Udupi, Feb 11: Former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa loves and cares people, but incumbent chief minister Siddaramaiah is arrogant and corrupt, who lacks ethics, according to BJP leader and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje.

Speaking to media persons here on Saturday, she alleged that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah can go to any extent for vote bank gimmicks. "He has no ethics. The Congress government has failed utterly to offer pro-people governance," she claimed.

The BJP leaders, including former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, will be stay in slums in different parts of the state. The problems of the slum dwellers will be brought to the notice of the state government, she added.

She ridiculed that Congress government has failed to provide basic infrastructure facilities to the people in slums. There are nearly 2,500 slums in state, she said.

Karandalaje said that she is the first MP to get Rs 316 crore sanctioned under Central Road Funds (CRF) - Rs 133 crore was earmarked for Udupi and Rs 183 crore for Chikkamagaluru district for the year 2017-18. Earlier, Udupi received Rs 182 crore and Chikkamagaluru received 44.5 crore under CRF in the year 2016-17, she said.

She said she has raised the issue with the Union Transport Minister Nithin Gadkari over the slow workson the proposed Malpe-Athradi-Theerthalli national highway.

Regarding the incomplete work of the national highway at Padubidri junction, the MP said that the land acquisition in the area is pending and the deputy commissioner has been directed to complete the formalities at the earliest.

On the BJP's preparedness for the upcoming Assembly election, the MP said that the BJP is working tirelessly to revamp in all possible ways to counter the Congress.

She said the party's leaders, who are popular among the masses, are considered for the party tickets to contest and the party has been strengthened right from the booth level.

Awareness will be created on the failure of the Congress-led government among the voters, she charged.

Coming down heavily on AICC President Rahul Gandhi's state tour, she said, "Rahul Gandhi has finally realised the worth of God in his life. He has started the campaign from the constituency in Karnataka, wherein the candidate Anand Singh has also served the jail term, much to the dismay of Congress leaders who always censure BJP leaders for serving the jail term."

She said BJP national president Amit Shah will be visit the temple town after taking part in various programmes scheduled in Dakshina Kannada on February 20.

Dubai, May 3: Over 150,000 Indians in the UAE, who wish to return home amid the coronavirus lockdown, have applied through the online registration process to the Indian missions here, according to media reports.

The Indian missions in the country last week opened online registration for the expatriates who wish to fly back home after getting stuck in the country amidst the lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

As of 6 pm on Saturday, we received more than 150,000 registrations, Consul General of India in Dubai Vipul told the Gulf News on Saturday.

A quarter of them want to return to their homeland after losing their jobs, he said.

According to a report in the Khaleej Times on Sunday, about 40 per cent of the applicants who have registered are blue-collared workers and 20 per cent are working professionals.

"Roughly 20 per cent have suffered job losses and about 55 per cent of the total applicants are from Kerala," Neeraj Aggarwal, Consul, Press, Information, Culture was quoted as saying in the report.

Aggarwal said that the figures would change as they are expecting registrations from workers from other states, including Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar.

About 10 per cent of the applicants are visit and tourist visa holders who got stranded here due to the ongoing lockdown in India.

India extended the ongoing lockdown by two weeks from May 4 to contain the spread of the coronavirus that has affected nearly 40,000 people in the country.

Aggarwal said that a small number of the applications constitute those from pregnant women and other medical cases.

Since the online registration process was launched, the Consulate's website crashed several times due to the heavy rush of applicants wishing to register to fly back home.

The site has been working fine now though it took a lot of time for it to stabilise in the initial phase due to the heavy traffic, the counsel general said.

He said that the missions here have not yet received any information from the Indian government about the mode of transport of the stranded citizens, the prices of the tickets or how the COVID-19 test results of applicants would be assessed for their journey.

There are high-level discussions going on regarding these things, he said in the report.

Meanwhile, Norka (The Non Resident Keralites Affairs) said it has received a total of 398,000 applications from Keralites across the globe who wish to return home.

"Of which, the highest numbers are from the UAE. At least 175,423 applicants have signed up from the UAE," Norka said in an official statement on Saturday.

It also received 54,305 registrations from Saudi Arabia, 2,437 from the UK, 2,255 from the US, and 1,958 from Ukraine from those who wish to return to India, the Khaleej Times reported.

The coronavirus has infected 13,599 people and claimed 119 lives in the UAE, the Ministry of Health and Prevention said on Saturday.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.
