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, Jul 30: As the protest by Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers entered the 20th day, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesday assured them that he would take up their demands with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.

The ASHA workers are sitting in protests with a number of demands that include a minimum salary of Rs 12,000 per month.

Assuring that their matter will be taken up, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu said while speaking to reporters, "We know how hard ASHA workers have been working as frontline warriors in the fight against COVID-19. I will discuss with CM about their demand for a minimum wage of Rs 12,000 per month and the final decision will be taken soon."

"We went to the police to allow us to protest. Officials then took us to the CM. During the meeting, he demanded some time to sort out our issues. 

We told him we are protesting for the past 20 days and that it was he who needs to call a meeting with us. Only then will he know the problems being faced by ASHA workers," an ASHA worker said clad in her signature pink sari.

"When asked as to why salaries of ASHA workers were not hiked, while it was done for doctors and other healthcare officials, the CM requested for time to look into the matter. 

We are not much happy now, but will if he comes in front of the media and promises to sort out our issues, then we will listen to him", she added.
