Mangaluru, May 7: Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP of Dakshina Kannada has held Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy responsible for the water crisis in Mangaluru.

He was speaking at a protest staged by BJP in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner here on Monday alleging that Home Minister M.B. Patil is functioning in an autocratic manner and the State government is curbing the right to freedom of expression.

Mr Kateel said that though Mangaluru is facing a severe water crisis, the Chief Minister has not paid a visit to the city and tried to address the issue by holding a meeting. The CM is fearing losing his chair, he added.

He said that the coalition government in the State will collapse after the announcement of the results of the Lok Sabha elections on May 23.

Addressing the protesters D Vedavyasa Kamath, MLA, Mangaluru City South, said that the State government is indulging in hate politics. The coalition government is arresting those who spoke against it, he said.

“When a former MLA made derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, no action was taken, though a complaint was filed,” he said.

Questioning the contribution of the coalition government in the State in the past one year, the MLA said that Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy made controversial statements against the people of the coastal region. “But he prefers the coast for relaxing and refreshing,” he added.

Assan, Feb 9: Coming down heavily on Amit Shah, JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda said that the Union Home Minister is dreaming of a Hindu nation. Addressing the crowd at an anti-CAA/NRC rally in Hassan, he said that the Home Minister has forgotten that India is a secular, multi-lingual country.

“Shah cannot make India into a Hindu nation. People should come forward and oppose the Acts in the interest of peace and welfare of the nation,” the former PM said, urging secular leaders to unite and fight against the undemocratic policies put forth by the Centre.

“Only secular forces can protect minorities by taking to the streets,” he said. Talking about the controversy around former Union minister Anant Kumar Hegde’s statements, Gowda said BJP leaders are airing anti-national comments, which is disturbing peace. “Muslims, Christians and Hindus should unite to fight against the BJP’s unilateral decisions.”
