Amit Shah warns Karnataka BJP against factional feuds, exhorts to tackle Cong

Bengaluru, Aug 13: BJP National president Amit Shah on Saturday issued a stern warning against factional feuds within the state unit and directed partymen to focus on tackling the ruling Congress on charges of corruption and caste polarisation ommunities in the run up to the assembly election next year.

Shah, who arrived in Bengaluru in the morning on a three-day visit to galvanise the state unit for the polls, cracked the whip on the warring factions and told them to be loyal to the party.

“The party will not tolerate any kind of indiscipline. All the functionaries should toe the party line and should work as one family,” he told the state core committee members comprising senior state unit leaders, including state president B S Yeddyurappa and his bete noire K S Eshwarappa.

Shah refused to entertain backbiting. Eshwarappa’s camp followers had planned to complain against Yeddyurappa’s style of functioning.

‘Don’t worry’

When some state office-bearers sought to know the steps taken to end the feud, Shah said: “We will take care of it, don’t worry. Focus on strengthening the party at booth level.”

He is said to have expressed his strong displeasure at the state leadership for not effectively taking on the state government on corruption.

He was obviously targeting the state BJP for not effectively putting the government on the mat during the Income Tax raids on Energy minister D K Shivakumar recently.

Mangaluru, Mar 31: With the Dakshina Kannada district administration relaxing the lockdown from 6 am to 3 pm to purchase essential commodities, panic-stricken citizens rushed to the shops early in the morning itself.

The citizens had formed a serpentine line in front of shops and supermarkets in different parts of Mangaluru and on the outskirts of the city to purchase their requirements.

As a precautionary measure, many were seen wearing masks.

“In spite of waiting in a long queue to purchase, we are not able to get the required essential commodities. Why can’t the district administration ensure enough stock of commodities in the shops and supermarkets,’’ asked a customer who had stood in a queue outside a supermarket at Chilimbi.
People were seen crowding outside markets at Kankanady, Mallikatte, Urwa and Central Market, violating the purpose of social distancing.

Consequently, vegetable prices have increased in the markets and shops. This is despite abundant stocks being available in these markets.

Trucks had unloaded the vegetables at Central Market on Sunday, according to sources. The prices of onions are skyrocketing yet again and is sold from Rs 50 to Rs 55 while a kg of carrot costs Rs 100.

"Why can’t the authorities check the rise in the price of vegetables and ensure that the poor are not inconvenienced," asks Lakshmi, a housewife.
