Mangalore/ Udupi, February 26: Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda has hinted that national issues would be prime poll agenda for impending Udupi-Chikmagalur Loksabha seat, instead of local issues or problems.

Addressing the BJP workers convention organised at Kaup near Udupi on Sunday evening, the CM said that national concerns like India's internal security, intrusion by foreigners, misusing the constitutional bodies like CBI by Congress led Union government and CVC etc would be included in the poll agenda.

Mr Gowda said though Congress ruled the State for a period of half a century and JD(S) for a few yeas, development had been negligible. On the other hand BJP's rule in the state for the last four and a half years had brought in tremendous development.

Even though there was dissidence in the State BJP, Mr Gowda said, when it comes to election or development the entire party would fight united.

“Contrary to this, dissidence in Congress is itself a Guinness Record. It's leaders like Siddramaiah, SM Krishna, Mallikarjuna Kharge, Parameshwar do not look at each other's faces. Congress leaders did not even learn a lesson form the past'', he said.

Congress leaders who raise some sundry issue are not ready for discussion on the same in the floor of the house. They stall the proceedings and resort to escapism, he said.

Kaup MLA Lalaji R Mendon, MLCs Kota Srinivas Poojary and Ganesh Karnik, District BJP President Uday Kumar Shetty, Naveen Shetty Kuthyaru, Reshma Uday Shetty and others were present.

Vote for Acharya!

Earliar, after participating the 13th day programmes of Dr VS Acharya's demise, Sadananda Gowda told the media that people would caste their votes in favour of BJP in memory of Dr Acharya.

Youth Budget

Prior to this, speaking to media persons at Mangalore Airport, Mr Gowda said the youth who constitute 40 per cent of population would be given priority in the next State budget.

He said that a new youth policy would be proposed in the next to discuss all the issues pertaining to youth in the public level for a year.

Mangaluru, Apr 13: Struck by the boredom of lockdown imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus, a 17-year old was caught on Sunday trying to sneak his friend out of his apartment complex by stuffing him inside a suitcase, police said.

"A minor, aged 17-years-old, a resident of Orchid Apartment, Balmatta invited his friend, a resident of Motisham Apartment, Pandeshwar to stay with him on April 11, Saturday," said PS Harsha, the Commissioner of Police, Mangaluru.

The friend wanted to return back to his apartment in Pandeshwar the next day but due to strict security put in place, he got inside a large trolley suitcase. Security guards at the apartment, however, got suspicious when they noticed the wobbling of the suitcase that was being wheeled to the gate.

Based on the suspicions, security personnel alerted the residents of the building and opened the suitcase from which they were shocked to find the boy's friend stepping out. Police were later called in.

A case has been registered against the two minors at the East Police station, police said adding that the duo will be produced before the Juvenile Justice Board.
