Addressing party workers at the Nehru Maidan in Mangaluru, Mr Siddaramaiah cautioned youth in the coastal belt “to not fall prey to Hindutva and divisive agenda of the BJP.” He said the BJP has been trying to divide the society by projecting “Hindutva” in the forefront, particularly in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.

The Chief Minister said the Congress was observing the “Indira 100” programme to unite people as Integration Day.

Mr Parameshwara, said Saturday's programme was “intentionally organised in Mangaluru” to hit out at the brand of “communal politics” of the BJP. He said it was aimed at “reinstilling confidence among the party cadre ahead of the Assembly polls scheduled for April 2018.”

He said Mr. Siddaramaiah and the Congress had received an “overwhelming response” to its padayatra titledCongress nadige samarasyada kadege' from Ullal to Udupi ahead of the previous Assembly elections. “It paid rich dividends to the party to win over the BJP in the 2013 Assembly elections in the two districts,” he claimed.

Of the eight Assembly segments in Dakshina Kannada district, the Congress increased its tally to seven seats in the 2013 elections from four in 2008. In Udupi, the Congress was able to win three of five Assembly seats. It bagged only one seat in Udupi district in 2008.

However, interestingly, the recent zilla panchayat elections in both Dakshina Kannada and Udupi were bagged by the BJP.

July 17,2020

Bengaluru, July 17: A 60-year-old woman who tested positive for Covid-19 allegedly ended her life in the Covid ward at KC General Hospital in the early hours of Friday.

The woman, the fourth Covid positive patient to end her life since April, was a resident of Mariyappanapalya near Jnanabharathi in West Bengaluru. She was found hanging from a window grille in the passage of the Covid ward around 5 am. She had used her sari to hang herself.

The police said that the woman was admitted to the hospital on July 1. She was responding well to the treatment and was almost cured. Her son was infected first and admitted to the same hospital. As she later tested positive and got admitted, her son was discharged on July 11. The police suspect that the woman may have resorted to the extreme step due to depression.

An investigating officer quoted doctors telling the police that they were about to inform the woman about her discharge date on Friday. Doctors were waiting for the report on her latest test before discharging her.

The woman’s body will be subjected to an autopsy as per the Covid standard procedure. The Malleswaram police have taken up a case of unnatural death. Investigations are on.

On July 11, a 70-year-old man ended his life in the toilet of the Covid ward in Victoria Hospital, while a suicide was reported in the same ward on June 26. A 60-year-old woman also hanged herself in the toilet. Her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were also admitted to hospital for Covid-19.
