Bengaluru, Jul 3: BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa on Sunday said the Congress leaders are issuing irresponsible statements on his Dalit outreach programme as they are unable to digest its success. dalithbsy

Speaking after inducting former minister S N Krishnaiah Setty into the party fold, he claimed that the recently concluded Janasamparka Abhiyana (Dalit outreach programme) was a grand success. The party received overwhelming response from people. The Congress leaders are finding it difficult to accept the fact that Dalits are swaying towards the BJP and hence, they are issuing irresponsible statements, he charged.

The state Congress had accused Yeddyurappa of having hotel-made food at a Dalit’s house during Janasamparka Abhiyana in Chitradurga district. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had even charged him with practicing untouchability for not eating food cooked by Dalits.

Yeddyurappa said many leaders in the Congress are upset with the misrule of the state government. They are all eager to join the BJP. The BJP workers should focus on strengthening the party. The target is to win 150 seats in the next Assembly elections. The party has recently launched Vistaarak programme in order to strengthen the party at the booth level, he added.

Setty said he did a mistake by quitting the party and assured the BJP leaders that he will strive to strengthen the party in Kolar district. Setty was a BJP MLA from Malur Assembly constituency in Kolar district. He was minister for Muzrai and Housing in the BJP government headed by Yeddyurappa. He was dropped from the Cabinet following a controversy related to land acquisition by the Karnataka Housing Board.

Setty had rebelled against the BJP in 2013 as the party denied him the ticket to contest the Assembly polls from Malur. He unsuccessfully contested as an Independent candidate. Later, he joined the Congress in 2014.

Besides, the state BJP appointed K P Nanjundi as the party vice-president. Nanjundi, a businessman and leader of the Vishwakarma community, recently joined the BJP after quitting the Congress.

January 21,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 21: A massive protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) was witnessed at Shivajinagar's Chandni Chowk area on Tuesday.

Scores of people came together carrying national flags and placards to register their protest in the city.

Speaking to ANI, a protester said, "People of all religious community have assembled here in Chandni Chowk to protest against CAA, NRC, and NPR. We the people of India are against this law."

Terming the law as anti-constitutional, he said that we support all the states who oppose the CAA. We demand the revocation of CAA and the government should remove conditions in NPR which lead to NRC.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Pakistan turns locusts into chicken feed; India should adopt same method: RSS affiliate

News Network

May 29,2020

New Delhi, May 29: Opining that there is no harm in importing ideas from abroad Swadeshi Jagran Manch, an affiliate of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, has suggested that India should take a cue from Pakistan and turn the “locust threat” into “chicken feed.

In an interview, Ashwani Mahajan, national co-convener of Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) said: “I saw an article which shows that Pakistan has turned the locust threat into an opportunity by converting it into chicken feed”

“If there is a good idea originating from anywhere, we should be open to exploring such ideas. We should adopt good ideas. There is no harm in that,” he added.

He also shared the article on Twitter and wrote: “Pakistan turns locust threat into chicken feed. Need to understand the idea and replicate it in India.”

The article stated “an innovative pilot project in Pakistan’s Okara district offers a sustainable solution in which farmers earn money by trapping locusts that are turned into high-protein chicken feed by animal feed mills”.

“It was the brainchild of Muhammad Khurshid, a civil servant in the Ministry of National Food Security and Research, and Johar Ali, a bio-technologist from the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council,” according to the article.

Both Pakistan and India have been hit by locust attacks. These are desert locusts, which is one of the 12 species of short-horned grasshoppers. Swarms can comprise billions and travel up to 130 km in a day.

India has been battling the locust attacks with moderate success since December. However, the onset of monsoon could bring more trouble.
