Mangaluru, Oct 27: Former Union Minister B Janrdhana Poojary, who has created a record in Dakshina Kannada by losing the Lok Sabha polls for five times, this time has openly endorsed the demand of Muslim Central Committee that Congress should field a Muslim candidate from this constituency.

The 81-year-old Congress veteran, who is suffering from multiple ailments, recently had stated that he would not hesitate o contest the 2019 polls from Dakshina Kannada if high command wills. However, in a U-turn, he stated that the Congress should not ignore the demand of the Muslims.

The U-turn comes days after a meeting of the Muslim Central Committee resolved to urge the Congress to field a Muslim candidate from Dakshina Kannada parliamentary constituency in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. It also decided to constitute an action committee to submit a memorandum to the Congress, and to rope in influential ministers such as U T Khader and B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, to prevail upon the party on this issue.

“I wholeheartedly endorse their demand. They should continue to pressurise the party high command. I am with them,” Mr Poojary was quoted as saying by a Kannada news paper.

He also said that Muslims have been demanding ticket since 2009 Lok Sabha polls when he was given the ticket. “In last Lok Sabha polls (2014) too they wanted ticket. But they could not get as I was chosen for the ticket through internal polls. Now it’s time for them to intensify their struggle,” he said.

This is Janardhana Poojary’s Raama Bana against B Ramanath Rai who was aspiring for the ticket in 2019. “Yank ijjanadala malla ijji. Aa banteg thikkere balli...” this is his poojary’s mindset.

Now this Poojary’s sole intention is defeating Congress in Dakshina Kannada to prove that last five defeats were not his defeat but the party’s defeats.

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.
