raiMangaluru, Apr 6: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders are behind the murder of Right To Information activist Vinayak Baliga, according to Dakshina Kannada district in-charge Minister B. Ramanath Rai.

Responding to a question at a press conference here, Mr. Rai said that not only in the Baliga murder case, but the BJP leaders were also behind the murder of Harish Poojary of Bantwal that took place after the Tipu Jayanti celebrations.

The Minister said that he had issued directions to the police to bring to book the guilty behind the gruesome murders.

Speaking earlier, Mr. Rai defended formation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau by the State government and said that the State Cabinet had taken that decision.

“It has nothing to do with the Lokayukta Act and no attempts are being made to weaken the institution,” he said.

There were many States which had both the Lokayukta and the Anti-Corruption Bureau and a few which had only the ACB, he added.

Every evil acts will be exposed...
The Cheddi MEMBERS Should think before they fall into their Cheddi leaders mind wash ... They only guide U to do evil & then U & your family will be trapped for their desire .. Once they got their target ..they will avoid YOU. This has happened with many of them. Now Namo DK leader is on the Run... But how long he will Run...When will he live freely in the society...
Y cant cheddi members use their mind independently and avoid falling to do evil as per your evil masters order.
Think & PONDER ... This beautiful life is not to play & Kill each other. U will only open up & clear your heart When U look into the CREATOR who created U and all... Look for the TRUTH and dont be a part of FALSEHOOD...

Bengaluru, Jul 15: Karnataka Congress Chief D K Shivakumar on Wednesday urged the Ministers in the state to visit Covid-19 designated hospitals and instil confidence among patients, doctors and medical staff there.

Noting that doctors, nurses and others were doing a great job, Shivakumar said the government has to stand with them and instil confidence in them. Speaking to reporters after visiting Victoria hospital, a major dedicated Covid hospital in the city, he said, "All the Ministers have to go to hospitals and instil confidence in the staff, patients.... they have to remove fear and tell them we will have to live with this (virus), and cannot escape from it."

Shivakumar said he believes that by instilling confidence most part of the diseases can be cured. He lauded doctors, paramedical and other staff working at the Hospital for the sake of patients, putting their own life at risk and appreciated facilities provided there.

During the visit, the state Congress President interacted with patients undergoing treatment for Covid-19, also medical staff and doctors. He said at Victoria hospital patients were allowed to use mobile phones, so that they can speak to family members, which has to an extent instilled confidence among them, and the same has to be replicated across the state.

Not wishing to comment on complaints about the quality of facility and PPE kits provided at the hospital, also alleged misappropriation on part of the government in the purchase of equipment for Covid treatment, Shivakumar said, "....let's see that at Vidhana Soudha (seat of state's legislature)." He said, "this is not the time to talk about corruption and other things, this is not the time for it....instilling confidence among patients, doctors and paramedical staff is important now."
