After N-E, it's Karnataka's turn now to finish off Congress: PM Narendra Modi

New Delhi, Mar 4: The BJP feels the victories in the north-east, especially in Tripura, will boost its chances in Karnataka and the mood was echoed by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah on Saturday.

Speeches of Modi and Shah during the victory celebrations at BJP headquarters here, as well as press interaction by the BJP chief, showed that they have no qualms in linking it to the upcoming polls in Karnataka. The BJP expects that it could dethrone Siddaramaiah-led Congress government riding on the latest victory and bury the setback it received in Gujarat polls. The Tripura victory would give more ammunition to the BJP to target the ruling Congress in Karnataka. In the coming days, Modi and Shah are expected to spend more time in the state.

While Modi said by June the Congress rule would be restricted to Puducherry, Shah too expressed confidence in a BJP victory in Karnataka. "I said in Puducherry earlier that the Congress is finished in North East. Now, it is the turn of Karnataka (to finish Congress in the state). I said in Punjab, the Congress chief minister does not listen to leaders in Delhi and vice versa," Modi told party workers.

The first to fire was Shah who said the "historic" results in Tripura was a signal to the Karnataka polls as well as the Lok Sabha elections. He also put Karnataka among those targets before he can say that his party has entered the golden era.

"We will definitely win Karnataka. We are confident. But, I will not say that we have entered the golden period of the party till we win Odisha, Kerala and West Bengal," Shah, who was received by a cheering crowd at the newly-built party headquarters, told a press conference in the afternoon.

Later in the evening, the salvo Shah told the crowd at the party office, "under the leadership of Narendra Modi, our 'digvijay rath' has now won the North-East and it will now enter Karnataka. The mandate is against the Congress and it has been thrown out from North-East."

Modi also focussed on Karnataka during his speech for some time as well as setting the tone for the cadres by repeatedly referred to violence against party workers in Karnataka and other states. He said the sacrifices of these workers who were murdered will not go in vain and public will vote BJP to power in Karnataka and elsewhere.

Only EVM can save BJP in Karnataka.. #BanEVM

This is what Narakendra modi is calling Development.. not the real change in people's life!

What is Achee Dinn........running election campaigns??? Show me the work on the ground Mr. Chowkidaar!!! Life of middle and lower class has gone to the dogs in the country. Despite winning state after state your party is still the biggest loser in the history of Indian politics.

BJP won Tripura to divert attention from Nirav Modi scam.... Winning Karnataka is the next diversionary tactic.

Yes, we are fed up with Muslim Goondas of Conning-ress persecuting hindhus

Good day light dream

Since he has become the PM, his only job has been elections and nothing else. No work on the ground except for some slogans and destruction of middle class.

By God you will face the consequence in this Earth.

Partially blind, school dropout cracks Karnataka Administrative Services

News Network

January 1,2020

Kalaburagi, Jan 1: Fighting penury and partial blindness in one eye, a 39-year-old part-time Kannada lecturer from Kalaburagi district is set to become a commercial tax officer after cracking the Karnataka Administrative Services.

Ambadas Kamble, from Kotana Hipparaga village in Aland taluk, had to take a three-year gap during his school and college years - one-year break after completing Class VII and two years to clear subjects after he failed in II PU examinations. During those three years, he joined his brothers in masonry work to supplement the family's income.

Sweeping aside all hurdles with grit and determination, Ambadas studied Kannada literature for both undergraduate and postgraduate to land the post of a part-time lecturer in a Kalaburagi college. His father died when he was a child, and mother Chandamma supported her family of six - besides, Ambadas, she has two sons and two daughters - by working in houses in the neighbourhood.

Ambadas said he would like to dedicate his success to his mother, who died in the year 2012. "My mother encouraged me to chase my dream - financial difficulties notwithstanding - and allowed me to spend time in the library when my siblings were busy doing menial jobs to fund my education. I'm grateful to my brothers too," he said.

His two brothers are working as masons in Mumbai, having quit studies midway and deciding to support Ambadas - the first in the family to complete graduation. He did high school at Tadkal village in Aland taluk, and college in Kalaburagi.

The lecturer, who's 40% blind in the right eye, cracked the KAS examinations in his third attempt and stood 706th in the state. He has been selected for first-grade officer's post. Alongside, he's doing PhD in Kannada literature.

When his efforts finally paid off, Ambadas landed four job offers: Hostel warden at Morarji Desai hostel, at an SC/ST hostel, post of a lecturer and the tax officer's post. He picked the fourth to serve the state in right earnest.
