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 .

Several MLAs at Bengaluru resort were emotionally pressurised to leave Cong: Patwari

March 13,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 13: Several ministers staying at the Bengaluru resort had been emotionally pressurised to leave the Congress party, said Congress leader Jitu Patwari on Thursday after he was rescued by party leader DK Shivakumar from getting arrested due to the scuffle that had broken out at Embassy Boulevard here.

"We had received information that one of the MLAs, Manoj Chaudhary, staying at the Boulevard wanted his father to bring him back home," Patwari told reporters.

He said, "We had accompanied Manoj's father to the resort but the moment we entered the restaurant at the resort, some miscreants took away Manoj to some other unknown place," Patwari told reporters.

"Meanwhile, we (Lakhan Singh and Jitu Patwari) were manhandled and taken to the police station," he added.

Patwari said that the police had started the process of arresting them but Shivakumar came to their rescue and stopped their arrest.

He further said, "The police manhandled us even though we tried to talk to them in a very calm manner."

"If the MLAs giving resignation was their decision then why is the BJP not allowing them to contact their families," the MP said.

He further said that Jyotiraditya Scindia would soon become a minister but "why are the other ministers being made scapegoats."

Earlier in the day, a Congress leader in Madhya Pradesh had said that if action on the assaulters of its two leaders is not taken then the matter will be taken to the court.

This is how BJP defended delay in repatriation of Kannadigas from Gulf

coastaldigest.com news network

May 20,2020

Mangaluru, May 20: The local unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has defended the delay in repatriation of coastal Kannadigas from Middle Eastern countries saying that it is impossible to bring all expatriate together at a time when covid-19 cases are continuing to spike in the region.

Addressing a press conference, Sudarshan M, president of Dakshina Kannada unit of BJP said that the entire district administration was working as a team under the leadership local MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and district minister Kota Shrinivas Poojary and seven BJP MLAs in this critical juncture.

“Without any bias, we also have reached out to the needs of people of Mangaluru assembly constituency represented by former minister and Congress MLA U T Khader,” he said, adding that his party will not forget Indian expatriates in the Gulf too.

Replying to the charge of not catering to the interests of Kannadigas stranded in the Middle East by way of arranging special flights, Sudarshan said this is part of a well-thought-out move to bring them in batches.

“It is impossible to bring back all Kannadigas stranded in Middle East all of a sudden. Their repatriation will be in phased manner based on facilities available in the district,” he said.

“The district authorities have created healthcare and quarantine facilities for a limited number, be it at Covid-19 hospital or institutional quarantine, and bringing them together will create logistical problems,” he said.
