Hubballi, DHNS: The BJP’s state president, B S?Yeddyurappa, has demanded a “serious” discussion on farmers’ problems in the winter session of the legislature that begins in Belagavi on Monday.

Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, he said Karnataka was facing a severe drought and asked the Congress government to take steps to waive farm loans given by co-operative banks. He said the BJP-led Union government would come to the rescue of Karnataka but Chief Minister Siddaramaiah “should stop looking to the Centre for everything”.

Yeddyurappa claimed that the administrative machinery in the state had “collapsed” and that the government had gone “bankrupt”. “The chief minister is not responding to the problems of common people,” he suggested. He said he was “confident” that the BJP would form the next government by winning 120 seats of the Legislative Assembly in the 2018 elections.

Reiterating the BJP’s stand that the prime minister’s intervention was “not enough” to solve the inter-state dispute on the Mahadayi River, he said that the Opposition in Maharashtra and Goa must also be taken onboard.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi and the party’s leader in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge have a role to play in Mahadayi talks, Yeddyurappa said. He said the Mahadayi issue would be raised in the Belagavi session.

Yeddyurappa declined to comment on his bitter political rival H D Kumaraswamy’s decision to move into a house in Hubballi and stay there for 12 days every month. “Moving into a house is not enough; he should win over the public,” he said.

BJP parliamentarian Shobha Karandlaje said Congress leaders were “worried” about demonetisation and were trying to legalise their black money by using Stree Shakti and other self-help groups.
