Udupi, Apr 4: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has charged the ruling Congress in Karnataka of misusing Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation funds for electoral purposes.

Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, Shobha, who is also the state BJP general secretary, said the Corporation recently provided Rs 18.75 lakh each to 94 Congress MLAs under the Shramashakti scheme.

Under this scheme, minority artisans are trained to upgrade their artistic and technical skills to carry on with their trade and, a loan up to Rs 25,000 is provided at a low rate of interest.

According to Shobha, Rs 18.75 lakh was provided to the each of the MLAs without even identifying beneficiaries in their constituencies. Besides, only the Congress MLAs got the grants make the malafide intention of ruling dispensation clear, she charged.

The BJP leader said that as per rules the corporation has to draw the list of eligible beneficiaries after inviting applications. The MLA can only ratify the list. However, in this case the list was drawn by the MLAs themselves and even the beneficiaries were not identified.

Shobha charged that the grants were being diverted for election purposes. She sought the intervention of the Election Commission of India (ECI) in the issue.

Shoba is correct in her statement.  She should be made care taker of all Govt Funds as there is no decent / impartial / noble / sincere / people lover / patriot person like her in whole of India.  She never ever misused Govt fund and she deserves to be made as care taker of Govt fund.  Karnataka Govt should nominate her to this position immediately.

Bengaluru, Jun 28: Karnataka Minister for Medical Education Dr K Sudhakar faced criticism by netizens after he shared a TikTok video sent by his daughter and wife, who are currently undergoing treatment in a COVID-19 facility.

TikTok is a Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based internet technology company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming.

Dr Sudhakar’s father, his wife and daughter who tested positive for Covid-19 has been admitted to a designated facility and in order to make his birthday memorable, his daughter sent him greetings through TikTok video.

When the minister shared the TikTok video, people pointed out that the minister should know better and that he should urge his family to boycott the Chinese video-sharing platform and lead by example.

Many were miffed that a BJP leader put up a TikTok video at a time when tensions are running high between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.
