When a large number of BJP?workers were returning from the burial ground in Kyathamaranahalli, some miscreants pelted stones at them, leading to a counter attack. The Police burst tear gas shells to control the mob. However, local residents accused that BJP workers themselves pelted stones on other BJP workers to create a reason for the riot.

Stop propogating lies as RSS Do . Shimoga violence was ignited by RSS at the end of the rally tale where Women and children were moving along with ...all of a sudden RSS started pelted stones using abusive words which was leaked one of RSS goons video clips....dont play with lies ,,by which you will end up life like Hitler

JAI PFI....and Mr.Shafi Bellare clearly given statement that we have nothing to do with such incident

SayYes to PEACE and INTEGRITY and ISayNo to Lies, Drama to smritiirani and Communal Violence Mastermind is narendramodi

we want safety n security frm daily communal violence,punishment to rioters n rapists

Well modi took us down the wrong path. A path littered with hate, communal violence, intolerance

We need #Azaadi from political pressure groups that instigate communal violence for their own ulterior motives.

I do not support BJP because of their communal politics. I do not support CPM because of their politics of violence:

This is a case of inciting violence and disrupting communal harmony. Pretty sure there are grounds for arrests.

Any Party take the advantage of the poor people for their gain, give respect to the life, Humanity,.

Majority communalism, dangerous in itself, becomes deadly when it becomes the official ideology of the state

RSS is National enemy within. For it Communal violence is not blood of fellow Indians, it is additional votes generated

You find religion in Bharat Mata Ki Jai. But No religion in Allah Hu Akbar during hate speaches and communal violence.

I can't say it often enough: Fascism IS violence. When anti-fascists respond with communal self-defense, it is a heroic action.

Despite of serious communal violence ignited by PFI in shimoga, they r given permission 2 hold rally in Mysuru today Ban PFI,a terrorist outfit

Peaceful Mysuru city is witnessing violence.

I am a strong advocate of non-violence. And it is sad that an RSS man was killed in Mysuru!

Politics even in death, these politicians play!

see goons !!!!

Home Minister and Police dept must take strict action against trouble maker first including the person and groups behind murder. And on groups like BD and their god father, no excuse straight away send them behind bar at least for 6 months.

With in SIX months, all we can experience permanent peace of life all over KARNATAKA.

Universities must conduct backlog exams for final semester students: Karnataka Dy CM

News Network

August 4,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 4: With preparations underway for conducting exams for the final semester/ year students in the state, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr CN Ashwathnarayan on Monday directed the respective universities to conduct exams for the backlog papers as well.

"In the wake of COVID-19, it has been decided to hold exams only for the students of final semester/year courses. It has come to our notice that some universities have decided against conducting exams for final year students who have a backlog to clear from previous semesters. This is unpardonable," the Deputy Chief Minister said.

"Our intention is to see that the final year students finish their course. In the present situation, conducting only final semester exams won't help. We have to help the students in clearing their backlogs," added Ashwathnarayan, directing all universities to compulsorily conduct these exams.

Meanwhile, Ashwathnarayan thanked the staff and officials of various government departments who were responsible for successfully conducting the CET exams even amidst the difficult situation in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

"In all, 1,94,419 students had registered for the CET exams, of which 1,75,428 wrote the exams. The percentage of students who took up the exams this year was equivalent to that of the previous years, in normal times," the DCM informed.

"After we successfully conducted the exams, Arunachal Pradesh is going to conduct the Public Service Commission exams on the lines of how we successfully conducted the exams. Likewise, even our KPSC has said it will conduct the exams. We must appreciate the good work of the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), which has set an example for others," Ashwathnarayan said.

The deputy chief minister said that 33 colleges in various districts across the state faced shortage of land and that it is the responsibility of the District Commissioners (DCs) to get the lands sanctioned for all these colleges.
In Bagalkot district alone land has not been sanctioned for six degree colleges, he said.

Reacting to this, Bagalkot DC Captain Rajendra assured to look into the matter as soon as he receives the proposal from department officials.

"Similarly, there is shortage of land for five Diploma colleges and 28 ITI colleges in different parts of the state. The DCs must immediately pay attention to this. Once they get the land, buildings will come up within no time," the Karnataka deputy chief minister said.

Karnataka Cabinet expansion in three days: BSY

News Network

January 24,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 24: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said the much-delayed Cabinet expansion will take place in the next three days.

At the Kempegowda International Airport, after his arrival from Davos, he informed that he would discuss the matter with Union Home Minister Amit Shah to take a final decision on the distribution of important portfolios.

Deputy CM Ashwanath Narayna, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai and others received the Chief Minister at the airport. The issue of Cabinet expansion was kept in abeyance, ever since the spectacular victory of 12 Assembly seats for BJP, for which the by-elections were held recently. The bypolls were necessitated, following the resignation of about 17 sitting Congress and JD (S) MLAs, which resulted in the collapse of the JDS-Congress coalition government in the state.

BJP had reportedly lured the Congress and JD (S) MLAs into their camp, after promising them to give party ticket to contest the elections, as well as ministerial berths. The Chief Minister had kept as many as 16 Cabinet berths, along with plum portfolios, vacant, after forming the BJP government, with the support of the deserted Congress and JD (S) MLAs, in July last. However, the issue of Cabinet expansion had postponed on one reason or the other, as Yediyurappa was struggling to keep the promise he had made to the former Congress and the JDS MLAs, on whose sacrifice the BJP came back to power.

With the strong demand for ministerial berths within the loyal BJP MLAs, the BJP high command had reportedly advised Yediyurappa to accommodate only a few of the turncoat MLAs and strike balance between the groups.

However, Yediyurappa, who had assured the Congress and JD (S) MLAs of giving them Cabinet berths, had been in dilemma ever since and found it tough to convince the party's Central leaders.

According to party sources, the Chief Minister is not only facing problems over the expansion of his Cabinet, but is also worried over the demand for creation of more number of Deputy Chief Ministers, adding to the present list of three.
