Mangaluru/Udupi, May 9: Ghulam Nabi Azad, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha today campaigned for the Congress candidates in coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi for May 12 Karnataka assembly polls.

Speaking to media persons in Mangaluru, the former union minister hailed the achievements of chief minister Siddaramaiah led Congress government and urged the people to save the state from Bharatiya Janata Party.

Calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a liability to the nation as against his portrayal of himself being the 'saviour', the veteran Congress leader said that money power plays a major role in BJP politics.

"They buy voters and gather people to their prime minister’s rally by spending billions. It is not the people who come on their own. They are bought and brought," he alleged.

He added that the Congress firmly believes and shall remain committed to the thought that politics and religion are two different entities which cannot be brought together.

The modus operandi of BJP solely depends on money and not on the performance unlike Congress, he said.

Congress would always fight the battle on the performances delivered and not on hollow slogans and false promises, Azad said.

He said that performance-wise, the BJP is miles behind the Congress. He added that Karnataka and south Indians are very wise and if at all they fall for the money power of BJP, there would not be any such big tragedy in the legacy of politics. It would be unfortunate and only God has to save the country.

However, it will not happen, he stated confidently. BJP is known for preaching and not delivering. The prime minister is also similar as he only preaches and does not deliver, he said.

"He shows the moon but does not even give mud to people. The promises made to farmers, women and unemployed youths are not fulfilled," Azad said.

Karnataka government has offered free rice and other cereals for 65% people and 1.5 crore children are given milk and eggs. The loans up to Rs 50,000 have been waived for each farmer, he said.

Lambasting the BJP and its association with the Reddy brothers, the former Union minister said that the corruption amount of Reddy brothers is equal to four budgets of Jammu and Kashmir.

Claiming that MGNREGS is one of the biggest employment programmes in the world, the parliamentarian said that the programme has benefited 65 crore, unskilled people. It is the biggest social employment scheme, he said.

"The Congress will not make promises but it is committed to delivering. The programmes which were carried out or executed by Congress-led Karnataka government and UPA 1 and 2 were also not promised rather they were silently delivered to people," he said. He said JD(S) is a finished chapter, the party would get a maximum of 10-15 seats.

There are bright chances of Congress forming the government, he said and asserted that he can easily predict from his experience in the state as general secretary in-charge for Karnataka Assembly polls since 1988 and the geography of the politics in the state. "We are on a strong footing when compared to five years ago," he asserted.

Dexamethasone is a life-saving coronavirus drug, claim Oxford scientists

News Network

June 16,2020

University of Oxford researchers have claimed that a cheap and widely available drug called dexamethasone can help save the lives of patients who are seriously ill with coronavirus.

Scientists working on the Recovery Trial found the drug could help patients on ventilators and oxygen, but had no effect on those who did not need help breathing.

“Based on these results, one death would be prevented by treatment of around eight ventilated patients or around 25 patients requiring oxygen alone,” researchers said in a statement.

Matt Hancock, the health secretary, tweeted: “This global first exemplifies the power of science.”

“I’m absolutely delighted that today we can announce the first successful clinical trial for a treatment for Covid-19,” Mr Hancock said.

Recovery Trial experts said a randomised group of 2,104 patients was given 6mg of dexamethasone per day for 10 days, while another group of 4,321 were given normal treatment.

Dexamethasone reduced deaths by one-fifth in patients on oxygen feeds and by one-third in those who needed a ventilator to breathe, preliminary results showed.

Mr Hancock added: “This is a huge step forward and it’s because we’ve backed the science.”

Martin Landray, professor of medicine and epidemiology at the Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford, and one of the trial’s chief investigators, said in a statement: “These preliminary results from the Recovery Trial are very clear – dexamethasone reduces the risk of death among patients with severe respiratory complications.

“Covid-19 is a global disease – it is fantastic that the first treatment demonstrated to reduce mortality is one that is instantly available and affordable worldwide.”

Trials of drug dexamethasone in Covid-19 cases have brought success in saving lives , claim Oxford University scientists on 16 June 2020.

According to news reports on 16 June , 2020 , Oxford University Scientists have conducted trials on anti-inflammatory steroid Dexamethasone in Covid-19 cases. Results released by the Oxford University on 16 June 2020 say that the low-cost and easily available drug saves the people seriously infected by Coronavirus , cuts the death risk by a third for those on ventilators and by a fifth for those on oxygen. The commentary on the drug reads like this :-

“ This is a tremendous news today from the recovery trial showing that dexamethasone is the first drug to reduce mortality from Covid-19. It is particularly exciting as this is an inexpensive widely available medicine. This is a ground breaking development in our fight against the disease and the speed at which researchers have progressed finding an effective treatment , is truly remarkable. It shows importance of doing high quality clinical trials and basing decisions as the results of those trials”.

Covid-19 has taken into its grip the entire world during first half of the year 2020 , infecting lacs and killing also lacs of its patients. In the absence of an effective drug or vaccine , people had no choice other than to look up to the heavens or scientists to come with some cure. And the drug described here is the first one to respond to the prayer of the global community , it seems. As regards a vaccine , only few are claiming that it can come by the end of the present year 2020. Rather , some are of the view that it may take a larger part of the year 2021 and could even go to mid-2022. Whatever that scenario about prospect of arrival of vaccine to treat Covid-19 may be , the news that was broken on 16 June 2020 by the Oxford University scientists in relation to drug dexamethasone would have sent a wave of strength and hope among people world-wide. And this Vedic astrology writer was spirited for another reason as well - a prediction of when some relief by way of drug to fight Covid-19 may appear , having come accurate in the claim announced by Oxford University on 16 June 2020. This writer had , based on interpretation and application of Vedic astrology , contributed in early April , 2020 an opinion piece - “ Some searchlight on way out of Covid-19 presently tormenting mankind” - to a number of newspapers. It was also contributed on 11 April , 2020 using the ‘ comments’ column of article -‘ Heard Charles took Ayurveda treatment-based Ayush drugs for Covid-19’ - at theprint.in/india/looking-at-evidence-based-ayush-medicines-to-treat-covid-19-minister-shripad-naik/393407/. The text in the opinion piece related to the claim of success announced by Oxford University scientists on 16 June , 2020 , reads like this :-

“ So reading in between the lines , it can be said that some effective drug or remedy can arrive by mid or towards the last week of June 2020 to provide some relief during July to September 2020 , to some good extent”.

The point this writer wants to share with readers world-wide is that yes , a drug envisaged in the aforesaid prediction has appeared on the horizon in the claim announcement of Oxord University scientists on 16 June , 2020.
