Political leaders without spines, says West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Facebook
The number of “so-called political leaders having no spines” is growing, a post on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Facebook profile said Saturday.
The post on the popular social networking site also urged the youth to stand up.
“Nowadays, I’m not surprised when I see growing numbers of so-called political leaders having no spines. In my opinion, it has become a potential area of doing research work on this aspect,” the post read.
The post said lack of ideals, courage and links with roots of common people had led to leaders becoming weak and afraid to fight for the cause of common people and reveal the truth.
“Let us dedicate ourselves for the common people. I appeal to the young generation to awake, fight, stand up and instil a spirit of mind without fear,” read the post which has received over 600 likes and 200 comments.
Of the comments, the one by Shubhashis Bhattacharya stands out: “It is the world of sycophants where spines don’t work. Dinesh Trivedi (former railway minister) had one perhaps, but you’ve chosen someone else. Have you ever checked the structure of your party? Where are the spines? And if you boast of your spine, where is the head?”

Sadananda Gowda to resign as Karnataka Chief Minister?: Decision at 6 pm - Live Updates
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) core group which met on Saturday in a bid to resolve the leadership crisis in Karnataka, has decided to replace Karnataka Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda with Lingayat leader Jagadish Shettar, the party sources said.
Addressing a press conference soon after the core group meet, BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said, “Sadananda Gowda will meet senior party leaders at 6:00 pm today. The final decision over the issue will be taken thereafter.”
Meanwhile, the party sources claimed that the party is set to change the Karnataka chief minister.
Karnataka crisis
The BJP in Karnataka is facing serious crisis with the former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa pressurizing the high command to replace Sadanand Gowda with Jagdish Shettar as chief minister.
A senior BJP leader from the state said, “A decision from the high command in this direction is likely to be conveyed within a week. We have apprised the party high command about the situation in Karnataka. Now it is upto the high command to take a decision.”
Sources said BJP President Nitin Gadkari has come around to the view that Shettar, a Yeddyurappa loyalist, should be the next chief minister.
The decision will have to be ratified by the BJP Parliamentary Board, the highest decision making body of the party, but most members are in agreement on the issue in view of the damage caused by constant threats from dissidents in the last four years.
Though the party had earlier indicated that the leadership change was expected to take place after the July 19 Presidential poll, the sources said this has been advanced by a few days in view of the Karnataka Assembly session commencing on July 16.
Leaders divided
Sources said BJP Parliamentary Party leader L K Advani is not very keen on choosing the third Chief Minister in this Assembly and feels the party should go for fresh elections.
Moreover, Advani is not inclined to have another nominee of Yeddyurappa as Chief Minister. Corruption charges against Yeddyurappa had dented the impact of Advani’s yatra against graft and blackmoney.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj and party general secretary Ananth Kumar are also not in agreement with making a Yeddyurappa loyalist the Chief Minister but they may not press the matter further.
Looking at past examples, Gadkari is likely to prevail over the Parliamentary board and have his way by making Shettar the Chief Minister, sources said. Other members of the Board support his view.
Sources said an announcement is expected on July 9-10. However, there is still no clarity on whether a Deputy Chief Minister would be appointed to placate the other factions.

Dada Pranab holding two more offices of profit: Sangma camp
New Delhi: Opposition nominee PA Sangma on Saturday sought the Election Commission’s intervention for a fresh probe into his objections against the candidature of UPA nominee Pranab Mukherjee, levelling new allegations that he was still holding two more offices of profit.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the Returning Officer’s dismissal of their complaint, a three-member delegation on behalf of Sangma met the Election Commission, which gave them time to present their written submission on their demand by Monday evening.
After the meeting, Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy claimed that Mukherjee continued to hold two more offices of profit – as Vice President of Birbhum Institute of Engineering and Technology and Chairman of Rabindra Bharti Society, which forms the Rabindra Bharti University.
He said the delegation met the Chief Election Commissioner VS Sampath and placed their concerns. The Constitution allows the EC to intervene in the conduct of elections. “Here the issue is of fraud. Let the EC decide on whether there is a fraud in the nomination process. Let the EC take the final decision,” Swamy said.
The delegation, which also included BJP leader and Sangma’s counsel Satya Pal Jain and his election agent Bhartruhari Mahtab, raked up the issue of Mukherjee’s signature on his letter of resignation from the Indian Statistical Institute and its acceptance.

Shock to TDP: Nani's Mulaqat with Jagan Mohan Reddy
In a major setback to the Telugu Desam party, it's MLA Kodali Nani is likely to shift his loyalties to YSR Congress chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy. He is now seeking permission from the Chanchalguda jail authorities to allow him to meet Jagan.
Nani had already sent feelers to the YSRC and expressed his wish to join the party in the near future. But, he wants to meet Jagan and discuss few issues before quitting his parent party. YSRC sources say, Jagan responded positively to the appeal of the MLA and agreed to meet him.
As per the rules, political campaign is strictly restricted in the jail premises. Due the same reason, BJP Presidential poll candidate PA Sangma wasn't allowed to meet Jagan in Chanchalguda. Will the jail officials permit Kodali Nani to meet Jagan is a million dollar question now.

Minister Helping Botsa In Murder Case?? - Lakshimpet
For attacking and killing of few dalits, one Botsa Vasudeva Naidu was taken into custody by the CID sleuths a couple of weeks back. This case got more popular nationwide as 'Lakshimpet Murders' incident.
Reports are saying that a top level minister in Kiran Kumar's cabinet is helping the accused Vasudeva Naidu to come out clean.
