Bengaluru, Oct 21: The Bharatiya Janata Party has described the alliance between Congress and Janata Dali (Secular) in Karnataka as a mission to save the existence of two families –Gandhi family of the Congress and H D Deve Gowda family of JD(S).

“Congress has lost confidence to face BJP. in many constituencies they had to import candidates belonging to other constituencies. On the other hand, the family-run party (JDS) doesn’t even have its existence beyond three districts. With little choice left, they had to join hands to face us,” the BJP tweeted, reacting to show of unity by the leaders of the two alliance partners.

“The fact of the matter is that these two family-run parties have come together to save the existence of one family here in Karnataka and another family in Delhi. A desperate attempt to save their existence will be stalled by voters of Karnataka,” the BJP said.

The saffron party also accused the Congress of being communal and trying to divide the Hindu society.

“Deve Gowda family & Congress says they have come together to defeat communal forces. Reality is @DKShivakumar had, a couple of days back, openly admitted that his Congress govt was hell bent on dividing Hindu society, so ideally it’s Congress that’s communal & they have accepted it,” it stated.

Mandya, Jul 24: Pressing for a total ban on stone mining and quarrying in and around the villages surrounding Krishna Raja Sagar Dam in the District, many organisations have called for Mandya bandh on July 29.

The bandh has been supported by Raitha Sangha, Karunada Sevakara Sanghatane, Auto Drivers Association, Jaya Karnataka, Bharatiya Samvidhana Hitharakshana Vedike, Sugarcane Growers Association, Vokkaligara Seva Trust and Dalita Sangarsh Samiti (Krishnappa faction).

The activists said that the State Government must immediately take steps and permanently ban mining in 20 km radius around KRS as continuous blasting for stones is causing grave danger to the structure.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: The Karnataka government on Wednesday put on hold a controversial proposal to drop certain chapters, including on Islam, Christianity, Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali, from social science textbooks to reduce the 2020-21 syllabi for students in classes 1-10.

Citing the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption caused to the academic calendar of the year, the government had earlier dropped the chapter on Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali from the Class 7 social science textbook, saying chapters on Tipu Sultan have been retained in the Class 6 and 10 textbooks.

The move did not go down well with the opposition, which saw certain ulterior motives behind the decision.

Apparently under sharp criticism, the Department of Public Instruction issued a new notification on Wednesday "on the directions of the Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar".

There is a delay in opening the schools during the academic year 2020-21 due to COVID-19 pandemic, said the latest order.

In this context, the order said, chapters were dropped to fit in 120 days of the academic year for classes 1 to 10 and the same was published in the department's website.

"However, on the directions of the Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, the decision to drop certain chapters has been put on hold. A review will be done following which the deleted chapters will be uploaded in the website," the order read.

Earlier in the day, Mr Kumar had issued a statement, saying that the decision to truncate the syllabus has not been finalised yet. He also made it clear that his department would not remove chapters unnecessarily.

Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah had attacked the government on the issue.

"The government, which has failed to control the spread of coronavirus, is using it as an opportunity to push its clandestine agenda of saffronising the textbooks," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
