Mangaluru, Feb 26: The BJP will make a candidate who can give “mass leadership” as the president of the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat (ZP) for the next five years, said K. Prathap Simha Nayak, president of the Dakshina Kannada unit of the party.

pratapAddressing presspersons here on Thursday, Mr. Nayak said that the choice of the candidate for the post of panchayat president depends on the reservation to be announced by the government. “But the party would ensure that an able party member of the panchayat would be made president,” he said.

Mr. Nayak said that the party has made it to the elected body of the panchayat for the third time.

Though there was no “ruling party advantage factors” for the BJP this time, it had defeated the Congress, he said.

He said that the results of the elections to the zilla and taluk panchayats in the district were a caution to the Congress, which he said had failed to respond to the people.

Mr. Nayak alleged that the “appeasement policy”, misuse of power in the de-limitation of the constituencies and fixing reservations, filing false cases against people boomeranged on the Congress.

He said that District in-charge Minister B. Ramanath Rai had restricted himself as a “minister for Bantwal Assembly constituency” and not for the entire district.

To a question, he said that the party would continue to take up the Yettinahole project issue and fight against it.

He said that the BJP would give pro-people administration in the zilla and taluk panchayats where it has been elected.

Ganesh Karnik, MLC, and K. Monappa Bhandary, former MLC, were present.

Bengaluru, May 22: Police commissioner Bhaskar Rao on Friday said the next two Sundays will be ‘full curfew days’ and the city will be under complete lockdown between 7pm Saturday and 7am Monday.

Addressing the media, the top cop said all essential services will be excluded from the curfew. “People attending weddings and other ceremonies can travel. Those wanting to buy food products or medicines too can step out. However, like in lockdown 1.0, people found loitering unnecessarily will be punished,” he said.

According to Rao, city roads will be barricaded like how it was done during lockdown 1.0 and 2.0.

A senior police officer told TOI that during this period, vehicles could be seized under the Disaster Management Act-2005. “So, we request the public not to come out unnecessarily. If we find people roaming in vehicles, we shall seize the rides and owners will have to approach the court later to get them released,” he said.

The government has extended the lockdown till May 31, which includes two Sundays.
Earlier in the day, the state government allowed inter-state travel from Karnataka with the consent of the receiving state. Praveen Sood, Karnataka DG and IGP, said, “Inter-state pass is not required to go out of Karnataka as long as you have the consent of the receiving state. Due to the lockdown, migrant workers, pilgrims, tourists, students and other persons are stranded at different places. They would be allowed to move as usual.”
