Gujarat outcome will have no effect on Karnataka's 2018 polls: Siddaramaiah

Agencies

December 18, 2017

Bengaluru, Dec 18: The outcome of the Gujarat elections will have no effect on Karnataka's own 2018 Assembly elections said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah here on Monday.

Speaking to reporters here in Ballari, he said because 18 Congress MLAs and opposition leaders like Shankar Singh Vaghela have joined BJP, Congress had suffered a setback in Gujarat polls.

"But Congress has won more seats compared to the last elections, mainly because of the influence AICC president Rahul Gandhi bears over the voters," Siddaramaiah said.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP National President Amit Shah had visited Gujarat 50 times before the election. BJP chief ministers from across the country had done so too."

"Voters of Karnataka will only consider the development work done by the government. This, I have realised after 40 years in politics. The Congress will again come to power in the state," he said expressing confidence.

Though demonitisation and GST have had a favourable impact in Gujarat, it will backfire against the BJP in Karnataka, the CM asserted.

KPCC's president's reaction

KPCC President Dr G Parameshwara said that Congress had performed well in the Gujarat polls by winning more seats compared to the last elections.

Speaking to reporters in Tumakuru on Monday, he refrained from commenting further, saying that he wished to wait until a clear picture had emerged.

Again he pitched for a return to using ballot papers for polls and not electronic voting machines (EVM); saying that an American university had proved that EVMs can be tampered with.

Based on the Congress party's performance in Gujarat, he expressed confidence that Congress would come to power again in Karnataka in the 2018 polls.

Comments

Mr. CM your statement itself cannot make victory in KA-2018. Ofcourse during your term we can see development in many of the sectors. Voters may vote you but as the EVM is having lack of control with congress you may not come with flying colors victory. So I strongly advise you and your officials to keep an eye with internal proceeding of the MACHINE.

****BE AWARE OF EVM GOLMAL***

Wait for some time. EVM cheating they might use

True.. Karnataka politics is entirely different from Gujarat Feku politics

This time congress did much more better and they worked hard for Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. I hope they do the same Karnataka too

We have hope in Siddaramaiah govt. Yeddy and Sobhakka are only good at looting

Confidence is good even just before you loose

Build up the confidence to not let fear hold you back you'll acheive much more

Wow.. Much enough confidence he has. But no use of that

Weddings in the time of Covid: 'Zawaj' offers complete solution for new challenges

Business Desk

June 2,2020

The covid-19 lockdown has thrown wedding plans in disarray in coastal Karnataka like all other activities involving a crowd of people. While many people chose to postpone the scheduled and about to be scheduled weddings, some are going ahead with scheduled plans and holding weddings with no more than 50 guests as per the guidelines issued by the government of Karnataka.

The government may relax the norms and allow participation of more guests in the future. However, holding wedding ceremonies will be a new challenge when people are returning to a ‘new normalcy.’ Compared to the traditional wedding ceremonies of the region, marriages in the time of Covid-19 are expected to be smaller as the organizers have to adhere to the safety protocol and safe distancing norms. Given this situation, to limit risks and ensure safety, families now will have to consider wedding planners to help them celebrate their weddings.

“The postponed weddings will take place in the coming days as the lockdown is being relaxed in a phased manner. However, it won’t be like our traditional weddings. There won’t be 3000 guests. Government directives will be have followed. We expect change in trend from big fat weddings to a small, close family, picture perfect weddings,” says Sartaj Beary, Managing Partner, Zawaj Weddings and Events.

“Our curetted packages will take care of wedding invitations, outdoor venue, premium catering, bridal make up, mehendi function, photography, videography, décor, thermal scanning systems, hand sanitizers and N 95 masks etc. We hope with our experiences we can offer stress free celebration to the families while we plan everything from scratch as per client requirement,” he assures.

“Ultimately, our society has to adopt an innovative way of marriage. At this point, we can say that any wedding in 2020 will look different as the novel coronavirus has disrupted the weddings everywhere. We know it is a big milestone for families and we at Zawaj are here to assure families that we can help a stress free wedding,” he adds.

New Normal Era Weddings

In the ‘new normal era’, weddings across the world will be totally different from what we used to see before the pandemic. People need to be cautious while attending mass gathering and it is important. Gone are the days of closed AC venues. Outdoor weddings will be the future, where seating are spread out and space between tables, stage, food counters will be maximum as per safe distancing protocols.

Wedding planners and caterers will have to ensure systematic safety protocol, safe and responsible operations, preparation of the food, event crew and vendors safe zone, sanitized kitchen, transportations. Even buffet settings will change to include smaller but multiple cuisines, self serving stations, markings on line to maintaining safe distance at the food counters.

More importantly, venue has to be prepared as per the government instructions. Things like disinfection and sanitization, hygiene, ample toilet facilities, hand wash, thermometer scans, masks, sanitizing stations should be taken care of. People from all walks of life will embrace this form of marriage. The services of wedding planners will be most opted in future.
