Mangaluru, Feb 23: The Billava leaders in coastal Karnataka have expressed shock over the Sangh Parivar’s opposition to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s participation in a harmony rally in Mangaluru this weekend.

20pinarayiWith Left parties and the organisations ideologically- affiliated to them welcoming Vijayan's scheduled visit to address a communal amity rally at Nehru Maidan on February 25, the Hindutva organizations have raised the anti-pitch by giving a call for a hartal on that day. The district BJP unit has declared support to the day long hartal.

Rakshit Suvarna, a leader of Billava’s Union, has slammed the saffron groups for trying to demonize Vijayan, the only CM from Billava community in the country.

“Vijayan hails from a backward class and he is a proud representative of Billavas and other backward classes. Hence, Billavas of coastal Karnataka are eager to welcome him. The saffron leaders’ opposition to his Mangaluru visit has exposed their true colour,” he said.

Recalling that Sangh Parivar had vehemently opposed reservations to backward classes in the past, he said that the saffron groups are using Billava youths for their selfish gains in coastal Karnataka. “Many Billava youths were killed and hundreds landed in jails because of the communal politics of the saffron groups,” he alleged.

Bengaluru, Apr 11:  Amid nationwide lockdown in the wake of COVID-19, former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday urged the state government to announce a relief package for farmers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday held a video conference with Chief Ministers.

Taking to Twitter, Kumaraswamy wrote, "As the lock down continues, what action plan does the government have to tackle the challenges of ensuring marketing channels for farm produce with timely transport and ensuring uninterrupted supply of essential groceries to towns and cities?"

He later asked the government to act "swiftly and effectively".

"On one hand we see farmers throwing their produce in despair and losing their livelihoods. On the other hand supplies to towns are depleting. This is threatening both lives and livelihoods. The government must act swiftly and effectively," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"I urge the state government to immediately announce relief package to farmers by way of direct benefit transfer mechanism and purchase all the agricultural produce so as to avoid farmer suicides," he added.

With 40 deaths and 1,035 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, India on Saturday witnessed a sharpest ever increase in coronavirus cases, taking the tally of the infected people in the country to 7,447, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
