Bengaluru: 'Will impose lockdown if PM Modi asks for it' - CM Yediyurappa


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, May 5: In a statement to the media about the extension of the lockdown-like curfew currently in force in Karnataka, chief minister (CM) B S Yediyurappa, said that further steps would be taken as per the directives of the Prime Minister (PM). He said that his government is waiting for suitable advice from the centre.

Speaking to media persons after garlanding the bust of former chief minister K C Reddy, located in the Vidhana Soudha premises on the occasion of his 119th birth anniversary, Yediyurappa noted that there has been a considerable increase in the number of infected persons both in the state and the country as a whole. The Supreme Court has also expressed its opinion in this respect, he noted.

"The Prime Minister has called for a cabinet meeting today to discuss these issues. After the meeting, we will decide about further steps we have to take in the state. If PM Modi asks us to impose lockdown, we will follow that instruction," he clarified.

The Supreme Court has given its advice to the government to announce lockdown without delay. In all likelihood, the Prime Minister may announce a decision on this matter by Wednesday evening.

    Asking for Modi's advice is like asking a toddler what to do. Please follow what the world's top Infectious Disease Specialist, Dr Fauci recommends - A Nationwide lockdown, massive vaccination drive and construction of a large number of makeshift hospitals. Modi instead of vaccinating his people sent the vaccines to other countries and is busy rallying now to increase the number of cases. Bhaiyo or Beheno, Jeena hai to Dr. Fauci ko Suno, Marna hai to Modi ko Suno!

    Maria - As a Modi bhakt, you are trying to justify saying that all the bad advise over the last 7 years came from a team of advisors ? Why did Modi have to give his approval to go ahead ? It's Modi's responsibility and he cannot run away from taking the blame. Best time to resign now and let someone competent take over the reigns.

    What an irresponsible statement? Not capable of taking independent decision by assessing the ground realities? Or does he think he can pass the buck to Centre if livelihood suffers due to lockdown mandated by PM? He should know that no special favour will be bestowed on Karnataka if State suffers economic hardship due to lockdown even if directed by Centre. Karnataka has never been a favourite of any government at the Centre be it BJP or Congress. On the contrary the State is always at the receiving end of Center's apathy in allocation of resources though the State is second only to Maharashtra in generating tax revenue to central pool.It is another matter that this is happening as our parliamentarians are mere numbers.

We know you have forgotten hunger and have amassed big fortune through dubious means but we have to earn daily to survive, so stop this harakiri and stop PCR Pandemic hoax by stopping unscientific asymptomatic spreading theory created by some vested interests to sabotage our nation and its economy through biological weapons to get 2 birds with a single stone.

As i said earlier if there was proper planning this situation should have been avoided and saved thousands of lives. PM and CM why you are waiting, more people to die ?

Don’t let our good state go the UP way, South Indians are intelligent, sadly this state is the only one which has been hijacked by the Saffron Brigade because the people don’t have any individuality like yourself... if you feel like many of us that a lockdown will help, please continue it for a few more weeks and if situ improves then take a call, sitting in Delhi and remote controlling the state is a disaster. @ Mr. Hussain Abudhabi, regards the consignment of aid being held up instead of being immediately distributed for use , a little understanding of “ aap chronology samjaiyhe “ it needs time to paint the picture of the CEO on the equipment... after all we now know this Government is only fit for event management, posturing, and coercion...

Gross mismanagement ..No accountability. Its a disastrous lack of leadership. Oxygen and other resources have been landed last week from oversees but still waiting for customs check ...

May be India's recent covid 19 infections because of vaccinated people and because of Oxford/AstraZeneca (Covishield) vaccines.... First of all, This contagious UK variant could be because of because Oxford/AstraZeneca testing, trials and vaccination in UK and now spreading well in India soon after these mass vaccinations...
