 Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa dropped hints that the outgoing Rajya Sabha member M Venkaiah Naidu could be retained as the party’s candidate for the elections slated for June.
Though he was not explicit, the CM said the BJP believed in a pan-India concept and that the decision on the candidates would be made by the party’s central leadership at an appropriate time.
“I will leave it to the leadership,” he said, when asked the names of the probable candidates for the RS polls.

Dr Virupakshi, who is attending former minister Halappa at the Mcgann Hospital, said that his condition was stable on Tuesday.
"As he is suffering from multi-organ diseases, we cannot take a risk. Hence, we have decided to shift him to Victoria Hospital in Bangalore on Wednesday," he said.
Virupakshi told reporters at the Mcgann Hospital on Tuesday that Halappa has been treated for asthma, diabetes, hypertension and hypothyroidism. He has been an asthma and diabetes patient for about 10 years, so the blood vessels and heart might be damaged.
His condition may further aggravate due to stress. We have no angiogram facility, hence we will get a second opinion from the experts in Bangalore, he explained.
On the former minister's refusal to give a blood sample, Mcgann Hospital medical superintendent Dr SK Mahendrappa said that CID personnel had submitted a list demanding certain extracts. When he refused to give a blood sample, CID officer Yogappa struck off this demand from the list. If the doctors require a blood sample for a DNA test, we will take it in the presence of the magistrate, he added.

Medical Superintendent Dr S K Mahendrappa said that the 49-year-old former minister, who was admitted to the hospital on Sunday night after being arrested by the CID, has been suffering from multi-organ diseases caused by metabolic disorders.
“Halappa has been suffering from allergic bronchitis (asthma) and diabetes (type-2) for about 10 years.
He has also been suffering from postural vertigo for the past three years,” he said. |

 Former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy accused Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa of neglecting the plight of the people in floodhit North Karnataka region.
“The Chief Minister visits various places in Bangalore city such as Lalbagh, Cubbon Park and sites of Metro Rail construction but has completely forgotten the flood-hit region where the people are still living in pathetic condition. This is the proof that Yeddyurappa’s concern for the ruralites is only cosmetic,” Kumaraswamy told presspersons here on Sunday.
He lambasting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government for utterly failing to build even a single house on its own. He pointed out that it were various mutts and voluntary organisations that had built the houses and the government had just handed over the keys to the people.

First, there were elephants and other wild animals wandering out of the forests and encroaching land inhabited by humans.
Now, it is the turn of the tigers. The big cats and wild dogs are frequently sighted at the villages falling in the Omkar forest range here. The increasing number of tigers, boars and leopards entering these villages and the attacks on domestic livestock have increased the fear among the people of nearby Nanjangud.
Kurubarahundi, Hanchipura, Kootanahalli, Hoapura, Devarajashettypura, Indiranagar, Parvathipura and other villages are the most affected due to the frequent tiger visits.
The tigers wander into the villages in the evenings and in the wee hours. One of the tigers attacked a buffalo owned by extaluk panchayat member MV Prabhuswamy of Nagalapura village. |
