Mangaluru, Jun 13: Known for criticizing his own party leaders in recent years, former union minister B Janrdhana Poojary on Tuesday indirectly backed the BJP’s agitation against Mangaluru North MLA B Mohiuddin Bava, whose recent birthday gift to schoolkids sparked a political row.Untitled-1 copy

Mr Bava had recently celebrated his birthday by freely distributing 3.08 lakh note books to students from class 1 to PU in his constituency by spending Rs 52.36 lakh from his pocket. The front cover of the notebook says it is a gift from Mr Bava. The inside pages have photographs of the MLA’s visit to different schools and his interaction with students.

The BJP has objected to this birthday gift to kids alleging that it amounted to Mr. Bava “misusing his authority as a legislator to meet his political ends” as the books carry photo of Mr Bava.

When media persons sought his opinion on the row during a press conference, Mr Poojary said that though he was not against book distribution, he was not ready to endorse Mr Bava’s decision to print the latter’s photo on the cover page of the books.

“Only a person, who believes that he is an unknown entity in his constituency, will do it. I too had distributed books, but without printing my picture. It seems that Mr Bava is trying to introduce himself to the people of his constituency. It means that he is an unknown entity in his constituency and people do not know him,” Mr Poojary said in one breath.

Mangaluru, Mar 9: Deputy Commissioner Dakshina Kannada, Sindhu B Rupesh on Monday refuted reports that a passenger who arrived in Mangaluru from Dubai showed coronavirus symptoms had skipped a hospital visit.

While replying to reporters on the issue, Rupesh said: "Passenger who arrived from Dubai has not shown any coronavirus related symptoms. He just had a fever. He was shifted to district hospital last night, but he is not cooperating with us. He is not ready to stay in a hospital. We are convincing him".

"Till now, no positive case of coronavirus has been found in Mangaluru", she added.

Earlier, the Centre had suspended visas and e-visas granted on or before March 3 to people travelling from Italy, Iran, South Korea, and Japan, effective immediately, after a surge in cases of COVID-19 in these countries.

The coronavirus has affected 43 people in India so far and caused the deaths of over 3,800 people globally.
