Mangaluru, Mar 19: Reminding the Mangaluru City Corporation office on its obligation to form ward committees, activists of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) staged a protest outside its office on Saturday.

They shouted slogans against the civic body for failing to constitute the committees.

They questioned the intention of the corporation and councillors who were hesitating to form the committees as required by the law.

They said that probably the councillors were scared that the formation of the committees would take away their importance and it would strengthen the civil society members in wards.

The activists said that though the council secretary of the corporation in a letter to the party mentioned that a three-member House committee with Lancelo Pinto (chairman), A.C. Vinayraj and Naveenchandra K. (members) had been constituted to take a decision, the letter did not mention anything about the decision taken by the committee.

The party on October 7, 2014, submitted a memorandum to the Urban Development Minister Vinay Kumar Sorake to constitute the committees.

Kalaburagi, Mar 7: Congress and JDS MLAs are eagerly waiting to join BJP, said former minister and chairman of Nijasharana Ambigara Choudaiah Abhivradhi Nigama, Baburao Chinchansur, here on Friday.

Speaking at a press conference here, Baburao said if the BJP top brass gives a green signal to include MLAs of other parties, both Congress and JDS would be almost empty. Many leaders, including D K Shivakumar and G Parameshwara, won’t support Siddaramaiah and the former CM will have to find his own way in the coming days, he predicted. He said Congress will not be coming to power in Karnataka for the next 20 years, he said.

Chinchansur thanked Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa for providing Rs 50 crore for Nijasharana Ambigara Choudaiah Abhivrudhi Nigama in the budget. He also said that a delegation will be taken to New Delhi under the leadership of the CM, after the budget session, to pressure the Union government to include Koli community in ST category.
