Addressing the protesters in front of DC office, MLC?Motamma questioned the double standards' of Prime Minister?Narendra Modi who kept mum during a series of attacks on Dalits and others in the garb of cow vigilantes were reported in the country and spoke only after Dalits boycotted BJP rallies in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.

Ms. Motamma said members of groups such as Bajrang Dal and Hindu Jagran Vedike were continuing with their attacks on Dalits in Karnataka and other parts of the country.

She said that instead of showing “lip sympathy,” Mr Modi should take action to help Dalits solve their economic and social troubles.

Referring to the recent incident at Shantipura in Chikkamagaluru district, where a youth was roughed up for bringing beef, that led to disfiguring of his hands and legs, Motamma called the attackers inhuman. Going a step ahead, she also described the right wing activists as man-eaters', who are under the illusion that they are the only protectors of cows.

All India Congress Committee member P.V. Mohan said Mr. Modi was speaking against attacks on Dalits to get more votes in the forthcoming Assembly elections in UP. “It is no surprise to hear the PM speak against attacks on Dalits. He is aware that they form a big vote base,” he said.

Mangaluru South MLA J R Lobo called on the party workers to instil confidence in the minds of Dalits, by visiting their colonies. The Dalits are a traumatised lot now, living under constant fear, he added.

Earlier a rally was taken out from Town Hall to the deputy commissioners office. Chief Whip in the Legislative Council Ivan D'Souza, Mangaluru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) Chairman Ibrahim Kodijal – who is also the acting president of Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee – and others were present.

Only Mischievous does not want to understand this crocodile cry from Modi. if they understand their jobs of looting, hitting innocent, raping and other evil acts will be lost...
Fear the one who created U and me and all that exists... He has given life and he will account our deeds and will judge with justice.
Dont think U will get away with it.
Sudar jao... RSS will not come to rescue you when angel of death comes with all the evil deeds...
God is all forgiving .. He forgives every sin except associating partners with him... So ask forgiveness and repent and promise to never commit mischief to others again... God forgive every sincere repentance... God is great.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.

Mangaluru, Apr 28: Trucks carrying fish loads from Kerala will not be allowed to enter Dakshina Kannada district as the authorities are not being able to control the rush in markets, state Fisheries Minister and district-in-charge Kota Srinivas Poojary said Monday.

The deputy commissioner has been instructed to restrict the entry of fish transport vehicles from outside the district forthwith, in view of the difficulty in maintaining social distancing at the markets identified in the district, the minister told reporters here.

The coastal district has to take more precautionary measures to fight COVID-19 as the number of positive cases have risen in the last couple of days, he said.

Bengaluru, Jun 2: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday claimed 70 per cent of the people of the country want Narendra Modi to not only complete the current term, but also want him as the Prime Minister for the next term.

He also called PM Modi "iron leader" for scrapping Article 370 that terminated special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

"70 per cent of the people of this nation want Narendra Modiji not only to complete this term, but also want him as the Prime Minister for the next term, so that he can find solution to the problems faced by this country. This is the aspiration of the young India," he said.

Mr Yediyurappa said PM Modi has successfully completed one year of the second term and the country is surging ahead in the path of progress under his "exceptional and far-sighted leadership."

"The Prime Minister is leading the country forward towards development with his Sab Ka Saath, Sab Ka Vikas, Sab Ka Vishwas principle and inclusive schemes," he said, adding that PM Modi is spearheading the cause of building a "strong and self-reliant Bharath."

Speaking to reporters in the backdrop of the one year of the Modi government''s second term in office, the chief minister said Modi is recognised as an exceptional leader not only in India, but also at the global level, through his mantra - Vasudaiva Kutumbakam.

Mr Yediyurappa termed the PM "iron leader" for scrapping Article 370 that terminated special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and formation of Jammu- Kashmir and Ladakh as Union Territories.

He listed the key decisions of the BJP-led central government such as banning the practice of triple talaq among Muslims, the Vande Bharath Mission, the Citizenship Amendment Act, one country-one ration card scheme, new Motor Vehicle Act, besides also "finding solution to Ram Mandir issue" , among others.

Mr Yediyurappa said PM Modi's decision has played a decisive role in dealing with the COVID-19 situation in India. He has competently handled a huge challenge of combating the coronavirus in a country with a population of 130 crore.

"He implemented the most stringent lockdown restrictions in the world to control the spread of COVID-19 and achieved remarkable success," he said, and lauded the Rs 20 lakh crore package that has been announced to revive the economy amid the pandemic.

"Modiji also supported the State during the devastating floods last year.....the state government is determined to develop Karnataka deriving inspiration from our Prime Minister''s efficiency."
