BJP to promotes Hindu unity; aims at reaching out to Dalits ahead of polls

March 5, 2016

New Delhi, Mar 5: Reeling from the fallout of the suicide of Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula and blowback from rural India because of two years of successive drought, the BJP has charted out a series of programmes to address these issues.

According to top sources in the party, at a meeting of party general secretaries held in Delhi and presided over by BJP president Amit Shah last week, it was decided that a week-long programme, commemorating Constitution framer Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar be held starting from April 14, his birth anniversary.

“There is a growing feeling that Dalits who had in the General Elections of 2014 voted in large numbers for the BJP are not likely to do so in the Uttar Pradesh elections of 2017, where we are seeing a resurgent Bahujan Samaja Party,” said a general secretary who was present at the meeting.

The programme would be about the RSS' concept of “samajik samarasta” or social harmony that had first been articulated in the 1980s by then sarsanghchalak, Balasaheb Deoras.

A booklet, prepared by the RSS, titled Sabhi Hindu Sahodar Hain (all Hindus are brothers and sisters) will also be distributed.

The booklet praises Dr. Ambedkar, and contains the lectures of the late Deoras and Golwalkar denouncing untouchability.

The second set of programmes will start on May 1, when the party intends to launch a series of seminars on the panchayati raj and how best to deal with the impression (after the agitation against the Land Ordinance) that the party was against farmers.

The Union Budget, and its rural focus will also be selling point at these seminars.

“The Uttar Pradesh polls are looming in 2017, and we need to begin work on the ground to counter all this propaganda against us,” said the general secretary.

U T Khader demands scientific probe into covid-19 deaths in Dakshina Kannada

Mangaluru, May 17: Former health minister U T Khader demanded that the authorities carry out a scientific analysis of the five deaths that occurred due to Covid-19 in Dakshina Kannada.

“The number of fatalities vis-à-vis the number of positive cases in the district is worrying, and the district administration and health department should not take the matter lightly. Lapses, if any, in dealing with the co-morbidity factors should be addressed, lest it become a major health challenge,” he warned.

Addressing reporters on Saturday, Khader, said only carrying out such types of analysis will help the health department combat the spread of the novel coronavirus in the future. “At present, the only data available with the health authorities here and in the state war room, is the number of people tested and number of positive cases,” Khader said.

“Any strategy to combat Covid-19 must be built around scientific analysis of causes of how the disease is spreading and to do so, concrete efforts must be made to find the source of the cluster at the First Neuro Hospital in Padil. A analysis of reasons that caused the deaths, will also come in handy for the authorities to prepare suitable advisories for the people, who in turn could take informed decisions,” Khader noted.

Mangaluru, Jan 19: ‘Ride For Rotary’ convoy of motor vehicles was flagged off from Hotel Ocean Pearl Inn at Bejai-Kapikad, Mangaluru on Sunday, 19th January, 2020 at 9.00 a.m. Rotary district governor Joseph Mathew flagged off the event along with Assistant Governors Sumith S. Rao, Geethanand Pai and Ritesh Baliga. The riders headed for Puttur after topping up their fuel tanks at Lady Hill Petrol Pump.

2019-20 Ride For Rotary includes 28 motorbikes and 5 cars. 38 Rotarians from 14 countries are participating, in this, the fourth edition of the event. They will traverse through Madikeri, Mysore, Wayanad, Ooty, Coimbatore, Munnar, Thekkady and Allepey before terminating at Kochi on 29th of January, 2020. The participating nationalities are India, Norway, Sweden, Canada, France, Germany, USA, UK, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Poland and Belgium. They belong to ages 21 to 78, with 78-year old Otto Rieve from Canada being the senior most enthusiast. Swiss national of Indian origin Raj Patholi and Mangalorean Abraham Zacharias are among the riders.

Mangalore was chosen as the starting point for the convoy route this year which will cover Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. On the eve of the event, the organizers hosted a gala dinner for the riders at Citi Beech, Bolar. The riders were given a glimpse of the traditional dance forms and were treated to some wonderful songs in Tulu and Kannada along with local coastal cuisine.

They were also given a glimpse of the major service projects undertaken in our district by Rotary, such as the Rotary Blood Bank on Wheels, the Physiotherapy Clinic at Wenlock Hospital, the Schools adopted by Rotary and the Ashrams and Villages that are being served by Rotary. The idea behind this is to see that riders carry these memories and think of helping Rotarians in India through their matching contributions for future service projects.
