Mangalore, August 10: Dr B R Ambedkar Pratishthan has come out in strong support of making MLC B S Veeraiah, Mudigere MLA M P Kumarswamy, and Haveri MLA Nehru Olekar ministers in DV Sadanada Gowda cabinet.

Addressing a press meet here on Wednesday, Pratishthan President Shivappa Renkadagutthu said that the trio should represent the Scheduled Caste in the BJP led Government of Karnataka.

He said that four-time MLA N Yogish Bhat, and popular MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary, should also be included in the cabinet to represent Konkani and Billava community respectively.

However, Mr Renkadagutthu accused Dakshina Kannada District In-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar of being “blind” to the problems of the Dalit community. “Palemar was a complete failure in solving the troubles faced by the oppressed classes of our society,” he said.

“On what basis has Palemar been appointed as a minister?” he questioned adding that Pratishthan demands a justification from the Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda for including him in the cabinet.

Mr Renkadagutthu also said that Congress led Union Government should be dissolved as it was engulfed by corruption and scandals such as 2G scam.

Lauding B S Yedyurappa's decision to quit as chief minister after being involved in the mining scam, he advised the Centre to “learn” from him. He also requested the new CM to continue the good works initiated by his predecessor Mr Yeddyurappa.

New Delhi, Mar 20: An official of South Western Railway has been suspended for "hiding" her son, who returned from Germany and later tested positive for coronavirus.

The youth has been hiding at a railway guest house in Bengaluru, officials said on Friday.

"She (the railway official) not only failed to inform authorities about her son's return from Germany, but also endangered the lives of others by lodging him in a railway rest house near the main Bangalore railway station," railway spokesperson E Vijaya said.

The Assistant Personnel Officer (Traffic) has been suspended, Vijaya said.

The 25-year-old man, who came from Germany via Spain and was instructed to be in home quarantine after he landed at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru on March 13, later tested positive for Covid-19 on March 18.

"She virtually hid her son to protect her family but endangered all of us," a South Western Railway official said.
