He was talking at a rally organised by Kuruba organisations in search of ST tag in Bagalkot on Sunday. Saying that the State authorities needed to ship a proposal to the Centre, he urged the Centre to approve the proposal as quickly as doable. He mentioned the community would maintain a big rally in Bengaluru and submit a memorandum to the federal government on February 7.
Siddaramanandapuri Swami of Tinthani Mutt raised the problem of delay in giving Cabinet berths to legislators from the Kuruba community who had defected to the BJP from the Congress and the JD(S). He mentioned the BJP had come to energy in Karnataka due to the sacrifice made by leaders of the Kuruba community, however leaders of different communities had been reaping the advantages. “The Yediyurappa government is acting like it is focused only on one community. That is unfortunate. Every community should be treated equally,” he mentioned.
N. Nagaraj (MTB), MLC, mentioned Mr. Yediyurappa had assured them that they might be inducted into the Cabinet very quickly. “We believe him. We will wait and see,” he mentioned. He denied that the assembly of defectors held in Bengaluru just lately was towards any chief.
Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister K.S. Eshwarappa mentioned the rally was not political. “I believe that Kurubas are Hindus and they should stay Hindus. That is why I am here,” he mentioned. He mentioned this was a rally for individuals from the Belagavi income division. “We will hold rallies in other divisions too.”
He informed journalists that he had invited Congress chief Siddaramaiah to attend the Bagalkot rally. “I must have called him 10 times. Each time he says he will come, but he does not. What can I do? Can I drag him to the rally?” he requested. He denied claims that he was organising the rallies to try to promote his son K.E. Kantesh as a frontrunner of the Kuruba community. “These are lies. Don’t believe them. I don’t use my community for political reasons.”
