BJP will sweep DK, Udupi; gain two-thirds majority in Karnataka: Javadekar

Udupi, Jan 24: Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister for Human Resources Development, has predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would win all seats of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts and come to power in Karnataka with a two-thirds majority.

Addressing a meeting of the heads of various units of the BJP here on Tuesday, he said that the people were fed up with the four-and-a-half years rule of the Congress in the State. The Congress had got associated with corruption, hypocrisy and family. It was only the BJP which could give good governance in the State under the leadership of the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa.

He said, the BJP already had 19 States under its rule in the country. The only big State under the Congress was Karnataka. People were impressed by the leadership provided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country. It was Mr. Modi who had given an impetus to the economy of the country.

He said that during the Congress rule, the transfer of IAS and IPS officers had become routine. The latest was that of the transfer of the Superintendent of Police of Dakshina Kannada Sudheer Kumar Reddy C.H. and Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri Dasari from Hassan despite public demand to retain them.

He said that it was unusual to effect so many transfers especially when the elections were nearing.

The Congress had little to solve the problem of sand shortage. While sand was available at Rs. 3,000 per truckload during Mr. Yeddyurappa’s rule, it was now being sold at Rs. 18,000 per truckload.

He said that the Goa government and its Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had wanted to resolve the Mahadayi water dispute, but it was the intransigent attitude of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah that was responsible for the breakdown in talks. The Congress MLAs in Goa too were opposed to a resolution of the dispute.

He said, over 20 activists of the Sangh Parivar had been murdered during the last four-and-a-half years, but no action had been taken. The withdrawal of cases against the Social Democratic Party of India, the Popular Front of India and the Karnataka Forum for Dignity was the reason for the murders, he said.

Though silt had accumulated in the dams at Baje and Shiroor in Udupi district, the State government had done little or nothing to remove it. With the result, the farmers were affected by it. But the Congress, an “anti-farmer party,” was least bothered about it, Mr. Javadekar said.

Bengaluru, Jul 1: Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar on Wednesday played down reports about confusion regarding valuation of Second Pre- University and the Secondary School Leaving Certificate exam papers.

"Creating confusion has become a habit. There was confusion before the exam, during the exam and now confusion about the valuation of the exam papers," Kumar told reporters in Ramanagara when asked about the confusion over the valuation of answer sheets.

He had gone there to inspect a few centres where the SSLC or the 10th standard exams are underway.

The minister reminded people not to speak about the abilities of the students with contempt.

"Our students have toiled hard and are enthusiastically appearing for the examination. They are eligible for the marks they will score. So we should not speak about our children with disrespect," Kumar said.

The Education Minister said he had spoken to many leaders including former chief ministers Siddaramaiah and H D Kumaraswamy on conducting the examinations.

"Kumaraswamy had insisted on postponing the examination. I personally spoke to him and apprised him about the steps taken by us. I told him that we will work with more sincerity to ensure the safety of the children," Kumar said.

The SSLC exam was scheduled to take place from March 27 but due to the coronavirus-induced lockdown, it was postponed.

While the CBSE and a few other states either decided to give marks based on the students' performance in the previous examinations such as quarterly and half-yearly exams or gave general promotion to the students, Karnataka went ahead to hold the exam.

According to Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board officials, around 8.5 lakh students have enrolled this year for the SSLC examination.

The exams are being held at 2,879 exam centres across the state.

Prior to the SSLC examination, the last exam of the Second PUC was also conducted on June 18, which was also put on hold due to the lockdown.

Bengaluru, Jun 9: JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday filed his nomination as party's candidate for June 19 Rajya Sabha elections from Karnataka.

The former Prime Minister was accompanied by his sons former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and former Minister H D Revanna, state JD(S) chief H K Kumaraswamy and others, as he filed his papers at the office of Legislative Assembly Secretary M K Vishalakshi, who is the returning officer for the polls. JD(S) on Monday had announced that Gowda will be contesting the Rajya Sabha polls.

Announcing the decision, Kumaraswamy had said Gowda decided to contest following the request of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, several national leaders and party legislators, and it was not an easy task to "persuade" him to enter the Rajya Sabha.

The JD(S), which has 34 seats in the assembly, is not in a position to win a seat in Rajya Sabha on its own and will need support from the Congress with its surplus votes. A minimum of 45 votes are required for a candidate to win. If he wins, this will be the second Rajya Sabha entry for 87-year-old Gowda, the first time being in 1996 as the Prime Minister.

Gowda was defeated in Tumkur constituency by BJP's G S Basavaraj by over 13,000 votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. As joint candidate of the then ruling Congress-JDS coalition, Gowda had chosen to contest from Tumkur at the last minute after vacating Hassan-his home turf, to grandson Prajwal Revanna (a current MP).

Election is scheduled on June 19 to fill four Rajya Sabha seats from Karnataka, represented by Rajeev Gowda and BK Hariprasad of Congress, Prabhakar Kore of the BJP and D Kupendra Reddy of JD(S) that will fall vacant on June 25, with their retirement. Today is the last date for filing nominations. With BJP not fielding any candidate against Gowda, his election is likely to be unanimous.
