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.

Cong has less hope because of JDS.. JDS may score.. they are having some people

April 16,2020

Mangaluru, Apr 16: An old refrigerator has been turned into a "disinfection chamber" by researchers who are striving to come up with solutions to tackle the spread of coronavirus.

Dr Arun M Isloor, head of Chemistry Department, National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, along with research scholar Syed Ibrahim has come up with the device which can disinfect items kept inside it.

"We have named this as ZERO-COV," Dr Isloor said.

He says the device ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present on the surface of items.

"We can keep items like vegetables, currency notes, books or envelopes inside the chamber. Switching on the chamber for 15 minutes ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present in the surface of the items," Dr Isloor added.

Several MLAs at Bengaluru resort were emotionally pressurised to leave Cong: Patwari

News Network

March 13,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 13: Several ministers staying at the Bengaluru resort had been emotionally pressurised to leave the Congress party, said Congress leader Jitu Patwari on Thursday after he was rescued by party leader DK Shivakumar from getting arrested due to the scuffle that had broken out at Embassy Boulevard here.

"We had received information that one of the MLAs, Manoj Chaudhary, staying at the Boulevard wanted his father to bring him back home," Patwari told reporters.

He said, "We had accompanied Manoj's father to the resort but the moment we entered the restaurant at the resort, some miscreants took away Manoj to some other unknown place," Patwari told reporters.

"Meanwhile, we (Lakhan Singh and Jitu Patwari) were manhandled and taken to the police station," he added.

Patwari said that the police had started the process of arresting them but Shivakumar came to their rescue and stopped their arrest.

He further said, "The police manhandled us even though we tried to talk to them in a very calm manner."

"If the MLAs giving resignation was their decision then why is the BJP not allowing them to contact their families," the MP said.

He further said that Jyotiraditya Scindia would soon become a minister but "why are the other ministers being made scapegoats."

Earlier in the day, a Congress leader in Madhya Pradesh had said that if action on the assaulters of its two leaders is not taken then the matter will be taken to the court.
