Mysuru, Oct 1: Expressing confidence that he would get a second term, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said that Congress party would face the upcoming Assembly elections in 2018 under his leadership.

Speaking to reporters, after offering puja to the Nandi Dhwaja at Balarama Gate of Mysuru Palace to mark the inauguration of the Dasara procession the CM said that he will perform puja to the Nandi Dhwaja in the next Dasara also.

“We have given good governance and the government has no black marks. The Congress party will face the upcoming Assembly elections in 2018, again under my leadership and I will continue to offer the puja for the next five years,” Siddaramaiah said.

The CM said, “Earlier, due to drought situation in parts of the state, the government had decided to conduct simple Dasara. But the festival was grand and significant as the state received good rain in recent days.

The CM earlier had said that the BJP is under an illusion that the BJP will get 150 seats in the ensuing Assembly elections. “BJP’s ‘Mission 150’ will be a failure as people still remember their administration as a nightmare,” he added.

Supporting BJP leader Yashwant Sinha’s statement that the country’s GDP will still decline, the CM said, “After demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes in November, the GDP has declined by 2%. If the Union government fails to take measures to strengthen the GDP, it will come down by another 3.7%.”

Bengaluru, May 25: The 36-hour marathon lockdown call given by Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, passed off peacefully with people opting to remain inside their houses and cooperate with the state government to fight against spread of deadly Covid-19.

Though the call was only for 24 hours from 7 am (Sunday) to 7 am (Monday) another 12 hours was added to it as the night curfew was already in force from 7 pm on Saturday and the next day (Sunday) it continued till Monday up to 7 am.

Autorickshaws and bus service were off the road giving a tough time to people arriving from neighbouring places reach home that too during the night. Adding to their woes was heavy rain that lashed the city for more than two hours on Sunday evening flooding the streets.

Beijing, Mar 6: World health officials have warned that countries are not taking the coronavirus crisis seriously enough, as outbreaks surged across Europe and in the United States where medical workers sounded warnings over a "disturbing" lack of hospital preparedness.

The World Health Organization warned Thursday that a "long list" of countries were not showing "the level of political commitment" needed to "match the level of the threat we all face".

"This is not a drill," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters.

"This epidemic is a threat for every country, rich and poor."

Tedros called on the heads of government in every country to take charge of the response and "coordinate all sectors", rather than leaving it to health ministries.

What is needed, he said, is "aggressive preparedness."
