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.

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
