With 3 MLAs in hand Gowda confident of berth for JD(S) in new Kerala govt

May 20, 2016

Bengaluru, May 20: JD(S) leader H D Deve Gowda on Thursday said that his party was assured of a Cabinet berth in the to-be-formed LDF government in Kerala.

Gowda JD(S) had fielded 5 candidates in the Kerala Assembly elections, of which three — C K Nanu (Vadakara), Krishnan Kutty (Chittur) and Mathew T Thomas (Thiruvalla) — have emerged victorious. The JD(S) had contested as part of the Left Democratic Front (LDF).

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Gowda, expressing happiness over his party's performance, said that whenever the LDF came to power, it had always given a ministerial post to a JD(S) legislator.

“Irrespective of the number of seats won by the JD(S), the LDF has always accommodated us in the Cabinet. Like the previous term, this time too JD(S) has been assured of a Cabinet berth. There is no need to lobby for it,” he said in response to a question. Taking a dig at the Congress, Gowda said that the national party had lost its stronghold in a majority of the states which it had ruled in for over a long time.

“The presence of Congress has dramatically dwindled over the last few years. After Rajasthan and Delhi, the party has now lost its base in Assam and Kerala. As a result, there is no other party to give BJP a competition, except for the regional parties of the states. Except for Assam, only regional parties have emerged victorious in 4 other states in the results announced today. This is the people's mandate,” he added.

Gowda also congratulated AIADMK leader J Jayalalithaa and the TMC chief Mamata Banerjee for leading their parties to landslide victories.

He has also written congratulatory letters to the duo.

Frontline warrior Dr Shaukat Ali dies of COVID-19 after hospitals refuse admission

June 9,2020

Mumbai, June 9: A 45-year-old doctor posted in the 108 ambulance service at Malad railway station in Mumbai died of COVID-19 after two hospitals refused admission, in spite of the fact that he was a frontline warrior against coronavirus.

The victim is Dr Shaukat Ali, who was working with the 108 ambulance service for the last four years. A few days ago, he got his blood tests done after his health deteriorated. The result stated typhoid fever following which he started getting treatment at home in Malwani.

Ali's family ran from pillar to post to get him hospitalised in either a private or government hospital, to no avail.

"On Friday, his condition worsened and he started feeling breathless. Despite us calling the 108 ambulance service, no one picked up the call. So after waiting for a while, I and uncle's colleague, Dr Nigam, rushed him to SK Patil hospital in Malad East in an auto. But they refused us stating they were admitting only COVID-19 patients.”

“Then we took him to Desai Hospital, where doctors were initially ready to admit him but later refused stating lack of beds. They said we could take him home as his condition was fine," Zubair Shaikh, Ali's nephew said.

"But his condition worsened. So, I called Dr Nigam and we managed to admit him in Shatabdi hospital. On Sunday, when his results came out stating that he had COVID-19, doctors had already put him on a ventilator, where he passed away in the evening," he added.

Zubair further said, "Had the doctors at Desai Memorial Hospital admitted him, my uncle would have been alive today. It is a matter of great regret that a doctor, who was risking his life during this pandemic, could not get help from his own government hospitals."

Ali's wife and his two children's are in UP, while he was staying with his elder daughter who had recently appeared for HSC exams and preparing for NEET.
