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.

Mr.Kateel, you have already degraded your personality. Please don't degrade educated, qualified, culture people of Dakshina Kannada who voted you in the name of Modi.
Please \ DK ka naam badnaam naa karo\".... you are people's representative. don't forget.

By the way when RTI activist Mr. Baliga was murdered by your own man , what happened to your Fire speech??? when a poor hindu was killed by your own 20 members in the middle of the road, that time what happened to your fire speech??"

Master blaster Nalianna, which part of the world you living in? you bull of the gate!!!!! Or greatest bafoon of the world?
RSS Goonda, Looter, Criminals, what you thaught about Gods own Country, they are Msllus not like you cheals!!!
Master ponkela do you have a good blood in yr vains do it stop them to enter your place then you Criminals see it.
Jsi hoo Prabakara bhstttta!!!!

The nation wants to know whether this Kateel's Dakshina Kannada is in Pakistan?

Hindus will definitely reply in appropriate manner,,,,for this hindu organisations have full support from the comunity of hindus,,,no doubt law and oder will take brunt from this,,,,police better take note of such issues or else it will turn ugly ,,,,,history is proof to this,,,,lets not joke about,,,,

Let police kill those individuals who want to burn entire district and kill hundreds of thousands of innocents.

i feel pitty for mangalorians to have MP like this.....Nice to see so called \Ayyappa vratadari \" also participated in terrorists program..."

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

Very good and very noble gesture, this kind of leader is very eminent for place like Dakshina Kannada.

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.

The summary of BJP leader's speech is like this: \Terrorist want to set Dakshina Kannada district ablaze. So let us not give them opportunity. Let us burn down the district ourselves\".."

Hahahaha. What a hilarious speech. Balakke benki hacchi aaa kade ee kade jump maadidre Jillege benki beelalla. Neeve suttu hogteera

If one goes through his speech carefully then he he can easily understand the mental condition of the speaker.

F****. Am feeling pity for the people of Dakshina Kannada who voted him to power.

Karnataka seeks Centre's permission for public transport in new lockdown guidelines

News Network

May 17,2020

Bengaluru, May 17: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Transport Minister Laxman Savadi on Sunday wrote to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari requesting to issue new lockdown guidelines including permission to operate public transport and said the lockdown has caused a financial loss of Rs 16,00 crore to all four Karnataka Transport Undertakings.

In view of these problems, the state Transport Minister requested Gadkari to permit the deployment of Non-AC buses on scheduled routes to ensure the adequacy of services.

The four State Transport Undertakings (STUs) in Karnataka which are providing bus-based public transport services within the state and to the neighbouring states are Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC), North Eastern Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NEKRTC) and Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC).

"KSRTC, NWKRTC and NEKRTC operate buses for mofussil services i.e. Interdistrict, intradistrict and interstate, whereas BMTC operates only in urban and suburban areas in the city of Bengaluru. The four STUs put together hold a fleet of about 24,900 buses including 1,520 air-conditioned buses and operate about 71.00 lakh km. per day and carries about 98.00 lakh passengers every single day," Savadi outlined in the letter.

The Minister said due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the lockdown that ensued have brought regular bus operations and functioning to a grinding halt.

"This has caused a devastating impact on the operations of all the four STUs due to the combination of lack of revenue and continuing fixed costs such as salaries and pensions to staff, payables against existing loans etc. It has been estimated that the lockdown has caused a financial loss of INR 1,600/- crore to these four STUs," he added.

Savadi said even after post-COVID lockdown, operations and revenues won't reach its previous demand& supply patterns in the next six to eight months due to reduced economic activity and users' perceived risk of contacting COVID in public transport.

In addition to that, "occupancy should be allowed up to seating capacity (without standees). This is essential to meet minimal demand," he said in the letter.

"The crew should wear facemask and hand gloves. The crew with health issues should not be deployed. The face masks should be made mandatory for all the passengers. Only asymptomatic persons should be allowed to travel in public transport. The Government of India may consider staggering working hours for various sectors to reduce peak hour traffic demand," the minister listed out these recommendations in the letter.

Savadi said that with social distancing norm of reduced seating capacity in public transport, it will not be possible to provide transport facility to all the daily passengers. This will create demand for more buses, which cannot be met.

"Restrictions on public transport will lead to passenger commute by overcrowding in smaller vehicles like cars, maxi cabs, goods tempos etc. which will adversely affect preventive measures," he added.

Therefore, Savadi requested Union Minister to look into the above matter and issue fresh guidelines to all the states / UT's.

Withdraw amendments to Land Reforms Act or face protest: Gowda to BSY

coastaldigest.com news network

July 28,2020

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.
