Mangaluru: With support pouring in to save ‘Kambala’, the traditional sport of coastal belt of Karnataka, BJP State President B S Yedyurappa too has shown his solidarity with the Tuluvas and has hoped that even the High Court of Karnataka upholds the emotions of the people of Tulunadu.Addressing a news conference on Monday, BSY said that the sport which has a glorious history of over 1000 years must be allowed to survive.

With the hearing on Kambala slated to be held on January 30, BSY said that he hopes that verdict is favourable so that the people of the region are not forced to take to streets.
“The BJP is convinced that there is no tragedies or accidents caused due to this sport. It is also known that the ones owning the bovines go out of their way and beyond their capabilities to take care of the buffaloes. With all these highlights, the HC must allow the sport to continue,” he said.

Drift within BJP
Talking about the drift in the BJP house and the allegations against him that he functions in a dictatorial manner, the state President said that he has never made unilateral decision so far.
Speaking about Dakshina Kannada district, BSY said that with the law and order situation going from bad to worse in the district, the region is being identified as a sensitive pocket due to the series of attacks that are being reported here.
He said that during the upcoming polls in the state the BJP will specifically will go all guns blazing against the Congress government and police for their failures.
