Mangalore: At his regular and periodical press meet held in DKCC office, on the eve of new Year day 2014, the senior congress leader and potential candidate for MP elections from Mangalore B Jasnardana Poojaruy taunted former CM B S Yeddyurappa on his re joining the parent organization, BJP, when he had not done so in regard to 5 other elected KJP legislatures who were still in the new party but could tilt the BJP against JDS by having 46 MLAs to 40 MLAs to become the new leader of opposition in the State Assembly.

Poojary asked why Narendra Modi as organizing secretary of BJP re-inducted Yeddyurappa in to the BJP when he was talking about reeking corruption in Karnataka and wanted non-corrupt leaders only in BJP to fight out Loksabha elections in 2014a few months hence.

Praising Pejavar seer Vishvesha tirtha on his desission for the New Year, not to sit in any palanquin carried by human being like slaves, but only to use a Jeep to carry him on a seat, Poojary hoped that other Mathadhipaties like Shringeri, Odiyoor and others will follow the Udupi Seer’s example as golden and stay away from palanquin rides as Sannyasins.

Poojary gave a warm-hearted promise to all suffering Areca crop growers in the state and elsewhere by saying that congress Party would not ban areca nuts farming and trading in the state.

Congress leaders including Suresh Ballal, Mohammad Masood, Ibrahim Kodijal, Harikrishna Bantwal were also preset at the press meet, held on Dec.31, 2013..
