Mangaluru, Mar 24: A day after the Congress high command formally announced him as the party candidate for Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha seat, Youth Congress leader Mithun Rai today said that his dream was to be the voice of the youth of the coastal district in the Indian parliament.

Speaking to media persons at the party office in the city, Mr Rai said that in spite of the presence of several reputed educational institutions in Dakshina Kannada, the youth of the district have been migrating to other places for the sake of jobs as the BJP, which has been representing the seat in the parliament for past 28 years, has miserable failed create jobs.

“Give me an opportunity. I will be the voice of the young men and women of this district. They need jobs. My priority will be to strive to create jobs for them,” said Mr Rai, hoping that the electorate will teach a lesson to BJP this time and bless Congress candidate.

He said that establishing communal amity and promoting unity among the followers of all the faiths including Hindus, Muslims and Christians is the need of the hour.

“This land has a rich history of communal harmony, tolerance and unity. Unfortunately, in recent years the image of the coastal district has been tarnished to communal skirmishes and hate speeches. This should come to an end,” he said.

Without taking the name of former union minister B Janardhana Poojary, who had recently threatened to rebel against Congress, Mr Rai said that he would launch the poll campaign after seeking blessings from all the senior leaders of the party. Mr Rai would file his nomination papers on Monday, March 25.

Bengaluru, May 10: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday accused the state government of not preparing proper guidelines to bring back people who are stranded near the Karnataka-Maharashtra border areas.

"No proper guidelines have been given to officials to bring back people who are stranded near the Karnataka-Maharashtra border. From the last 45 days, many of these people have not got any relief nor are there any proper directions or guidelines from the state government," alleged Kumaraswamy.

He also accused the state government of cheating the people of Karnataka.

"Karnataka government is cheating people the same way it cheated with the flood compensation. The state government had announced lakhs of rupees as compensation to those who lost houses in the flood last year. But nobody has got the records or details as to how many people got benefited from it," he added.
Fifty-three more COVID-19 cases were reported in Karnataka on Sunday, the state government said.

The total number of cases in the state is at 847, including 405 discharged and 31 deaths so far, the bulletin said.
