CM Yediyurappa likely to make the announcement before next cabinet expansion. Karnataka govt has 3 deputy CMs now, and it was under pressure to induct more.
B.Y. Vijayendra, the younger son of Karnataka CM B.S. Yediyurappa, is creating a stir in Karnataka politics with his acumen for strategy and organisational skills.
Winning 12 of 15 seats in the by-elections is proof that Yediyurappa is the most influential BJP leader in Karnataka, and one who delivers on his promises.
The Karnataka govt has tasked a Textbook Committee to review a chapter on Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan in a middle school history textbook after BJP leaders demanded its removal.
Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
In an interview with Gulistan News this week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government would leave law and order to J&K Police and slowly withdraw troops.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
I am no fan of Yadiyurappa. But, he has done what other timid politicians dared not do – put all these so-called “seers’ in their place. In Karnataka politics, every sect or caste has a Mutt, and a “seer”, who cannot see beyond his caste. Such people have been interfering in electoral politics too often. Politicians too have been guilty of hobnobbing with such pontiffs with the hope of garnering the votes of that particular sect. Especially, Lingayats and Vokkaligas are notorious for interference by pontiffs of their sects. It is good that Yadiyurappa has shows his place to this petty pontiff. He has received a lot of public support in Karnataka, including from other leading pontiffs. Ideally, if these seers want to play politics, they shed their saffron robe and enter electoral politics. They must not meddle in politics without any accountability.

SS want to live in politics by doing on regionalism cards. This type politics against Federalism.
