Eye on polls, BJP to hold Muslims' convention

Bengaluru, Sept 16: The state BJP is planning to hold a political convention of Muslims in the coming months ahead of the Assembly polls early next year.

Speaking after inducting several leaders from the Muslim community into the BJP here on Friday, party state president B S Yeddyrappa said the plan is to invite 25,000 Muslims from across the state to the convention.

He said Muslims were fed up with ‘vote back politics’ of the Congress and were turning towards the BJP.

 The overwhelming support the BJP got in the recent Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh was an indication in this direction, he said.

Union Ministers and BJP election in-charge for Karnataka Assembly polls, Prakash Javadekar and Piyush Goyal, will be in Bengaluru on Saturday to participate in a party meeting.

You can't. so you people won't win

Bengaluru, May 16: Health Minister B Sriramulu has sought the aid of Home department for curbing sex work in certain parts of the state - which continues unabated despite lockdown.

“It poses health risks to those involved. I request the department to ensure that the business is prohibited at such a time of crisis,” he stated in a letter to Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai.  

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of these workers, Sriramulu has asked both the Health department and the Karnataka State AIDS Prevention Society (KSAPS) to come up with a detailed report on rehabilitation of sex workers and transgenders.

The Health minister’s order was prompted by a letter by writer and activist Roopa Hassan. The writer, who was earlier member of a panel (led by actor-turned-politician Jayamala) on the study of issues faced by sex workers, had sought government’s intervention to stop condom distribution to registered sex workers and transgenders, as continuing work during pandemic was posing health risks to the community.
