Davanagere, Apr 4: As the size of crowds that turned out for AICC President Rahul Gandhi's roadshows and rallies in Shivamogga district on Tuesday, were lower than expected, the party chief took district functionaries to task, at Davanagere on Wednesday.

Rahul met Shivamogga and Davanagere block level Congress leaders at the Bapuji Guest House in a closed-door meeting on Wednesday. When questioned, the functionaries blamed the summer heat for the low turnout.

To this, Rahul reacted saying:"Is it sunny only in your district? And nowhere else in the country? The whole country is experiencing summer".

Rahul asked party workers not to brag about their achievements and the achievements of ministers, but to focus on key issues of each region that ensure victory.

He also sought suggestions from party leaders on how to attract youth into the party and strengthen it. The AICC chief also called on martyr Javed's family.

    After model code of conduct came into existence in Karnataka, Congress crooks are not able to distribute money (both black money & fake currency) freely to get people for Pappu rallies like before.

          "Rahul asked party workers not to brag about their achievements and the 
          achievements of ministers, but to focus on key issues of each region 
          that ensure victory"

          Is there anything to brag? And, he is advising to focus on key issues, now, during the election time? What were they doing for last 5 years?

          Congress has change for its own good. Party party hierarchy, should be strong. The party must have zero tolerance on Corruption in the name of Party funds. Collect money from ministerial aspirants and Chairmen of statutory boards. Why other parties speak lightly about Congress is due to situation that is prevailing in the Congress. Native Congressmen are sidelined with migrated defected leaders. No one is listening or giving chances to hear views. This time Congress will learn a hard lesson for sidelining devout and loyal Congress leaders and giving prominence of migrants. Even senior leaders like Mr.Jaffar Sheriff and Moily are sidelined. Mr. S.M. Krishna left the party due to not giving importance to his seniority or experience. Now one after the other will start leaving the Congress after out come of the elections in Karnataka.

          Chamaranagara, Mar 29: As many as 595 Tamil Nadu-based fishermen, who were working in Mangaluru, crossed the Karnataka border and reached their state via Chamarajanagar on Saturday.

          Police said following the lockdown, the fishermen had left Mangaluru in more than 20 vehicles. The fishermen crossed the Karnataka border through Punajur check-post. However, the vehicles returned after dropping them near Hasanur check-post in Tamil Nadu.

          As the fishermen had no proper documents, they were stopped by Tamil Nadu Police. However, the police allowed them after screening. The Tamil Nadu government arranged vehicles to ferry them, said a police officer.

          Bengaluru, May 13: The Karnataka Common Entrance Test (K-CET) 2020 will be held on July 30 and 31.

          The test, earlier as scheduled to be held on April 22, 23 and 24, was postponed due to COVID-19 crisis and the nation-wide lockdown.

          Now, considering the dates for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) dates announced by the Union government, the state government has announced the revised dates on Wednesday.

          Higher Education Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan announced this in a press conference. The test will be held online, the minister said. 

          For CET 2020, over 1.90 lakh students registered for admission to undergraduate engineering, B Tech, Architecture, Agriculture and veterinary science courses.

          The Union Health Ministry has revised its discharge guidelines for COVID-19 patients, stating that only those with severe illness need to be tested (through a swab test) and a negative report needs to be obtained before discharge.

          The latest guideline adds that other categories of patients, including very mild, mild, pre-symptomatic and moderate cases, need not be tested before discharge.
