Vijayapura, Aug 25: Senior BJP leader and Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, who is known for his controversial and communally provocative remarks, said on Friday that Kerala was being punished with floods as it was a state of beef-eaters.

"If Hindu sentiments are provoked, then dharma will punish them. For instance, see what happened in Kerala, a state where people openly butcher calves... a state known as god's own country. Floods have occurred in that state within one year of conducting the beef festival," said Yatnal.

In June last year, Kerala MLAs had held a "beef festival" at the assembly canteen to protest against a central notification banning cattle trade and slaughter.

Yatnal went on to add that state BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa would become chief minister again. "As and when BJP comes to power in the state, cow slaughter will be prohibited," he said.

The MLA also criticised CM HD Kumaraswamy for "visiting masjid and temple" instead of addressing the grievances of those affected by floods.

Sir, we are in agreement with your statement linking Beef to Flood in Kerala, i believe you are aware that  poor cows and buffallos also dead in Kerala due to heavy rains and flood this year, this happened after they select one BJP representative to Kerala assembly.

By the way "Dharma" punihsed Coorg also for the same reason OR anything else?

Bengaluru, Apr 27: Janata Dal-Secular leader and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the government should work towards lowering the cost of living as the spending power of the consumer has weakened, and it should impose COVID cess on the ultra-rich.

"The economy won't bounce back within a very short period. It is important to lower the cost of living as the spending power of the consumer has depleted. The government must cut the petrol/diesel prices. The loss of revenue may be offset partially by imposing COVID cess on the ultra-rich," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"According to RBI and international economic assessment agencies, the GDP growth rate of the country is expected to fall to a historic low. Such a dire situation calls for citizen-centric measures like full or partial waivers of EMIs, rents, school fees, and other levies," he added.

Kumaraswamy further said that the government must announce schemes to save the livelihoods of people, especially those in the unorganised sector.

"It is high time the government announced schemes to save livelihoods of people, especially those in the unorganised sector. The government must provide immediate relief to farmers, construction workers, cab and auto drivers, garment workers, etc," the former Karnataka CM tweeted.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) had said on April 23 that India's economic growth is likely to hover between zero and 1.5 per cent in the current financial year as the extended COVID-19 lockdown slows down activity across most sectors.

India is under a nation-wide lockdown which was imposed on March 25 and later extended on April 14 to May 3 to stem the spread of coronavirus.

Mangaluru, Jan 23: City Police Commissioner PS Harsha on Thursday said that Aditya Rao, who had surrendered after planting a bomb at the Mangaluru International Airport, had studied how to assemble an explosive device online.

Speaking to media persons here, Dr Harsha said that 36-year-old Rao, who holds engineering and MBA degrees, had worked in the financial sector for some time, but left, after realising that white-collar jobs were not suited for him and turned towards blue-collar jobs.

He took up a job as a security guard of a reputed college in the district. He also worked at few hotels in the city before leaving for Bengaluru.
