Tiranga Yatra in Mysuru on May 16
To mark the success of Operation Sindoor and pay tributes to the courage of the armed forces Tiranga Yatra will be held in Mysuru on May 16.
This was stated by Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar and other BJP leaders, here on Wednesday.
The Tiranga Yatra is being held across the country and the BJP has stated that it is a non-party national event to pay tribute to the brave soldiers of the country.
Mr. Yaduveer said if people of India are able to sleep in peace it was due to the constant vigil maintained by the defense forces along the borders. The Tiranga Yatra is a non-political event and people in large numbers should take part in it, he added.
The MP said terrorism was a scourge and the world had recognised it as an evil, and India had demonstrated that it was not an attack on the civilians but on the terrorists. There was an outrage after what happened in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, and people were confident that the India government and armed forces will deal with the issue effectively, said Mr. Yaduveer Wadiyar.
He said Tiranga Yatra is to express the nation's indebtedness to the soldiers for securing justice for the victims of terror attack. 'Though one cannot bring the dead back to life, Operation Sindoor has served the cause of justice as more than 100 terrorists were killed by the armed forces,' he added.
L. Nagendra, president, city unit of the BJP, said Tiranga Yatra will commence at 10 a.m. from Field Marshal K.M. Cariyappa Statue on the JLB Road. Ex-servicemen, students, NGOs, religious leaders of all communities, students, members of various women's group etc., will take part in it.

Mizoram BJP chief slams govt for ‘misutilisation' of central funds
1 2 Aizawl: Mizoram BJP unit president Vanlalhmuaka on Monday slammed the state govt for not judiciously utilising the funds allocated for implementation of central schemes, resulting in underutilisation of central funds meant for the uplift of marginal sections of the society in the state. Addressing party workers at 'Mipui Run' or Atal Bhavan (BJP office) in Aizawl, Vanlalhmuaka said while some people in Mizoram benefited from the central schemes launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's govt, there are a number of people who have not received full benefits of the schemes due to misutilisation of funds. Making special mention to 'Housing for All', he said a large number of people could not complete the construction of their homes despite receiving funds under the scheme. According to the records maintained by the state rural development & administration (RD&A) department, 25,011 beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY-G) or 'housing for all' out of 29,966 selected families in Mizoram have completed the construction of their homes which is 83.46% as of May 20. RD&A officials said the PMAY-G was launched during 2016-2017 when the fund was released in four instalments and after 2020 the fund was released in three instalments. They said the central govt has given a green signal to continue the PMAY-G til 2028-29 for which 54,588 families have been selected as beneficiaries while it is yet to be known when the fund will be given to them.

Bengaluru stampede: HD Kumaraswamy calls Siddaramaiah ‘Stairs CM', slams him for putting blame on police
Bengaluru: Union minister HD Kumaraswamy trained his guns on chief minister Siddaramaiah , dubbing him the "Stairs CM" (equating to the stairs in front of the secretariat) for his statement that the stampede incident did not occur in front of Vidhana Soudha and was unrelated to him. Kumaraswamy took to X on Monday and questioned whether Siddaramaiah is the chief minister of Karnataka or only for the Vidhana Soudha stairs. He asked how fair it was to wash his hands clean by skirting the blame entirely on police and why there was a desperate ploy to distract by targeting the opposition. Meanwhile, the KPCC criticised the social media campaign in support of the suspended Bengaluru city police commissioner B Dayananda. KPCC spokesperson Ramesh Babu said no one from Dayananda's community requested the CM to appoint him as the commissioner. It was the CM's call as part of his social commitment to taking all the communities together. "The opinion emerging after the suspensions is BJP-driven," he alleged. He questioned BJP for not appointing Dayananda as the commissioner during its tenure though he was eligible for the post. "BJP is playing politics in the name of caste," he claimed.
