Bangalore: Yeddyurappa Loyalists Launch Signature Campaign

Bangalore, Feb 2 (PTI): Seeking to mount pressure on the BJP central leadership, a group of party MLAs loyal to former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa today launched a signature campaign to press their demand for a 'suitable position' to their leader.

An MLA, leading the campaign coming in the backdrop of the party high command cold shouldering Yeddyurappa's demand, claimed about 25 legislators had already signed the memorandum.

The leader refusing to be identified said, MLAs loyal to Yeddyurappa would meet here on February 8 and later lead a delegation to BJP President Nitin Gadkari to present their memorandum.

The Yeddyurappa loyalists wanted the BJP leadership to convene a legislature party meet and seek the opinion of MLAs on the issue of who should lead the party in the next year Assembly elections.

Yeddyurappa had set two deadlines so far to the party high command to concede his demand for a "position", but the BJP had ignored them.

The saffron party high command, according to BJP sources, had told Yeddyurappa that it would consider his demand after he comes clean in the corruption cases against him.

    THE KARNATAKA ROADS ARE THE BEST PROOF FOR DEVELOPMENT UNDER BJP RULE OF NEARLY 4 YEARS. ALL THESE ROADS CAN BE CONSIDERED LIKE PADDY FIELDS WHERE IF IT RAINS CONSTANTLY, WE CAN HAVE A GOOD PADDY CROP. THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT MR. SETH IS TRYING TO CONVINCE HIMSELF AND OTHERS. BJP RULE HAS BEEN A "CIRCUS COMPANY" AS YEDDY CONFESSED SO RECENTLY IN ONE OF HIS TALKS. HIS DESIRE TO BECOME CHIEF MINISTER IS TO PAY BACK THE CORRUPT BJP LEADERS WHO ARE STILL HOLDING POWER IN KARNATAKA STATE. ALL YEDDY'S SCAMS HAVE BEEN INTELLIGENTLY PLANNED BY ALL THE BJP LEADERS IN KARNATAKA. KARNATAKA SOME YEARS BACK WAS A HEVEN FOR TOURISTS, NOW IT HAS BECOME HEVEN FOR RAMA SENE, BAJRANDAL AND VHP CADRES, WHO INVOLVE IN SOME CASES HOISING PAKI FLAG, GIVING USELESS AND IRRESPONSIBLE SPEECHES TO MAKE A MOAKERY OF HINDUISM AND ITS RICH AND GREAT TRADITIONAL SPIRITUAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL VALUES. WHAT THESE BJP AND ALLIED FORCES HAVE DONE IS SYSTEMATICALLY DESTROY HINDUISM AND ITS AGE OLD HOLIEST OF TRADITIONS TRYING TO TWIST THIER MEANING TO SUIT THEIR POLITICAL AGENDAS. THIS IS A REAL SHAME. I DO NOT SAY CONGRESS IS ALL FREE FROM CORRUPTION, BUT BJP IN THE NAME OF YATRAS AND OTHER MOVEMENTS ARE JUST NOT BETTER THAN CONGRESS AND IF AT ALL THEY COME TO POWER IN THE CENTRE AFTER 50 YEARS FROM NOW, THEY WILL BE NO BETTER THAN RANTER WORSE THAN THE PRESENT CONGRESS. JAI HOO.... JAI HOO....

    Dear Lydia Lobo, Kadri

    You comment based on the contents of this column. I comment based on the actual scenario. That is the difference between you and me.

    The MLAs are doing signature campaign on Yeddy's request. Yeddy orders and his MLAs ute the order. Yeddi is pressurizing the high command through his MLAs since his own request will not be honored by high command.

    This is the hidden truth which a common man can understand.

    Now tell me again which convent you studied..

    Mr.Yedurappa may be corrupt but my feeling is that the Karnataka under BJP has seen more progress in last five years compared to the fifty years of the congress rule. I have to disagree with each every one of the commnetators.

    Hmmm Yedi, lots of plans and efforts are carried out to bring down Sadananda Gowda now. Let that poor chap stay in power for some time. Instead of supporting him, you are showing your hunger for power.

    Dinesh Poojary,

    Now I understand why you envied me (or Christians in general). The similarity in me and you is that we both are Kannada Medium products. Yet, why you and I understood the topic differently ? I'll tell you the answer - I studied in institutions run by the CHURCH / CONVENT (that you always abhor) while you studied in Government school !

    Read again - here the signature campaign is not by Yeddy but by the MLAs ! THEY demand that a 'Position' be given to him again and they will lead a delegation to Nitin Gadkari in this regard !

    There is not a single day without trouble since the BJP government formed.Then the BJP continued in power without a majority and this is proved by the recent court verdict.Since Eddy resigned and DVS took over in state not a single day is peaceful for DVS and I wonder how he can keep smiling and run the show.Now even in the rest of the days of the BJP to be in power we cannot say how many days the BJP government will continue.

    The Eddy drama continued ever since he came out of the jail and now running around on claim that he is innocent.It is a shame on the people who voted for the BJP because they elected a party of corrupt and selfish people who broke all records of the Karnataka political history by 1. Ruling the state without a majority 2. Sending the CM to jail and again claiming key position for him when he is on bail.

    I think he did not reach his target. That's why by hook or crook he want to be in power to grab as much as possible to reach the target. You may shiver till you enter the water. Once you dip no more shivering. Similarly this guy drowned in the scam sea and not bothered to accusations

    SUITABLE POSITION IN JAIL HAS TO BE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED BEFORE DREAMING TO HOLD A SUITECASE-ABLE POSITION AFTERWARDS.

    There is one suitable position for Shriman Yedyurappa. I feel no one from BJP or Congress or JDS will object to it. That is in Parappana Agrahara. Jai ho Shrimam Yedyurappa. Now time for him to change his name once again. Corrupt Yedyurappa.

    Dear Yeddi - Pls stop this signature campaign. You will not be reinstated again for CM post because your BJP leaders has no compromise for corruption unlike their counterpart congress.
