Mangaluru, Apr 24: Former Mangaluru Mayor K Ashraf, who is known for playing Muslim card in politics, on Tuesday filed nomination papers for May 12 Karnataka assembly polls from Mangaluru (erstwhile Ullal) constituency.

Mr Ashraf, who recently quit Congress and formally joined the Janata Dal (Secular) a couple of months ago, had in fact sought ticket from Mangaluru City South constituency, which is currently represented by Congress leader J R Lobo.

However, JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy wanted to field a Muslim candidate in Mangaluru constituency to defeat U T Khader, Minister for Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs. 

According to sources, Mr Kumaraswamy wanted to field Abdul Rauf Puthige, the state general secretary of JD(S) from Mangaluru. However, Mr Puthige’s reluctance to contest in Magnaluru, forced Mr Kumaraswamy to field Mr Ashraf, who is also a critic fo Mr Khader.

Political observers believe that Mr Ashraf’s candidature would help BJP candidate in the constituency as the former is likely to snatch at least a few hundred Muslim votes from Congress.

Rasheed Bhai......... No individual is above the Nation. Personal attitudes will not damage the whole NATION and its CONSTITUTION. But a Political Party as a whole can make a difference to the NATION. Being a citizen of INDIA, just evaluate the Nation under BJP rule and CONGRESS rule you will get your ANSWER. Thank God.... your family is safe and secure, but think about those families who were the victims of BJP workers. The intolerance in last 4 years has gone from bad to worse. For God's sake, please keep your difference away especially for this State election and for upcoming General Election in Year 2019. All the best to all the Kannadigas and lets give another chance to CONGRESS to keep the injurious political party BJP much far away.

Some selfish and jealous people  are trying to misguide the community.  Instead of supporting and guiding the community to the unity, they try to divide just because of their selfish motives.  Community should be very vigilant and aware of what is happening.  While all secular forces trying hard to stop this Communal party, this kind of selfish people are trying to divide.  They  harm the community indirectly.  Its better not to give an opportunity to our enemy rather than harming our own community.  So be aware of this kind of selfish people.  Its very easy for all political parties to be communal but secular parties are struggling.  Instead of supporting secular parties, these selfish people trying to divide the votes.  Very bad. Need to reject him outright. 

Under the current state of affairs, we need to think about the whole KARNATAKA STATE and our great nation "INDIA". This JD(S) candidate is BJP's agent and they are not bother about our STATE & NATION. Even though if he win election this time, I can challenge he will never improve ULLAL. He will just fill his pocket and share few penny to BJP. Let all the Kannadigas be SMART and vote for CONGRESS - because the current situation in INDIA had forced all the MUSLIMS to vote only CONGRESS. We all should think that its CONGRESS V/S BJP only. No other parties should exists at this moment of time. Lets build a very strong and smart INDIA.

If you vote for Ashraf it is like voting for BJP. Do you want Modi and Amit Shah to win? 

Be smart and don't vote for Ashraf

Bengaluru, Jan 25: To address the grievances of the Industrialists, over the issue of acquisition of land, the state government have plans to dilute the Land Reforms Act, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, said here on Saturday.

Speaking to the media here, on his visit to the World Economic Forum, Davos, recently he said that 'the visit was fruitful and ends with satisfactory note by procuring promises from several Industrial houses to investment in Karnataka'.

Stating that during his five-day stay at Davos, he had met several Industries heads on the sidelines of the summit, and had an interactive meeting with them, Chief Minister said that 'the event had helped us to present our state Karnataka, to convince them about the prevailing industry-friendly environment'.

He said that he had met several heads of global companies, including Arcelor Mittal, Kirloskar, MAHINDRA, Bharat Forge, 2000 Watt, general electrical, Dassault, Dalmia, Lulu Group, Volvo, Nova Nosdik and Domeco.

'The interaction with the corporate heads was encouraging and more investment is expected to flow into Karnataka, in the fields of Mining, Power, Agriculture, Pharma, Education, and Industries.'

Informing that the main grouse expressed by the Industrialists about the bottlenecks being faced in the Land Reforms Act to procure land, he said that 'To make ease of conversion of Agricultural land we have plans to bring amendment and it would be both win-win situation to both Farmers as well as Industries.'

'We have promised them to remove all hurdles, which comes in the way of acquiring land to set up industries, and we have promised to rectify all the administrative problems within a month or two and legal problems in the next couple of months by amending existing laws.'

'We have also plans to present a new Industrial policy in the coming budget and roll out a comprehensive and investor-friendly law', he further said.

Replying to questions, Chief Minister said that 'all those investment proposals which got clearance at the High-Level Clearance Committee would automatically considered as ‘deemed permission’ and start the process of acquisition of land'.

'TheWorldEconomic Forum Summit had also served us as a platform to invite Industrialists to take part in the Karnataka Global Investors Meet scheduled to be held in November this year', he added.
