Bengaluru, Sept 15: With an eye on bypolls and to keep 17 disqualified MLAs in good humour, the state government has generously doled out funds for assembly segments represented by the former legislators.

Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Saturday released Rs 26.5 crore for Hirekerur represented by disqualified MLA BC Patil to take up development works. This comes after several disqualified MLAs met Yediyurappa on Friday, expressing displeasure at being neglected by him and BJP leaders. They are miffed at BJP not extending any help in their legal fight to get the disqualification quashed by the Supreme Court. Last week, Yediyurappa had allocated Rs 11 crore each to Maski and Hosapete constituencies represented by disqualified MLAs Pratapgouda Patil and Anand Singh from Kalyana Karnataka Development Board funds.

Sources said the government has released funds to all 17 assembly segments ranging from Rs 10 crore to Rs 25 crore. “Both Maski and Hosapete were given funds after cancelling allocations to other segments made by the HDK government,” said a source. Those from Bengaluru got funds from the Nava Bengaluru scheme. According to a source, the government has released the highest amount for Hosakote constituency represented by MTB Nagaraj.

This is only an eye wash to make these people happy.  However, they should know that BJP cannot be trusted.  It will cheat and dump them in grave yard.   they did big blunder by trust bjp and got good lesson.   Hope they are not still sleepy and will open their eyes to know the truth.

Bengaluru, Apr 10: A Karnataka BJP MP's daughter who recovered from COVID-19 has said she did yoga and ''pranayama'' while in hospital quarantine and these were key to defeating the pandemic.

"I was there in the hospital for 14 days. I used to do Yoga and Pranayama. It helps a lot. Everyone should start doing it now," said Ashwini GS, daughter of Davangere MP GM Siddeshwara.

In a video message that went viral on Thursday, she said coronavirus was "not something to be feared and yoga, pranayama and a strong mental state are the key to defeat the pandemic."

Ms Ashwini tested positive for COVID-19 after she had returned from Guyana last month. She was admitted to the SS Hospital in Davangere where she was quarantined for 14 days.

"Throughout my stay in the hospital I did not have any symptom of coronavirus. I neither sneezed, nor coughed or had a running nose. There was no fever either," Ms Ashwini said.

However, she kept herself physically and mentally fit.

"Maintain social distancing, be aware of dos and don'ts and stay safe," the MP's daughter said.

The AYUSH Ministry's protocol has outlined measures to build a strong immune system and it included consuming warm water, practising yogasana, pranayama and meditation for 30 minutes every day.
