Chamundeshwari: HDK, CM up the campaign ante

DHNS
April 17, 2018

While JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy concluded his three-day election campaign in the Chamundeshwari Assembly segment on Monday, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah commenced his third round of canvassing in the constituency.

Chamundeshwari is considered as a high-profile segment as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah himself is the Congress candidate. Siddaramaiah is back in the segment after a gap of 12 years. It may be mentioned that during his first and second round of campaign, Siddaramaiah had to face embarrassment as a few of his supporters were denied support.

Kumaraswamy, during his three-day campaign in favour of JD(S) candidate G T Devegowda, took out roadshows along with Devegowda in a specially designed bus in nearly 70 villages across the constituency from Saturday. On day three, he visited nearly 20 villages.

Though the third-day campaign was scheduled to commence at 7.30 am, the event started at 11 am from Hootagalli. The roadshow passed through Belavadi, Koorgalli and Maidanahalli. The JD(S) leaders received a warm welcome in all the villages.

When the vehicle reached Koorgalli, a few women performed ‘aarathi’ to Kumaraswamy and wished him to become the next chief minister. They requested him to solve farmers’ issues.

Kumaraswamy said, “I don’t have the capacity to conduct elections with money power. My health condition is also not good. Siddaramaiah is luring the voters in the name of caste and with money power. The people, who have faith in democracy, will support the JD(S). People’s love and blessings is my strength”.

Speaking to reporters, Kumaraswamy said, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi has extended support to the JD(S) in Karnataka. The support of AIMIM, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) to the JD(S) will definitely help the JD(S) to secure 113 seats. The parties want the regional party to come to power in the state and thus they have come under an alliance, he said.

“The Congress party is emotionally cheating Muslims. The Congress has failed to protect them and also in providing necessary facilities. But, the JD(S) has treated them as their brothers and thus Owaisi has extended his support,” he said.

CM campaigns

Similarly, Siddaramaiah, who arrived in a special flight to Mysuru on Monday morning, visited Siddappaji temple, Ramamandira and Manteswamy temple in Lingambudi Palya. The party supporters welcomed him by bursting crackers and with garlands. The supporters also donated a sword to the CM.

The CM will camp in the Chamundeshwari Assembly segment for five days from Monday. On day one, he took out roadshows at 18 villages. He visited several temples at the villages and also visited a few houses.

PWD Minister H C Mahadevappa accompanied the CM during the campaign.

Siddaramaiah participated in a conference organised for Bhovi community people. During his address, the CM said, after 2006, I am returning to the constituency. I will file my nomination on April 20, he said.

The CM said the JD(S) leaders have been claiming that the party is secular, but they have joined hands with communal parties. “What moral right do they have to claim themselves as secular,” he asked.

As usual, Kumaraswamy tried to sack people by being emotional.. Shameless guy.. If you are telling about health issues, why you are sticking in poltics.. nobody forced you to be  active in politics.

Hubballi, Mar 25: The people living in rural areas of North-Karnataka region have become more aware about deadly Corona virus as they are leaving no stone unturned to prevent people of Bengaluru and other metropolitan cities from entering into their villages. People have put thorny plants on all roads at the outskirts connecting their villages and deployed youths to conduct patrolling round the clock till next 21 days.

"We don't have access to the proper medical care if Corona virus is entered into our village. The Primary Health Centres are not functioning properly and these centers are facing lack of adequate staff and medical equipments unlike in big cities.Therefore, those who have deserted our village to employ in various jobs in Bengaluru and other cities should confirm that they are tested negative for the virus", said Mallikarjun Patil of Kudal village in Hangal taluk of Haveri district. The village has totally banned the outsiders into their village and warned their fellow villagers to return immediately if they have visited to their relatives' homes in neighboring villages to observe 21-day lockdown.

Hundreds of youths in Itanal village of Chikkodi taluk of Belagavi have also resorted to similar tactics and patrolling in all roads at the outskirts by holding sticks to prevent outsiders from entering into their village until April 14.

People of Hunagunti village in Ron taluk and Kotamuchagi village in Gadag taluk have also adopted similar plan by parking tractors at th outskirts to prohibit the entry of outsiders. They have also created awareness in their villages by beating drums urging the people not to venture outside village for next three weeks.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.
