Nature punished Kerala through floods; help only those who don’t eat beef: Chakrapani Maharaj

Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 22: In a shockingly shameless statement at the time when people in flood-hit Kerala are trying to normalise their lives, a pro-Sangh Parivar godman has appealed to ‘help only those who do not eat beef’.

The statement by Chakrapani Maharaj at the time of distress has left the Kerala flood victims insulted. Rains, floods and landslides have claimed more than 370 lives in the southern state since May 30 following monsoon rainfall.

The deluge had hit all the 14 districts of Kerala. More than 54.11 lakh people in Kerala were affected due to the massive floods. At a time of such distress when efforts should be made to help those who have lost almost everything in floods, attempts are being made to spark a divide. One such voice is of Chakrapani Maharaj.

“I am also appealing for help in Kerala. But help should be given to those who respect nature and creatures. When roti was available to people in Kerala, they were slaughtering the cow to eat her meat. So, what I mean is that Hindus should provide help to those who avoid cow meat,” Chakrapani told a news agency.

“Those who are trying to hurt the Hindu religion by deliberating eating cow and slaughtering her on the road should not be forgiven.” When media persons confronted the self-styled godman, Chakrapani continued to defend his insensitive ‘don’t help beef eaters’ comment.

He added that the floods in Kerala were caused due to cow slaughtering in the state. Nature punishes those who commit sin on this Earth, said Chakrapani.

He added that the people of Kerala should punish those leaders who slaughtered cows on roads. “Nature punished Kerala through floods and because of some wrong people, innocents have also suffered in Kerala.”

The self-styled godman reiterated that people who eat beef should not receive any help. If they have to be provided for help, they should be asked to sign a pledge that they would never eat beef in the future, he added.

The Centre has already declared the floods in Kerala a "calamity of severe nature". All efforts are being made to help the state in the mammoth task of reconstruction of devastated infrastructure and rehabilitation of lakhs of people. The United Arab Emirates has offered Rs 700 crore relief for the relief and rehabilitation work.

518 private hospitals across Karnataka can now treat covid patients

Agencies

June 21,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 21: As many as 518 private hospitals and medical colleges empanelled under the Suvarna Arogya Suraksha Trust (SAST) have been allowed to treat Covid-19 patients in Karnataka amid rising cases, an official said on Saturday.

"These 518 institutions across the state empanelled under ABArK are permitted to admit and treat Covid patients as per government protocols and criteria," the health official said.

The private hospitals can treat patients only if referred by public authorities such as BBMP Commissioner, Health department Director, District Health Officers and others.

In Bengaluru, there are 44 such empanelled private facilities. The entire list is available at www.arogya.karnataka.gov.in and also on the Health Department's website.

The hospitals will be paid an appropriate package rate for Covid management, said the official.

The state has not barred private hospitals from treating Covid patients but they have to mandatorily report all positive cases.

"Due to increasing number of Covid cases in the state, it was decided to involve private hospitals in treatment of such patients," said Additional Chief Secretary Jawaid Akhtar.

Nalin Kumar Kateel hits out at Kharge for anti-Modi remark

News Network

February 10,2020

Chitradurga, Feb 10: President of the BJP State unit Nalin Kumar Kateel on Sunday hit out at Congress leader M. Mallikarjun Kharge for allegedly likening Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a “zero candle bulb”.

Mr. Kateel told reporters here that Mr. Modi was a “1,000 watt bulb that gave light to the world”, and compared Mr. Kharge to a lamp that had burned out politically.

Mr. Kateel charged that Mr. Kharge had become frustrated after losing the elections and after his party did not even consider him for a Rajya Sabha seat. And this had made the Congress leader to make wild charges against the Prime Minister.

Lashing out at the Congress, Mr. Kateel alleged that the Congress was continuing the “divide and rule” policy of the British and accused the former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda of being the “other face of the Congress”.

Mr. Kateel also came down on the former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. He ridiculed the Congress for the delay in choosing a new KPCC chief after Dinesh Gundu Rao submitted his resignation.

Withdraw amendments to Land Reforms Act or face protest: Gowda to BSY

coastaldigest.com news network

July 28,2020

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.
