Mangaluru, Jul 16: Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said the party has failed completely in marketing the achievements of the UPA government.

Inaugurating the party convention and Ambedkar Jayanthyutsava organized by Mangaluru South Block Congress Committee here on Saturday, Kharge said that Congress concentrated only on work and silently fulfilling promises whereas BJP concentrated only on marketing.

"We are lagging behind in marketing our party's achievements,” he lamented.

“The Congress has made several noteworthy contributions and led the nation towards development. It is the Congress that is instrumental in development of ports, airports, highways, bridges in the nation. The Congress government introduced several pro-people rules like Food Security Act, MGNREG Act, RTE Act and several other similar initiatives like Mangalyaan, but we have failed to market our achievements in a proper way. Ironically, the BJP does more marketing than the actual progress they record," Kharge said and called upon party workers to join hands in the process of building party at grass root levels.

"RSS, BJP and Sangh Parivar leaders, who never lit lamp during Ambedkar Jayanti and those who do not hoist tricolor, are teaching patriotism to Congress. Modi and the BJP leaders make a loud clamour that Congress destroyed the nation in the past. However, they are shamelessly claiming the credit of development works initiated by the UPA government by just cutting ribbon tapes now," Kharge charged.

Taking a dig at the BJP's pre-election promises, Kharge said, neither black money stashed in Swiss banks has been brought back, nor employment has been provided to unemployed youth.

Hitting at the Prime Minister's frequent foreign tours, Kharge said, "Modi visits foreign countries even without invitation even though we have an external affairs minister. Prime Minister of a nation should visit foreign countries only in case of very important conclaves. Investors will come to India if our foreign policy is attractive," he added.

Kharge said the Karnataka Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and Other Inhuman Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Bill, 2016 should be passed as a dedication to B R Ambedkar on the occasion of his 125th birth anniversary. "Passing Anti-superstition Bill will be a true tribute to the architect of Indian Constitution. I am sure that BJP leader Jagadish Shettar and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy, who believe in Basavanna's ideology, will not oppose the passage of the bill," Kharge said.

Senior Congress leader Oscar Fernandes, AICC in-charge secretary Shantharam Naik, energy minister DK Shivakumar, food and civil supplies minister UT Khader, KPCC working president Dinesh Gundu Rao and other leaders were present. Mangaluru City South MLA JR Lobo presided.

New Delhi, Jul 27: A month after banning 59 Chinese applications, the government of Indian has now reportedly banned 47 more apps of Chinese origin in the country. According to sources, the 47 banned Chinese apps were operating as clones of the earlier banned apps. 

The list of the 47 Chinese applications banned by the Indian government will be released soon.

India has also prepared a list of over 250 Chinese apps, including apps linked to Alibaba, that it will examine for any user privacy or national security violations, government sources said. The list also includes Tencent-backed gaming app PUBG.

Some top gaming Chinese applications are also expected to be banned in the new list that is being drawn up, sources said. The Chinese applications, that are being reviewed, have allegedly been sharing data with the Chinese agencies.

Today's decision follows after a high-profile ban of 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, as border tensions continued in Ladakh after a violent, fatal face-off between the Indian and Chinese armies. The government said these apps were engaged in activities that were prejudicial to the sovereignty, integrity and defence of India.

A government press release announcing the ban stated: "The Ministry of Information Technology, invoking it's power under section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with the relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009 and in view of the emergent nature of threats has decided to block 59 apps since in view of information available they are engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order".

A day later, Google said it has removed all the banned applications from the Play Store. Following the ban, TikTok refuted the claims that suggest it will pursue legal action against the Indian government for banning the app in India.

Reacting to the 59 apps banned by India, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said the country is "strongly concerned regarding the decision of the Indian government".

“China is strongly concerned, verifying the situation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

"We want to stress that the Chinese government always asks Chinese businesses to abide by international and local laws-regulations. The Indian government has a responsibility to uphold the legal rights of international investors including Chinese ones," Zhao Lijian said.

Bengaluru, May 4: First year Pre-University results of Karnataka Department of Pre-University Education will be released soon.

According to a report, the first year PU result will be released on the registered mobile numbers of students or parents on May 5. The report also asked the colleges which offers PU course that the PU results should not be released on the notice boards.

This measure has been taken keeping in view to avoid gatherings in and around the institutions to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The Deccan Herald report also said the students who are not able to clear the exams after the PU results are declared will be given a chance to appear for supplementary examinations in college level and further details on this will be shared with the institutes by the department in due course.

"After the declaration of results, colleges can conduct online classes for students who are eligible to attend second year PU classes," the report added.

The state is yet to complete the SSLC (class 10) and PU second year (higher secondary or class 12) examinations as the spread of coronavirus and subsequent lockdown announced by the government has put the whole academic activities out of gear in the state.

Recently, the education minister has said the SSLC examinations in the state will be conducted as it is a "crucial stage in a student's life".

"We will consider it (SSLC examinations) when the situation becomes normal," The New Indian Express quoted the minister as saying.

The Karnataka SSLC exam was scheduled to be held between March 27 and April 9, and over eight lakh students had registered for the exam.

Updates on the date and other decisions regarding PU second year exams are awaited.

Earlier, the school education department had decided to promote class 7 and 8 students without any exams in the wake of lockdown aimed at controlling the spread of COVID-19.

Chitradurga, Feb 10: President of the BJP State unit Nalin Kumar Kateel on Sunday hit out at Congress leader M. Mallikarjun Kharge for allegedly likening Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a “zero candle bulb”.

Mr. Kateel told reporters here that Mr. Modi was a “1,000 watt bulb that gave light to the world”, and compared Mr. Kharge to a lamp that had burned out politically.

Mr. Kateel charged that Mr. Kharge had become frustrated after losing the elections and after his party did not even consider him for a Rajya Sabha seat. And this had made the Congress leader to make wild charges against the Prime Minister.

Lashing out at the Congress, Mr. Kateel alleged that the Congress was continuing the “divide and rule” policy of the British and accused the former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda of being the “other face of the Congress”.

Mr. Kateel also came down on the former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. He ridiculed the Congress for the delay in choosing a new KPCC chief after Dinesh Gundu Rao submitted his resignation.
