As part of its campaign for upcoming Assembly elections, the Karnataka state unit of Bharatiya Janata Party will be organising a ‘Suraksha Yatra' in Coastal and Malnad regions from March 3 to 6.

The party leaders will take out padayatra from two places -- Kushalnagar in Kodagu district and Ankola in Uttara Kannada district. Both the yatras will culminate in a rally at Suratkal in Dakshina Kannada on March 6, which will be addressed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, party MP and state general secretary Shobha Karandlaje told reporters here on Wednesday.

She said there is an atmosphere of fear in the region following the recent communal tension. The yatra is aimed at instilling a sense of peace and security among both the Hindu and the Muslim communities. The yatra would not hurt the sentiments of any particular community, neither would it provoke communalism, she added.

While Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda is scheduled to inaugurate the yatra from Kushalnagar, his ministerial colleague Anantkumar Hegde is scheduled to flag off the other yatra from Ankola on the same day, she added.

The idea is to take out a padayatra in cities and bike rallies in other parts. Both the teams will traverse through Kodagu, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts before converging at Suratkal on March 6.

Before the padayatra, BJP national president Amit Shah will tour the coastal districts from February 20.

Bengaluru, Jan 16: Members and activists of social organisation Rakshana Vedike on Thursday staged a protest and demanded the arrest of BJP MLA Somashekhara Reddy, for his 'provocative' remarks and statements.

The protesters gathered near Gandhi’s statue near Maurya circle in the city and demanded that the BJP MLA should be arrested immediately.

The protesters alleged that Reddy’s remark were aimed at inciting communal hatred and that his remarks do not do justice to his being an elected representative of the people in the state assembly.

Bengaluru, Jul 20: The Karnataka Congress on Monday slammed the State government's decision to distribute beds used by COVID-19 patients to Government-run hostels and called it as a "ridiculous" decision.

"It's ridiculous that the Govt plans to distribute beds used by COVID patients to Govt run hostels," read a tweet from the Karnataka Congress president DK Shivkumar.

He further said that the Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa should give these beds to his ministers, MLAs and officials.

He further went on to urge parents and students to speak "against this move" by the State government.

"Let CM @BSYBJP give these beds to his Ministers, MLAs & Officials! We are launching a movement against this Govt & appeal to parents, students & youths to speak against this move," Shivkumar's tweet read further.

Along with the tweet he also shared a video as well.

Bengaluru, Mar 15: The week-long ban imposed by the Karnataka Government from Saturday is yet to get a total response in the State to fight against the spread of killer disease Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The ban has witnessed a considerable reduction in the travelling public by Bus and train. Bus terminal and Railway stations wore desert look or only a very few public travelling. KSRTC, which was maintaining service for every 10 minutes once between the State Capital and to City of Palaces, was forced to cancel most of the service due to very little patronage. 

"We were left with no option but to cancel the fleet since there are no passengers," sources at the KSRTC Bus terminal told media persons.
