News Network

February 18, 2018

The Janata Dal (Secular) took everyone by surprise on Saturday, Feb 17, by announcing candidates for 126 Assembly seats even before the election schedule for Karnataka is announced by the poll panel.

The list was made public on the same day that the JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda addressed an election rally with BSP chief Mayawati in Bengaluru, indicating that a seat sharing formula has been worked out.

The first list, however, features names only from the JD(S). Its alliance partners BSP and NCP are likely to be accommodated in the second list as the JD(S) will only contest from 58 of the remaining 98 seats. Karnataka Assembly has 224 seats.

Many of the sitting MLAs figure in the list of 126 candidates, including N H Konareddi (Navalgund), Madhu Bangarappa (Soraba), YSV Datta (Kadur). JD(S) State President H D Kumaraswamy (Ramanagar) and his brother H D Revanna (Holenarasipura) and MLC C R Manohar also figure in the first list.

Prominent among those who switched over to the JD(S) from other parties recently and have managed to get the ticket include former ministers Anand Asnotikar (Karwar), H Vishwanath (Hunsur) and Ravindra Srikantaiah (Srirangapatna).

Former vice-chancellor of University of Mysore K S Rangappa, who joined the JD(S) recently, has been given the ticket for Chamaraja seat. Sitting Mandya MP C S Puttaraju will contest from Melkote. Only four women figure in the first list.

All 126 candidates were administered oath by senior MLC Basavaraj Horatti.

BSY likely to expand cabinet again to satisfy miffed MLAs

News Network

February 17,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 17: Days after 10 MLAs were inducted in the Cabinet, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa is likely to expand his Cabinet again as some BJP MLAs are unhappy, said BJP sources.

Several leaders including Umesh Katti, CP Yogeshwar, Raju Gowda and MP Renukacharya are miffed over the recent cabinet expansion, claim sources.

On February 6, ST Somashekar, Ramesh Laxmanrao Jarkiholi, Anand Singh, K Sudhakar, BA (Byrathi) Basavaraj, Arabail Hebbar Shivaram, Hasavanagowda C Patil, K Gopalaiah, Narayana Gowda and Shrimant Balasaheb Patil took oath as ministers.

It should be noted that many MLAs had won the by-polls on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket in December last year after switching loyalties from the Janata Dal (Secular) (JDS) and Congress.

In the December 5 by-polls held in 15 Assembly constituencies, the BJP had won 12, while Congress managed to bag only two. One seat was won by an Independent candidate while the JDS drew a blank.

Irked by Hegde remarks against Gandhi, BJP asks him to take 'remedial' measures

News Network

February 3,2020

New Delhi, Feb 3: BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's swipe at Mahatma Gandhi has irked the top party leadership and he may be forced to apologise, party sources said on Monday.

A senior BJP leader said the Karnataka leader's comments were "condemnable" and the party leadership is upset with him.

"The party has conveyed its displeasure to him and asked him to take remedial measure. Any insult to Mahatma Gandhi is unacceptable," he said.

Hegde, a former Union minister, reportedly claimed at an event in Bangaluru that the entire freedom movement was staged with the consent and support of the British, and the independence movement led by Gandhi was a "drama".

He also wondered why the Father of the Nation was called 'Mahatma' (a great soul).

The party leader said the Lok Sabha MP is a "disciplined" member of the party and will do what he has been asked to.

Hegde, known for hardline Hindutva leanings, has a history of making controversial remarks.

Comments

This man and some others like him have reached the peak of their madness.

They will not change their attitude, as they know that nobody can do any harm to them.

Therefore they will listen only to dire action what they deserve per the penal code. If required put him behind bars.

Dont harm them more, see their families.

U T Khader demands ban on corporate education apps in Karnataka

coastaldigest.com news network

June 13,2020

Mangaluru, June 13: Commending the Karnataka government move to ban the online classes for children up to Standard 5, Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has demanded to impose ban on all education apps that offer online coaching to school children.

"I welcome the government’s decision of banning online classes up to class 5. I would like to know why education apps of corporate companies are allowed to continue when schools are banned to conduct online classes. Why the government could not ban those education apps that offer online classes?” the former minister questioned.

He warned that private schools in the state may commence their online classes through such apps of corporate companies if the present situation continues.

Not all parents in the state can afford buying smart phones required for online classes, he said. "Only 30% of the school children in the state have access to smart phones. Most of the parents cannot afford to buy smart phones for their children. Government should take into consideration the mental stress of academically brilliant children among poor families. Those children may go under depression when they do not have access to online classes. The government can cancel some of the schemes like distribution of bicycles and reserve such funds to find solutions to the problems poor children face at present,” Khader said.
