1poojaryThe development comes after the veteran Congress leader and four-time MP of erstwhile Mangaluru Lok Sabha constituency, held a series of press meets in the district Congress office to criticise the way of functioning of Chief Minister Siddaramiah-led government in the State.

Recently, the 79-year-old Billava stalwart had toed the BJP line in demanding CBI probe into Mangaluru DySP suicide case and accused Mr Siddaramiah of conspiring to finish Congress in Karnataka.

It is learnt that a group of Congress leaders in Dakshina Kannada had complained to Dinesh Gundu Rao, the working president of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, during latter's recent visit to Mangaluru, against Mr Poojary for misusing' the district Congress office to criticise his own party's leaders and government.

On Saturday Mr Poojary had planned to hold a press meet at the Congress office in the city and invited media persons too. However, he had to cancel the press meet at the last minute.

Meanwhile, the straightforward leader has continued his tirade against Mr Siddaramaiah and his government by shifting the venue of his press meet to Mangaluru Press Club. On Tuesday, once again he slammed Siddaramaiah-led government for not seriously considering the ongoing strike by KSRTC employees.

Politics - It is difficult art and task.

Extra cleverness is required when own men err / do mistakes.
No doubt he is a good and honest leader.

Talking in press conference is against any ethics of political party.
He should not have done the press conference against own men.
He should have gone to senior /High command where he is fully a recognized figure.

Politics needs extra cleverness. Just honesty alone does not work in politics and needs common sense of protecting party image.

God help the party.

Bengaluru, May 9: The bar owners in Karnataka, while welcoming the state government's decision to allow takeaway sales of liquor, said that the move is not going to benefit them much.

Venkatesh Babu, a Bengaluru-based bar owner said, "We welcome this move, our bar was closed for two months due to coronavirus crisis. We have been facing losses since then."

"The state government has told us to sell our stocks at maximum retail price (MRP). It is difficult for us to manage as the rent is high and we also have to pay salaries," he added.

The owner of Pingara Bar and Restaurant, Shivamogga said, "The government has said that is for parcel only and that too at MRP. There is no benefit to our business. We are only clearing the existing stock. They have given us time till May 17 and are not even giving us fresh stock. We are only allowed to sell what we have already."

Karnataka government in its Friday order allowed restaurants, pubs and bars to sell liquor at retail prices from May 9 till May 17, the day the third phase of lockdown is slated to end.

Earlier, the government had allowed the opening of liquor shops in order to mobilise revenue.
