Mangaluru, Mar 25: Mithun Rai, the Congress candidate for Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha constituency, today filed his nomination papers for next month’s general elections. Janata Dal (Secular) also has extended support to Mr Rai as per seat sharing deal between the two parties.

Prior to the filing of nomination, the president of Dakshina Kannada Youth Congress flaunted his strength as the workers of both Congress and JD(S) took out a massive rally from Town Hall to the deputy commissioner’s office. 

At a party workers’ convention held at Town Hall, Rai thanked all senior leaders, especially D K Shivakumar for proposing his name to contest from Dakshina Kannada seat and supporting him. 

“I am thankful to all senior Congress leaders, who unanimously suggested my name to contest from here. I remember the words of my guru in politics D K Shivakumar, who used to tell me that ‘a leader is the one who makes another leader, not followers,” he said.

He also thanked KPCC president Dinesh Gundo Rao, coalition coordination committee chairman Siddaramaiah, deputy chief minister G Parameshwara, JD(S) chief HD Deve Gowda and chief minister HD Kumaraswamy.

Shivamogga, Jul 24: The protest by Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) under the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) entered its 14th day on Friday demanding personal protective equipment (PPE) kits and a salary of at least Rs 12,000 per month.

They have been protesting in different parts of Karnataka since July 10.

Staging a protest in front of the deputy commissioner's office, the ASHA workers complained of the government turning a deaf ear to their problems.

Clad in their signature pink saris, they raised slogans to demand appropriate salary for their work and the necessary equipment to protect them from the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. 

They said that they worked tirelessly during the COVID-19-induced lockdown without any safety. The department only provided them with sub-standard equipment to combat the deadly virus. All they were asking for is a basic pay of Rs 12,000 against the current pay of Rs 6,000.

Prema, an ASHA said, "The authorities are praising our work, clapping for us and showering flowers on us but are not listening to our grievances."

Amidst heightened border tensions between Indian and China, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's two year old tweet comparing his party with Communist Party of China started going viral. 

The tweet, dated 26 June, 2016 reads: "Communist Party of China & BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties." (sic)

Twitterati dug up this tweet after over 20 Indian Army personnel, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week.

Soon after Chouhan's tweet went viral, netizens took to the micro-blogging site and slammed BJP. One user said, "Interesting comment by Hindutva ITSELF to recognise how similar they are with China. No doubt. Both believe in Dragon Throne .... and brutal absolute control." Another user said, "No wonder the BJP & China both agree that PLA never crossed into Indian territory."
