Uudpi, Apr 23: Former BJP MLA K Raghupati Bhat has urged Lakshmivara Tirtha Swami of Shiroor Mutt to withdraw nomination and support him in the upcoming Karnataka legislative elections.

The seer, who was a BJP ticket aspirant, has filed nomination papers as an independent candidate from Udupi constituency. He had earlier said he was inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but was not happy with the functioning of the local unit of the BJP and that it was mired in corruption.

Speaking to presspersons, Mr. Bhat said the seer was expecting the BJP ticket but did not get it. “So he should support me as I am the BJP candidate. That is the culture of the BJP,” he said.

To a query, Mr. Bhat said the Shiroor seer contesting as an Independent candidate would not help Congress candidate Pramod Madhwaraj as the seer would eat into not just BJP votes but also Congress votes.

He said he would seek the blessings of the Shiroor seer and the seers of the Ashta mutts. Some top leaders of the BJP have tried talk to the Shiroor seer and pacify him, Mr. Bhat added.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Monday took strong exception to the BJP's celebration over completing one year in office and alleged that people are suffering due to anti-people policies of the state government.

In a tweet on Monday, he said that since the last six months pension due to physically challenged, old age and Widow pensions were not paid. He urged the Government Issue emerge order to release pension amounts immediately. It was shameful on the part of the Government to keep the pension amount being kept pending.

This government has no eyes and ears and claiming only challenging years and transparent government, what examples required for them, he questioned.

Bengaluru, Jul 5: A 50-year-old woman with breathing difficulties died on Saturday after a shortage of beds forced 12 hospitals to refuse admission.

Her husband Babu said the family had approached 12 hospitals in three days, including Victoria Hospital and other private facilities, who all slammed their doors on them, citing a shortage of beds. The woman died on Saturday, a few minutes into her admission at KC General Hospital.

Second death 

A 35-year-old man, Manjunath, also died on Saturday after enduring fever for three days and being refused admission at several hospitals due to a shortage of beds.

As his condition worsened, his wife admitted him to a private hospital on Saturday after hours of ordeal. But the man died less than 15 minutes after getting admitted. Hospital authorities took swab samples from the deceased and said the body would be handed over after the test results.

BBMP personnel also failed to shift the body of a Covid-19 patient in Kalasipalya almost a day after the death.

Despite civic workers disinfecting the place, the neighbours were in a state of panic after the body was kept at home.
