This looks majority of people have voted based on caste/sects. muslim candidates won in muslim majority area even candiadates are not deserved and similarly in other relegion dominated areas too. this needs to be eradicated and elect the honest people who really works for betterment of society in all fileds.
I assume this result definatly not based on the performance of the previous tenure or state/central government performance.
every voters are the decision makers for future India.

This results shows the way to Sorake to resign from his current ministry. Oscar fernandes to be dethroned from Congress central hicommand. Mr. Promod must come out of Sorake/Oscar combine and work independently. We know he is a loyal worker of the party. But as long as the two opportunists are in the party, congress popularity will decline to Zero. This is a ringing bell to all congress great and mini leaders of Udupi District.

SORAKEGE PORAKE

GOOD LESSON FOR SORAKE.... IF U DONT GIVE TICKET FOR MUSLIMS U WILL NEVER GET MUSLIM VOTE.

MUSLIM VOTERS ARE THE DECISION MAKERS

tight slap on the face of Sorake

THANKS FOR SUPPORTING BJP..... SPECIALLY SDPI AND OTHER CongRSS leaders...

BJP must appreciate Congress (Oscar,Sorake,Ramanath Rai ) for retain Both districts

JP Effect in Udupi Dist

In the two coastal districts, Bjp wil have the upper hand.......that is seen in every day life......

This is really same for us all congressmen, people are not voting for true face, BJP s worst ruling in india.,

congress did so much kithapathi still BJP won, this is the truth of True leadership.

BJP won, so exited will celebrate in bengaluru,

its total cheating vote counted, BJP government can do whatever they want until they are in power.

Congress take up JNU Student to defeat ZP election, but congress itself bites the dust.

BJP Jai Ho, Expected result.

Anti-CAA drama: Sedition case against Shaheen School challenged in SC

News Network

February 21,2020

New Delhi, Feb 21: A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the sedition case registered against a Karnataka school management for allegedly allowing students to stage an anti-CAA, anti-NRC drama that 'portrayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi in poor light'.

The petition seeks quashing of the FIR against the principal and other staff of the Shaheen School at Bidar who have been booked under sections 124-A (sedition) and 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups) of the Indian Penal Code.

In the petition filed on Thursday, social activist Yogita Bhayana has also sought an apex court direction for a proper mechanism to deal with alleged government misuse of the sedition law.

Section 124A of the IPC says that "whoever brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards... the Government shall be punished with imprisonment for life...".

Bhayana, in the plea, has sought a direction to the Centre and the Karnataka government "to quash the FIR registered in connection of seditious charges against the school management, teacher and a widowed parent of a student for staging a play criticizing CAA, NRC, and NPR."

The petition claimed the police "also questioned students, and videos and screenshots of CCTV footage showing them speaking to the students were shared widely on social media, prompting criticism."

It further quoted the school principal, alleging that "on one occasion, police in uniform questioned students, with no child welfare officials present".

The plea said that the "proceedings were violative of Article 21 (right to life and personal liberty) of the Constitution and abuse of process of law."

"Issue an order directing the Centre to constitute a committee to scrutinise complaints under 124-A IPC and adhere to judgments by the apex court before registering the FIR under the section 124-A IPC," the petition said.

The drama was staged on January 21 by students of fourth, fifth and sixth standard.

The sedition case was filed based on a complaint from social worker Neelesh Rakshyal on January 26.

The complainant has alleged that the school authorities "used" the students to perform a drama where they "abused" Modi in the context of the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens.

coastaldigest.com news network

February 2,2020

Mangaluru: The first-of-its kind Beach Zumba event organized by Veekshitha Arasa on January 26th at Panambur Beach, Mangaluru attracted huge crowd and entertained the masses. Thousands of people who visited the beach last Sunday evening witnessed and danced along with the talented Zumba instructors from Bengaluru and Mangaluru. The show lasted for almost two hours.

The programme was organized by Veekshitha Arasa in association with Panambur Beach Tourism with the cooperation of Panambur Police and sponsorship of AJ Hospital & Research Centre, APD Foundation and SS Arrangers & Caterers.

Panambur Beach Tourism CEO Yatish Baikampady, APD Foundation Trustee Abdullah Rehman and Santhosh Kumar from SS Arrangers and others flagged off the event by releasing saffron, white and green balloons (the colours of Indian tricolor) to mark the nation’s Republic Day. Panambur beach police officials too participated in the inauguration. Veekshitha Arasa’s husband Rohan Lobo, Veekshitha’s parents Bhaskar Arasa and Geetha B Arasa too joined in.

This was done with the message ‘Let the love for health and fitness fly high among the citizens much like the soaring spirit of patriotism’. Speaking on the occasion, Veekshitha said that it was her dream to conduct a Zumba event in the city. “This is my small attempt at promoting fitness among the citizens of Mangaluru. There should be more such events,” she said.

Meenal Dubey, Ashwitha Shetty, Vishal Rai, Aishwarya, Namratha Shekar, Shruthi Keerthiraj, Vinayak Acharya, Kavitha Manish and Urmi were some of the enthusiastic Zumba instructors who performed with Veekshitha.

RJ Nayana and Saravanan Govindaswamy compered the event.
