Mangaluru, Jan 1: Nalin Kumar Kateel, a senior BJP leader and Member of Parliament from Dakshina Kannada, on Sunday welcomed the New Year by threatening to arson his own constituency after accusing the police of inefficiency.

The hardline Hindutva leader was speaking at a protest meet organised by the Hindu Hitharakshana Vedike in front of the Konaje police station in Mangaluru taluk after a silent march from nearby Pajir town demanding the arrest of the accused in the murder case of Karthik Raj, a local youth who was hacked to death by unidentified miscreants near Konaje on October 22.

“We are giving you (police) 10 days to arrest the culprits behind the murder. If you can't arrest them, then we are capable of setting Dakshina Kannada district ablaze without delay. Yes we can do that,” said an angry Kateel.

In his controversial speech, the MP not only threatened to arson Dakshina Kannada district but claimed that the “terrorists from Kerala” would come here and arson the district! He then questioned whether the police, who were not seen during the protest march, had gone to arson (the district)?

The MP also held local congress MLA U T Khader, who is also the minister for food and civil supplies, responsible for the rampant criminal activities in Ullal-Konaje region. Ironically, he then held “terrorists from Kerala” responsible for the same!

Mr Kateel, then all of a sudden turned secular and said that Muslims, Hindus and Christians are not responsible for the criminal activities in Dakshina Kannada district. “Terrorism of Kerala is behind all these. Terror activities from Kerala have spread to this district through its border town Ullal. If you close your eyes, terrorists of Kerala will burn down the district,” he said.

BJP Mangaluru Assembly unit president Santosh Kumar Boliyar said that the constituency witnesses a greater number of untoward incidents as compared to other constituencies in the district. He warned that a dharna would be staged right outside the police station if the accused in the Kartik Raj murder case are not arrested within 10 days.

Hindu Jagarana Vedike Vittal taluk unit convener Ganaraj Bhat Kedila said that if one considers the horrific incidents taking place in Ullal, one would wonder if one is witnessing a part of India or Pakistan. Even though the police honestly probe into the case, the government is unnecessarily interfering, he added.

Former MLA K Jayaram?Shetty, BJP district executive committee member Rajesh Shetty Pajiruguttu, ZP member Dhanalakshmi Gatti and Pajir Gram Panchayat President Seetaram Shetty were present.

Jagattu kandantaha nicha MP. Irony of india is Dr.Zakir Naik who is trying to unite hindus and muslims is an anti nationalist and the persons gives hate speeches like Nalin Kateel is having place in our parliament.
We people of DK cannot blame Nalin kumar because he has the communal mindset since his childhood because he belongs to an organisation who teaches hate and divide people.
People of DK Should be ashamed for voting this cheap MP. Shame on Naleel Kumar.

Dont burn entire Dakshina Kannada district. Kalladka town also falls under DK. If that also burns then BJP may lose its master.

Finally Kateel spoke the truth. His ultimate aim is setting the district ablaze. I think he spoke truth because of last night's new year party.

Bengaluru, Jul 19: Three legislators of the opposition Congress in Karnataka, including 2 MLAs and 1 MLC tested positive for coronavirus and are under treatment, a party official said on Saturday.

"Our Bailhongal MLA Mahantesh Koujalgi in Belagavi district and Humnabad MLA Rajashekhar Patil and his MLC brother Chandrashekhar Patil in Bidar district tested positive for the infection and are under treatment at designated hospitals," party spokesman Ravi Gowda told media persons in Bangaluru.

Koujalgi's swab sample was taken on Friday after he showed signs of illness and its result turned positive earlier in the day.

"As Koujalgi attended a review meeting at Bailhongal, about 20 officials who participated in the meeting have been home quarantined," said Gowda.

Koujalgi is the second lawmaker in the state's northwest region to test positive after BJP's Belagavi North assembly segment MLA Anik Benake tested positive for the virus on July 15.

"Patil brothers were in self quarantine after meeting BJP's Bidar Lok Sabha member Bhagwanth Khuba, who tested positive on Wednesday. Their tests also showed they were infected with the virus," Gowda said.

Congress MLC Sandesh Nagaraj, who tested positive on Friday, is under treatment at a private hospital in Mysuru.

Dakshina Kannada district Youth Congress president Mithun Rai is in institutional quarantine in Bengaluru after he tested positive for the infection.

Mangaluru, Mar 31: With the Dakshina Kannada district administration relaxing the lockdown from 6 am to 3 pm to purchase essential commodities, panic-stricken citizens rushed to the shops early in the morning itself.

The citizens had formed a serpentine line in front of shops and supermarkets in different parts of Mangaluru and on the outskirts of the city to purchase their requirements.

As a precautionary measure, many were seen wearing masks.

“In spite of waiting in a long queue to purchase, we are not able to get the required essential commodities. Why can’t the district administration ensure enough stock of commodities in the shops and supermarkets,’’ asked a customer who had stood in a queue outside a supermarket at Chilimbi.
People were seen crowding outside markets at Kankanady, Mallikatte, Urwa and Central Market, violating the purpose of social distancing.

Consequently, vegetable prices have increased in the markets and shops. This is despite abundant stocks being available in these markets.

Trucks had unloaded the vegetables at Central Market on Sunday, according to sources. The prices of onions are skyrocketing yet again and is sold from Rs 50 to Rs 55 while a kg of carrot costs Rs 100.

"Why can’t the authorities check the rise in the price of vegetables and ensure that the poor are not inconvenienced," asks Lakshmi, a housewife.
