Mahamandal smells conspiracy for Billava Mukt Congress'; slams Oscar, CM

June 21, 2016

Mangaluru, Jun 21: Leaders of Billva community have threatened the Congress party that it would bay a heavy price for neglecting their leaders during recent Cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka under the leadership of chief minister Siddaramaiah.

1 leaders

Rashtriya Billavara Mahamandal, a powerful body of the Billava community on Tuesday accused the Congress of 'using and throwing' the community for narrow political gains. “Is there a conspiracy in play to ensure Billava Mukt Congress' (Billava free Congress),” asked Harikrishna Bantwal, spokesperson of the Mahamandal.

Speaking to reporters here, Mr Bantwal took umbrage to sacking of Vinay Kumar Sorake from the cabinet and not giving representation Billava community in ministerial reshuffle.

“If the CM felt that Vinay Kumar Sorake was not good enough, he had a choice of other senior MLAs from Billava community including Vasanth Bangera from Belthangady and Gopal Poojary from Baindoor, who could be included in the cabinet. Both Vasanth Bangera and Gopal Poojary are senior MLAs and are capable to become ministers in their own individual right,” he said.

He went on to claim that the party had ignored even Janardhan Poojary, the former union minister. “In fact Poojary should have been the choice of Congress for recent Rajya Sabha polls instead of Oscar Fernandes, who is damaging the party's interest,” he said.

It is leaders such as Oscar who are damaging party's interest and efforts are on to sideline a senior Billava leader Janardhan Poojary, who ideally should have been party's choice for RS polls," he added.

Billawas not supported J.P for the last MP Election. He got Vote from Other community. So, they sidewise JP , he was one of strong leader in Congress due to Communal mind within the community we losing a great leader like JP. he made him Voiceless.

Khangrace used billavas like tissue paper...but fortunately due to strong penetration of sangh parivar...75% dont align with khangrace ..many billava nationalists were brutally hacked by islamic millitabts. .best example prashanth poojari under Khsn grace rule..anyways khan grace wont get majority next time ...just ullal only in dk ..as we all know what is rhe reason .

one day snake must come out from rat hole...that day we will wait

Dear DC Dr. Harsha, we want to know if you will take strict action on these anti nationals / rowdis / day robbers / terrorists who ransacked auto + beaten the auto driwer and stolen Rs. 10,000 from him though he was legally transporting the meat. They same terrorists are involved in transporting live animals to beef export houses in Gujrat owned by Brahmins / Jains. Will you be loyal to your duty and promise. We will see how you will handle the issue failing which you will lose our respect and we will consider you as a dramabaz and phenku. You should follow the law and treat everyone equally. There should not be any pity on goondas/ terrorists belonging to sangh parivar. The terrorists who thrashed the auto driver and damaged the auto and burnt the meat by pouring kerosene are not human beings and should be treated as anti nationals + terrorists. We hope you will discharge your duty as per the oath taken by you while accepting your post.

Karnataka Congress leaders ride bicycle to protest fuel price hike

News Network

June 29,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 29: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah along with Congress leaders on Monday rode a bicycle from his residence to Minsk Square to protest against the hike in fuel prices.

KPCC President DK Shivakumar was also seen riding a bicycle along with other members of the Congress party to Minsk Square where the party staged the protest.

During the protest, Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar along with party leaders carried a bike on their shoulders.

"We are carrying out our duty today. At the time of the UPA government's rule, when there was any hike in fuel prices, several BJP leaders had made bold statements. It is ironic that today, at the time of this COVID-19 pandemic, even despite the price of barrels falling, they have increased fuel prices," said Shivakumar.

"In Delhi, diesel prices have exceeded petrol prices. We must protest against this. The DCP can file whatever case he wants to. Despite several cases against us, we have never been shaken up. They are inconveniencing people and causing the people to burn in hell. These people must be protected," he added.

With the hike in fuel prices, the petrol prices stand at Rs 83.04/litre (increase by Rs 0.05), and the diesel prices stand at Rs 76.58/litre (increase by Rs 0.13) in Bengaluru, according to a price notification of state oil marketing companies.

The Congress has termed the increase in the prices of petrol and diesel as "unjust" and "thoughtless", and urged the Central government to roll back the increase with immediate effect and pass on the benefit of low oil prices directly to the people.
