KSE?holds Kuruba leaders' meet, talks Ahinda to counter BSY

Bengaluru, Aug 9: In a new turn to the tussle between senior BJP leaders B?S?Yeddyurappa and K S?Eshwarappa, the latter convened a meeting of leaders of the Kuruba community and also played the “Ahinda” card on Monday.

BSYEshwarappa, who belongs to the Kuruba community, is cut up with Yeddyurappa for sidelining him while appointing office-bearers to the Shivamogga unit of the party.

Yeddyurappa has appointed S Rudre Gowda as the district president of the party. Gowda had contested as the KJP nominee against Eshwarappa in the 2013 Assembly elections.

Eshwarappa has been boycotting key meetings of the party to register his unhappiness. On Monday,?Eshwarappa convened a meeting to revive the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade, a registered but defunct social service organisation, apparently to send a message to Yeddyurappa that he cannot be taken for granted. Addressing the gathering, Eshwarappa said the brigade will take up district-wise enrolment drives soon. The brigade will not be restricted to the Kuruba community. Those belonging to minority, other backward classes and dalits can also enrol themselves with the brigade. It will hold a convention in Haveri during the third week of September, he said.

Political observers feel that?Eshwarappa is trying to play the Ahinda card (Kannada acronym for minorities, backward classes and dalits) and emerge as a leader of these communities and consolidate his position in the party.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, when he was in the JD(S), consolidated his position in politics by conducting Ahinda meetings. It paid him dividends as he emerged as an Ahinda leader.

Eshwarappa had recently complained to the party leadership against the style of functioning of Yeddyurappa. It is said that many party leaders including Bhanuprakash, Raghunath Rao Malkapure and Somanna Bevinamarad endorsed Eshwarappa's view before the party leadership.

Bengaluru, May 2: The Centre’s classification of districts created confusion in Karnataka as the state’s own categorisation deviates significantly from the health ministry’s list.

For instance, the Centre put the number of districts in the red zone in state at three, while the state Covid-19 war room puts it at 14. Bengaluru Urban and Mysuru figure in the red zone in both lists. While Bengaluru Rural with zero active cases on May 1makes it to the Centre’s red-zone list, it is in the orange zone according to the state.

In addition to these two, the state classifies Belagavi, Kalaburagi, Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Mandya, Bidar, Dakshina Kannada, Chikkaballapura, Dharwad, Gadag, Tumakuru and Davanagere as red-zone districts.

State Covid war-room authorities said they would take a look at the Centre’s criteria for classification and take a call. Besides, incharge Munish Mudgil pointed out that states are allowed to make additions to the red and orange zones. According to the Centre’s list, Karnataka has 13 districts in the orange zone and 14 in the green zone.

Sudan said, “the districts were earlier designated as hotspots or red zones, orange zones and green zones primarily based on the cumulative cases reported and the doubling rate. Since recovery rates have gone up, the districts are now being designated across various zones duly broad-basing the criteria.

This classification takes into consideration incidence of cases, doubling rate, extent of testing and surveillance feedback. A district will be considered under the green zone if there are no confirmed cases so far or if there is no reported case in the past 21 days.”
