Bangalore:

BJP leader Arun Jaitley will meet senior Karnataka party leaders on Saturday to select a new head for the state unit following incumbent KS Eshwarappa's resignation on Thursday.

Jaitley, leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha, is reaching Bangalore late on Friday and senior state leaders will meet him Saturday to finalise the name, Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar told reporters.

Formal announcement of the new party chief will be made in two or three days by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh after Jaitley briefs him on the Bangalore talks, he said.

Karnataka: BJP meet on Saturday to select new head for the state unit

Eshwarappa, who is also deputy chief minister handling revenue portfolio, announced his resignation from the party chief post soon after voting ended for 208 urban local bodies in the state on Thursday.

Though his three-year term ended in January, 2013, the timing of the announcement came as a surprise as the party had given indications that he will remain in office till after assembly elections due in May.

At least five names are making rounds in BJP circles to succeed Eshwarappa. The five are former party chief and former chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda, Deputy Chief Minister R Ashoka, Minor Irrigation Minister Govind Karjol and Lok Sabha members Pralhad Joshi and Nalin Kumar Kateel.

The new president will be BJP's third president after the party came to power for the first time in the state in May 2008.

Eshwarappa succeeded Sadananda Gowda in January 2010.

Incidentally Shettar is the party's third chief minister. He took over from Sadananda Gowda in July 2012.

Gowda succeeded BS Yeddyurappa in August 2011 after he was forced quit as chief minister over mining bribery charges.

Polling for 208 urban local bodies in Karnataka, Karnataka urban local body polls underway, District Wise ULB Result, Karnataka Poll 2013, Karnataka Poll news, Karnataka News 2013

Bangalore: 07 March 2013

Polling for 208 urban local bodies in Karnataka, the results of which will be seen as a referendum on the BJP's corruption-scarred rule in the state, ahead of Assembly Elections due in May, began on Thursday amid tight security.

Counting of votes will be held on March 11.

The local bodies are spread across all 30 districts of the state.

Over 8.5 million voters of the state's total electorate of more than 40 million, are eligible to vote in the polls to the seven city corporations (excluding Bangalore), 43 city municipal corporations, 65 town municipal councils and 93 town panchayats.

Elections to the Bangalore civic body, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike or Greater Bangalore City Corporation, were held in 2010 and are due in 2015.

Polling, which began around 7 am in 10,000 polling booths, supervised by around 46,000 officials, will end at 5 pm.

Over a 100,000 police personnel are on poll duty to ensure orderly balloting.

Voting is being held to elect 4,867 representatives as 85 have been elected unopposed and there were no nominations for 24 seats, according to the state election commission.

More than 21,000 candidates are in the fray with the Congress fielding the highest number of candidates, 4,492, followed by Bharatiya Janata Party 3,954 and Janata Dal-Secular 3,651.

Two new outfits -the Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) and BSR ('Badavara Shramikara Mattu Raithara' or poor, workers and farmers') Congress - both floated by former BJP men are also in the fray.

The KJP, headed by former BJP chief minister BS Yeddyurappa, has fielded 1,966 candidates while BSR Congress, floated by former BJP minister B. Sriramulu 1,496.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) is contesting 133 seats.

The rest are independents.

Though the outcome will impact the morale of all the parties in the fray, focus is mainly on the show the BJP will put up.

This is the first major election the BJP is facing after coming to power in the state for the first time in May 2008.

The results will be a test of popularity of Jagadish Shettar, who is BJP's third chief minister in over four years. This is the first elections after he took office in July last year.

The BJP has also declared that he is the party's chief ministerial candidate in the forthcoming assembly polls.

The results will also have a major bearing on Yeddyurappa's political fortunes.

He has made his intentions very clear - to defeat BJP. To achieve this goal, he has asked his supporters to work for the victory of Congress candidates in places where KJP is not contesting or is not sure of winning.

The Congress was the major winner in the last polls to these local bodies held five years ago, followed by JDS and BJP.

Bangalore:06 March 2013

Karnataka High Court Wednesday ordered issue of notice to former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa on a petition challenging an Election Commission order recognising him as the President of Karnataka Janata Party (KJP).

Justice Mohan Shantanagoudar gave the order on the petition filed by founder of KJP Padmanabha Prasanna Kumar challenging the recognition on the ground Yeddyurappa had violated rules while declaring himself as the party President.

The court had on February 27 ordered issue of notice to the Election Commission.

Prasanna Kumar had formally handed over the reigns of the party to Yeddyurappa at a rally in Haveri on Dec 9 last year.

Election Commission subsequently recognised Yeddyurappa as the President of KJP and rejected Prasanna Kumar's claim as the founder President.

Meanwhile, KJP member V Dhananjaya Kumar has filed a defamation suit agaist the petitioner before a magistrate court here.

Delhi, Jan 31:

Thirteen BJP MLAs from Karnataka, who recently quit the party, are set to take oath as member of BS Yeddyurappa's Karnataka Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday.

The Speaker of the state Assembly accepted their resignations on Wednesday. This has endangered the BJP government as it has now support of only 108 MLAs in the 223-member Assembly.

On Monday, two BJP MLAs submitted a petition to the office of the Speaker, requesting disqualification of 12 MLAs.

They alleged the MLAs were indulging in anti-party activities and were trying to topple the government under the pressure of Yeddyurappa, the former BJP leader who recently quit following a tussle with the central leadership.

The complaining MLAs also submitted a CD and some documents in support of their claims.

K'taka: 13 BJP MLAs to join BSY's party Yeddyurappa, a Lingayat strongman, however, said that he had no plans of toppling the BJP government in the state and was also not eyeing to hijack the presentation of budget this year.

The BJP leadership, meanwhile, maintained that it was confident of completing its full tenure.

Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar stressed the fact after meeting party president Rajnath Singh, who recently succeeded Nitin Gadkari, in New Delhi, Singh also said that there was no crisis in Karnataka.

Shettar said there was no threat to the government and that the budget would be presented on February 8.

According to some quarters, the KJP was looking for an opportunity to disrupt the session to deny any advantage to the BJP ahead of the state polls scheduled this year.

Governor HR Bhardwaj said on January 26 that the Shettar government still enjoyed a majority and as the leader of the BJP legislature party, it was his call to take action on the resignation of the 13 MLAs.
