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.

          "As many as 30-40 migrant labourers' hutments have been set ablaze by unknown miscreants at Kacharakanahallin in KG Halli, we have taken suo motu cognizance of the crime," said a police official to media.

          Police are investigating the arson invoking IPC Sections 143, 147, 188, 436, 123, 504, 506 and others.

          "There was no loss of life in the arson as the migrant labourers were away at their hometowns because of COVID lockdown," said the official.

          The labourers came from different parts of Karnataka to eke out a living and were living in those huts near the Rama Temple in KG Halli.

          Bengaluru, Jun 29: A 99-year-old woman has successfully recovered from coronavirus in Bengaluru, leaving the medical fraternity and her family elated.

          The woman had contracted the pathogen after coming in contact with her grandson and was hospitalised on her 99th birthday on June 18.

          The woman was taken to the government Victoria Hospital along with her 70-year-old son, daughter-in-law and grandson.

          "While we three developed symptoms like cold, cough and fever, my mother remained asymptomatic," the woman's son said.

          The family members are still wondering how they got infected by the virus as all except the woman's grandson, were confined to their home most of the time.

          Her 29-year-old grandson was the only one who went out to buy groceries.

          Initially, the family approached a private hospital nearby for treatment, but they refused to accept COVID-19 patients.

          Left with no option, the family got admitted to the Victoria hospital.

          "We had reservations about Victoria hospital, but it turned out be a good one.

          We did not spend a penny since the day we were admitted and my mother and son fully recovered," the woman's son said.

          According to Dr Asima Banu, nodal officer of the Trauma Care Centre at the Victoria hospital, the woman was reluctant to get treatment at the hospital.

          "With moral support from doctors and nurses at the Trauma Care Centre, she recovered very fast. She is always positive in life," the doctor said.
