Addressing party workers at the Nehru Maidan in Mangaluru, Mr Siddaramaiah cautioned youth in the coastal belt “to not fall prey to Hindutva and divisive agenda of the BJP.” He said the BJP has been trying to divide the society by projecting “Hindutva” in the forefront, particularly in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.

The Chief Minister said the Congress was observing the “Indira 100” programme to unite people as Integration Day.

Mr Parameshwara, said Saturday's programme was “intentionally organised in Mangaluru” to hit out at the brand of “communal politics” of the BJP. He said it was aimed at “reinstilling confidence among the party cadre ahead of the Assembly polls scheduled for April 2018.”

He said Mr. Siddaramaiah and the Congress had received an “overwhelming response” to its padayatra titledCongress nadige samarasyada kadege' from Ullal to Udupi ahead of the previous Assembly elections. “It paid rich dividends to the party to win over the BJP in the 2013 Assembly elections in the two districts,” he claimed.

Of the eight Assembly segments in Dakshina Kannada district, the Congress increased its tally to seven seats in the 2013 elections from four in 2008. In Udupi, the Congress was able to win three of five Assembly seats. It bagged only one seat in Udupi district in 2008.

However, interestingly, the recent zilla panchayat elections in both Dakshina Kannada and Udupi were bagged by the BJP.

Bengaluru, Jul 19: Senior JDS leader H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday advised the Karnataka government to utilise the services of private medical colleges in treating Covid-19 patients, by taking them into confidence, instead of threatening them with license cancellation for not complying with directives.

He also said a concentrated effort should be taken in the fight against coronavirus. "It was wrong for any hospital to deny treatment. It is also not correct on part of the government to threaten the private medical colleges with cancellation of their licence for that reason. It won't be of any help at this time of medical emergency.

Remember that MCI has the authority to cancel licenses, not government," Kumaraswamy tweeted. "Instead of showing fury on private medical colleges at such a time, concentrate on taking their service by taking them into confidence. Look into their needs. I urge for a concentrated fight against coronavirus," he added.

Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa had on Saturday convened a meeting with Private Medical College Hospitals regarding Covid management and directed them to provide 50 per cent of the beds as promised.

In another tweet, Kumaraswamy said the notice being put out by local administrations in front of coronavirus patient's house is leading to new age social discrimination and untouchability.

To ensure that infected patients and his family leads a respectable life, such a practice has to be dropped immediately. "..... instead health workers should be sent to their houses to educate and instill confidence in them," the former CM added.
