala Assembly constituencies in Kolar. Breathing fire against the Congress government, he charged that instead of hastening work on the Yetthinahole project, the government had only purchased pipes and collected commission! Refering to the political situation in Karnataka, he said it had drastically changed after the last two elections in 2013 and 2014.

"When JD(S) did not keep its coalition commitment of handing over power to us in 2007, we were forced go to polls and came to power in 2008. In 2013, the BJP was divided into three parts (BJP, KJP and BSR Congress) which helped the Congress come to power. But, this time, we are united and people are looking for good governance on the lines of what Narendra Modi has provided," he said.

When asked about differences among party cadre, Yeddyurappa claimed that they had been ironed out. "Everyone has to work for the party, we are reaching out to all communities in the state. Unlike earlier years, the BJP has grown beyond Coastal, Malnad and Mumbai Karnataka regions. Apart from anti-incumbency of the Congress government, our inherent strength, along with our centralised campaign, will help us come to power," he added.

    Thanks to BJP for supporting You Mr Yeddyurappa , the Congress will survive in Karnataka . Let the propaganda ads run ,its not going to do difference to Congress . As a earlier BJP leader you were the cause of the downfall of the BJP and again the same people will throw you out. Congress may not have done the earlier blunders and the Karnataka leadership is still in better hands . Your party is better at taking care of cows and see what people eat at their homes .Create confusion during elections in the name of religion and make India a laughing stock!!!

    1. Last Assembly Elections, BJP was divided into three parties BJP, JP and BSRC, all three put together got 33% vote share - only 55 seats. Congress won 120 seats with a vote share of 39%
    2. JD(S) got 22% vote share and got 39 seats

    It is clear that a united BJP can wrest advantage of the situation in state. JD(S) is also knocking on the door with strong performances in Mysuru, Mandya, Hassan districts. Thanks to Congress minority appeasement which is gone on overdrive, people are fed up with Siddu Govt

    Yeddy is corrupt. Amit Shah is five times more corrupt. Welcoming BJP to Karnataka is to allow the state to be looted and plundered. Riots will then start. Muslims and Hindus will turn enemies. Christians will be attacked and Dalits will experience atrocities. Congress though not the best is surely better. Let us all join together and make Karnataka BJP mukt. It is a north india party of Hindutva and Hindi, traders and businessmen. It is time for Modi to go. He has done enough damage both to polity and society

    THERE IS NO NECESSITY OF AMIT SHAH COMING TO KARNATAKA BECAUSE CONGRESS HIGH COMMAND ITSELF HAD ALREADY MADE CONGRESS MUKH KARNATAKA BY OPTING SIDDU AS CM WHICH IS SEEN ORIGINAL CONGRESSMEN EITHER LEFT THE PARTY OR OPT AWAY FROM POLITICS. CONGRESS HAS FOOLED ONCE ITS ORIGINAL PARTY WORKERS OTHERWISE BEFORE LAST ELECTIONS IT COULD HAVE DECLARED SIDDU AS CM CANDIDATE LIKE BJP DECLARED BSY AS CM CANDIDATE AND GOT 120 MLA'S.

    When I think about Yeddyurappa, the picture that comes to mind is the scene shown on Television about three years ago - when his corruption was highlighted by Justice Santhosh Hegde - where the CM Yeddyurappa tries to run away from the camera, hiding his face by covering it with a blanket. No other CM has been ridiculed to such an extent. He has been humiliated to such an extent that anybody else in his place would not have shown his face to the world. But not this man. He has absolutely no shame and now wants to be the CM once again. For what? To loot once again? I am not saying that the Congress is not corrupt. The whole world know that they are corrupt too but one thing I have noticed is that while the Congress does not act as though they are not corrupt, the BJP all along denies being corrupt and even gets its ministers absolved of all charges.

Bihar people did this against high hopes of BJP leaders.BJP govt lead by Yeddy means once again same old wine in new bottle......JDS and Congress should forge unity for fight elections and form next govt.100% success guaranteed....

    By banking on Amit Shah for victory, Yeddyurappa has already accepted that he is not in a position to lead his party to victory in Karnataka. The need of the hour is a strong opposition as democracy is in danger in India. The people of India have seen through the Gujarat Model of non development. The Economy is in shambles, Unemployment is at record high, corruption continues unabated. fake currency is back in circulation, divisive politics is being practised to divert the minds of people, Demonetisation and now GST without the proper backup will send our economy into a tail spin. The state youth BJP leader in Kerala was caught printing counterfeit noted of all denominations. Much more will follow. Our Beloved Country in now in dire need of a Strong Opposition and I am sure the people of Karnataka and South India who contribute the maximum to India will rise to the occasion.

    To be wise we should take a expert opinion survey if elections are to held next year.They are the right people .Siddaramaiha has a done a good job by waiving loans upto 50,000 which has made bjp to go off the backfoot.Bjp coming to power is bleak thanks to yedi and eshwarrappa for their infight where they can relax further till 2023.

    Instead of Karnataka, he should focus on one of the most progressive state Punjab in the North where the process of 'BJP Mukht Bharath' has begun and like the South West monsoon will cover the entire country.
