BJP website registers 2 lakh
hits after launch
on April 21

BANGALORE: After the launch of the Bharaitya Janata Party website, the party’s Chief Ministerial candidate B.S. Yeddyurappa is now all set to launch his website ( www.vijayeekarnataka.com).

BJP spokesperson D.H. Shankaramurthy told presspersons in Bangalore on Saturday that the website will be launched on April 28.

He said that the party website ( www.bjpkarnataka.org), which was launched on April 21, had registered more than two lakh hits in just five days. In fact, the bandwidth had to be increased following the “popularity” of the website, he said. The party had also received hundreds of online applications from people for enrolling as its members, he said.

PM’s statement

Meanwhile, taking exception to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s call to desist from politicising the misery of people with respect to price rise, the BJP on Saturday demanded that the Prime Minister should either take steps to check price rise or quit immediately.

Addressing a press conference in Bangalore, BJP spokespersons Mr. Shankaramurthy and Dhananjay Kumar and MLC Ganesh Karnik demanded that the Prime Minister should withdraw his statement. They alleged that the Prime Minister was indifferent to the problems of the poor and the middle class. They termed Dr. Manmohan Singh as the weakest Prime Minister.

Minority ticket

Replying to queries on party MP H.T. Sangliana expressing dissatisfaction over not giving ticket to adequate number of minorities, Mr. Shankaramurthy said the party leaders had spoken to the former police officer-turned politician and pacified him. Mr. Dhananjay expressed confidence that Mr. Sangliana would campaign for the party candidates. However, referring to the demand for fielding more minority candidates in the coming polls, the BJP leaders said: “We do not believe in appeasement policy. We are for the development of all sections of the society.”

Poll tour

BJP National President Rajnath Singh will tour the State on April 30 and May 1 to campaign for the party. He will address election meetings in Virajpet, Hunsur, T. Narsipur, Kolar, Dasarahally, Hoskote, Turuvekere, Hassan, Bommanahalli and Mahadevapura. Similarly, the party’s former National President Venkaiah Naidu will also undertake campaigning in different constituencies of Bangalore on April 28 and 29.
