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.

GowdaJD(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.

Media Release

Mangaluru, Jul 22: City based APD Foundation has mooted the idea of giving state recognition and compensation for ‘Covid Saviors’, namely healthcare workers and civic officials who die in the line of duty in the war against Coronavirus pandemic. This suggestion was formally proposed by Abdullah A. Rehman, Founder & CEO, APD Foundation in a letter addressed to Shri Narendra Modi, Hon’ble Prime Minster of India and Shri B. S. Yediyurappa, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka on July 22, 2020.

In the letter Mr. Rehman asserts that COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread devastation in the country and played havoc in the lives of the common man. In this scenario, the healthcare workers, such as doctors, nurses and paramedics along with civic officials have emerged as the saviors of the suffering humanity. They expose themselves to great personal risk while treating Covid patients. Many of them catch infection and a few of them have died. Such persons deserve to be recognized by the government for their supreme sacrifice.

Elaborating the rationale behind the proposal, the letter draws comparisons with practice of soldiers who die on the battlefield being glorified as ‘MARTYRS’. The slain soldiers are decorated posthumously with medals and titles of honour. Their families are provided with generous cash compensation so that the future of their widows, children and parents are safeguarded. They are provided with allotment of land, lucrative business opportunities like petrol pump / gas agency or reservation in government jobs for their spouse and children.

The letter suggests that healthcare workers and civic officials who succumb in the line of duty should also be similarly honoured. “Hence I propose that healthcare workers like doctors, nurses and paramedics who die while treating Covid patients should be recognized as ‘COVID SAVIORS’. Civic officials who are working for the cause should also be included in this scheme. Generous compensation should be paid to their families so that their future welfare is ensured as if they were alive,” Mr. Rehman has written.

The suggestion has been made in the wake of news reports that the Odhisha State Government has announced compensation of Rs. 50 lakhs and state honours for healthcare workers who die on Covid duty. Similarly the French government has announced a major increase in salary to its healthcare workers. In the same manner India too can provide optimum welfare to its health workers and set an example on the world stage.

“Though Covid pandemic is likely to be a temporary phenomenon, there is a need to recognize the service of those who are helping society to overcome this grave crisis. They inspire confidence in the hearts of the common people in the same manner as soldiers in uniform do. Hence I urge you to accept the suggestions made herein and announce the same at the earliest,” Mr. Rehman concludes in his letter.

Copies of the letter have also been sent to Shri Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP, Mangalore, Shri D. Vedavyas Kamath, MLA, Mangalore and Smt. Sindhu B. Rupesh, IAS, Deputy Commissioner, DK District for their information and follow up action.
