Jarkiholi will quit Congress, he has sympathy towards Opposition: Poojary

Udupi, Dec 5: Kota Srinivas Poojary, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council, today said that Municipal Administration Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi was mentally away from the Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) government.

"Those in the cabinet mentally away from the government naturally have sympathy towards the opposition," he said.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Poojary said, he would not predict that minister Jarkiholi is going to join Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), but expect him to quit the Congress party.

Reacting to statement by Congress leader and MLA Satish Jarkiholi that 7 to 8 Congress MLAs were inclined towards joining BJP, Poojary said, it was true.

"Congress-JD(S) coalition government has not taken off, hence its performance cannot be evaluated. Marks if given to the government will indicate that the teachers were poor. Ministers were not coming out of Vidhan Soudha, while some of the district in-charge ministers were confined to their assembly constituencies and weren’t resolving people’s grievances," he said.

Poojary said, chief minister and ministers weren’t discharging their duties and Congress was not allowing the chief minister to work. "MLAs in the coalition are disturbed and such if support BJP we could form the government. After the winter session of the state legislature, coalition government will survive on what basis needs to be seen," he added.

Bengaluru, Jul 30: As the protest by Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers entered the 20th day, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesday assured them that he would take up their demands with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.

The ASHA workers are sitting in protests with a number of demands that include a minimum salary of Rs 12,000 per month.

Assuring that their matter will be taken up, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu said while speaking to reporters, "We know how hard ASHA workers have been working as frontline warriors in the fight against COVID-19. I will discuss with CM about their demand for a minimum wage of Rs 12,000 per month and the final decision will be taken soon."

"We went to the police to allow us to protest. Officials then took us to the CM. During the meeting, he demanded some time to sort out our issues. 

We told him we are protesting for the past 20 days and that it was he who needs to call a meeting with us. Only then will he know the problems being faced by ASHA workers," an ASHA worker said clad in her signature pink sari.

"When asked as to why salaries of ASHA workers were not hiked, while it was done for doctors and other healthcare officials, the CM requested for time to look into the matter. 

We are not much happy now, but will if he comes in front of the media and promises to sort out our issues, then we will listen to him", she added.
