Udupi, February 9: Activists in Udupi BJP belonging to Rajapur Saraswath Brahmin (RSB) community on Wednesday protested infront of the district BJP office for denying the ZP President's seat to senior BJP member Upendra Nayak.

Interestingly Upendra Nayak too participated in the protest where the demonstrators locked the doors of the BJP office and gheraod the BJP President and others officers.

Speaking on the occasion Sadananda Prabhu, a close associate of Upendra Nayak said that their community had been a staunch supporter of BJP for many years. Inspite of the repeated assurances till Tuesday evening, BJP leaders ditched the community by announcing the name of Shankar Poojary to the post.

They also threatened that several gram panchayath members and a few taluk panchayath members would resign protesting against the discrimination against their community.

The issue was temporarily resolved after several rounds of deliberations with MLAs Raghupathi Bhat, Lalaji R Mendon and District BJP President Udaya Kumar Shetty and Somashekhara Bhat.

At the meeting held inside the party office too agitators reported to have threw chairs and demanded justice to their community.

ZP President Katapady Shankar Poojary, immediately after his election announced the name of Upendra Nayak for the post of leader of the BJP members group in the Zilla Panchayath.

Udaya Kumar Shetty said that Shankar Poojary rightly deserved the post as he had been active in the party since over 30 years. “In politics, it is not wrong to expect a position. But here Shankar Poojary's seniority was rightly honoured. It is a decision of the BJP core committee in the district.” Shetty said.

Bengaluru, May 2: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar has urged Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to help the farmers in sending their produce to a market here amid the coronavirus lockdown.

The Congress leader made the appeal to the Chief Minister after listening to the farmers' issues while visiting KR Puram market on Friday.

Farmers told Shivakumar that the police are stopping their vehicles going towards the market despite the order passed by the Centre permitting the movement of vehicles carrying essential commodities during the lockdown.

"I have received calls from more than 100 farmers in the past few days. Every day, farmers from Kolar, Chikballapur, Malur and many other places come to KR Puram market to sell their agricultural goods, but their vehicles are stopped by the police. The cops do not allow them to sell fruits and vegetables. I request the Chief Minister to look into the matter and help the farmers," Shivakumar told reporters.

"I got to know that more than 50 vehicles were sent back. This government is of no use if they cannot secure the interests of the farmers. This government is not providing required support to the farmers," he added.

The Congress leader was accompanied by MLC Narayana Swamy and former president of Hoskote Authority Narayana Gowda during the visit to KR Puram market.
