Modi tries to woo Dalits in Karnataka, says he is trying to fulfil Ambedkar’s dream

Bengaluru, May 10: Reaching out to Dalits and other backward communities in poll-bound Karnataka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said his government was trying to fulfil Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s dream of a powerful and prosperous nation.

Hitting out at the ruling Congress in Karnataka, he said the party failed to confer Bharat Ratna on Ambedkar when it was in power.

Addressing the SC, ST, BC and Slum Morcha workers of Karnataka BJP via “Narendra Modi” app, he said, “Our government has made the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act more stringent.”

He also reminded the workers that the BJP had the maximum number of members of Parliament belonging to the SC/ST, OBC and minority communities.

The Congress did not allow the functioning of Parliament to avoid giving constitutional status to the OBC Commission.

Earlier, the Prime Minister had reached out to the party office-bearers and workers of the women and youth wings through the app.

Modiji all your promises are blank and hollow nobody believe your speech or charisma anymore. You forget that you are PM of india not a candidate for CM of karnataka to stay so long to bring back corrupt yediyurappa.

Mangaluru, Jun 3: Mangaluru MLA and former minister U T Khader has urged the state government and Dakshina Kannada district administration to take steps to facilitate the return of Indians stranded in foreign countries amid covid lockdown.

A delegation comprising Mr Khader, DCC President K Harish Kumar, and MLC Ivan D’Souza met District In-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary and submitted a memorandum on Tuesday.

“Kannadigas who are working outside the state are in distress due to the lockdown. More than 50,000 people had uploaded applications on Seva Sindhu portal seeking permission to return to their villagers and are waiting for permission. With the authorities failing to take any decision, they are worried,” said the delegation.

The government should initiate measures to get them back and quarantine them, urged the delegation.

Mr Khader said, “Many workers stranded in foreign countries are eager to return home. The district administration should make arrangements to quarantine those returning from foreign countries and other states.

There are thousands of migrant labourers from Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar stranded in DK. They are waiting to return to their families. The state government should facilitate their return journey, the delegation urged.

MLC Ivan D’Souza said, “Assistance should be provided to private bus staff, beedi workers, tailors, garage labourers and street vendors who are in distress. The price of Covid-19 tests in private laboratories should be reduced.”

The delegation informed that after Wenlock Hospital was converted into the designated COVID-19 hospital, poor patients are facing many inconveniences. A portion of the hospital should be earmarked for treating other patients, they said.
