BS Yediyurappa's helicopter forced to abort landing in Kalaburgi

The helicopter carrying the former chief minister of Karnataka and senior leader, BS Yediyurappa, encountered a challenging situation during its attempted landing due to the presence of plastic sheets and waste strewn around the helipad area. As a result, the landing had to be aborted at the last moment to ensure the safety of all on board. The helicopter later made a safe landing after cops cleared the ground. BJP is pampering veteran leader in the desperation to hold on to 16.5 per cent Lingayat votes base in the state. This caste group which sometime agitates for separate religious identity, remains the magical pathways for BJP to retain power in Karnataka. Though the current Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai also hails from this community, Yediyurappa remains the major pull for it.
