Bengaluru, Dec 27: A small-time politician in Karnataka has announced a bounty of Rs 1 crore to anyone who would chop off Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde's tongue for his controversial remarks against Indian constitution.

According to reports, the Rs 1-crore bounty was announced by former Kalaburagi zilla panchayat member Gurushant Pattedar on Tuesday. Giving reasons why he chose to make such a shocking announcement, Pattedar said that he announced the "bounty" because Hegde's comment had pained most of the Indians including Dalits, Muslims, backward classes and secular people.

"Opposing his (Hegde's) remarks, I'm announcing a bounty of Rs 1 crore for chopping off his tongue and bringing it (over)," Pattedar, who identified himself as a senior Dalit leader, said in Kalaburagi.

Pattedar, who is currently associated with the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), said he was announcing the "bounty" on his volition and not on behalf of the party.

"I'm ready to give the bounty amount to anyone who chops off Hegde's tongue and brings it in one month's time, by January 26," he added. He also accused Hegde of "denigrating" the Constitution.

The Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship had kicked up a controversy on Sunday when he said at an event in Kukanur town in Koppal district that people who "call themselves secular" were unaware of their parentage.

He said he was happy if people recalled their religion or caste with pride. "I feel happy because he (the person) knows about his blood, but I don't know what to call those who call themselves secular," the minister had said.

Hegde then said, "Those who, without knowing about their parental blood, call themselves secular, they don't have their own identity... They don't know about their parentage, but they are intellectuals."

Hegde also had threatened to change the Indian constitution.  “It will be changed in the days to come. We are here for that and that is why we have come," the five-time Lok Sabha MP from Karnataka said.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has initiated the process of recruiting 1,700 medical professionals, doctors, staff nurses and support staff to scale up its workforce to set up 30,000 COVID-19 care beds, an official said on Sunday.

According to the official, to establish and run 30,000 COVID care beds, 1,800 doctors and 3,600 nurses are required. A 10,100-bed facility was set up last week in the Bengaluru International Exhibition centre (BIEC) on Tumkur road.

The Health Department has calculated that one doctor per shift is needed for every 100 patients and one staff nurse for every 50 patients. Similarly, two supporting staff and three Group D employees are needed per shift for every 100 patients. Generally, a day is divided into three shifts of eight hours each.

According to the director of medical education, there are 25,000 nursing students who have completed GNM and BSc Nursing courses and are pursuing higher education.

Likewise, there are 3,231 medical, dental and Aayush interns, while MD and MS postgraduate students have been identified to be 1,613 in Bengaluru colleges.

"The department plans to actively utilise the services of interns and postgraduate students for the COVID Care Centre (CCC) operations," said the official.

Currently, there are 2,100 CCC beds operational under the civic body in Bengaluru with a pool of 503 doctors, 167 ayush doctors, 128 nursing and paramedical staff.

Earlier in May, the civic body also notified the recruitment of 380 microbiologists, technicians and data entry operators for six months. In June, the civic body again notified the recruitment of 637 doctors, nurses, technicians and group d employees to strengthen its fight against the pandemic.

Bengaluru has recently seen a spike in COVID-19 in Karnataka, accounting for 61% of all active cases in the state.

On Saturday, the city reported 1,533 new cases, taking its total tally to 16,862, of which 12,793 are active.

Karnataka recorded 2,798 more coronavirus cases and 70 more casualties on Saturday evening, raising the state's total cases to 36,216 and the death toll to 613.
