Mangalore, March 30: The Indian Youth Congress (IYC), the youth wing of Indian National Congress will hold its membership drive through organizational elections in the State from April 25.



Addressing media persons here on Wednesday, Abu Sharma, Lok Sabha Returning Officer of the Indian National Congress said that this was the first time that internal party elections are being held in the Indian National Congress.



He said after completing membership drive, a voters list will be created and elections process for the IYC organization office bearers at booth level will be commenced. This will be followed by elections for office bearers at Assembly Constituency level, the Lok Sabha and the state level.



To ensure fairness in the election process, he said, Rahul Gandhi has requested Foundation for Advanced Management of Elections (FAME), an NGO created by Lyngdoh, former Chief Election Commissioner of India, to audit the membership and election process ensuring it is impartial and open to all.



He said “It is only through these elections that the real leaders will get identified. Leaders who have not risen through a transparent and democratic process cannot be expected to represent the real aspirations and needs of the largest and youngest democracy of the world,”




To become a member of the Indian Youth Congress, one should download membership form from www.iyc.in/karnataka and filled applications should be sent to Lok Sabha Returning Officer with a copy of address proof, ID proof along with membership fee.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Monday took strong exception to the BJP's celebration over completing one year in office and alleged that people are suffering due to anti-people policies of the state government.

In a tweet on Monday, he said that since the last six months pension due to physically challenged, old age and Widow pensions were not paid. He urged the Government Issue emerge order to release pension amounts immediately. It was shameful on the part of the Government to keep the pension amount being kept pending.

This government has no eyes and ears and claiming only challenging years and transparent government, what examples required for them, he questioned.

Bengaluru, Apr 18: Virtually defending the Gowda family for conducting a marriage reportedly defying lockdown restrictions, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Tuesday said it was performed in a simple manner and well within their limits, "for which they are to be congratulated."

"All the necessary permissions were given and the marriage was performed in a simple manner. There is no need to discuss about it. They had done it well within their limits for which I congratulate them," Yediyurappa said to a query from reporters during the post-COVID-19 briefing.

Scores of people had thronged a farmhouse on Friday to get a glimpse of the wedding of former Prime Minister and JD (S) supremo, H D Deve Gowda's grandson Nikhil Kumaraswamy, ignoring appeals not to visit the venue in view of the ongoing lockdown to check the COVID-19 outbreak. Nikhil, son of former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, tied the nuptial knot with Revathi, the grand-niece of former Karnataka housing minister M Krishnappa.

The marriage was solemnised at Kumaraswamy's Kethaganahalli farmhouse at Bidadi in the neighbouring Ramanagara district, a JD(S) stronghold. Kumaraswamy had taken to Twitter after the marriage, thanking his party MLAs, leaders and workers for staying away from the event and blessing his son from their houses. In a series of tweets, he had said social distancing was maintained and all precautionary measures were taken throughout the event.

BJP had hit out at the JD(S) first family for flouting the norms, alleging that at least 150 to 200 vehicles were given permission to attend the event, that too at at time when social workers wanting to serve the badly affected poor people were not being allowed to ply any form of transport JD(S) leader N H Konareddi and MLC T A Sharavanna had denied the charges, saying the union government guidelines had been followed and that social distancing was maintained.
