Mangalore, May 22: Normal life in Mangalore was thrown out of gear on Tuesday with police diverting the traffic across the city to facilitate the march of Hindutva activists towards Nehru Maidan, where a state level 'Yuva Jagruti Samavesha' is being organized by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

Thousands of commuters stranded for hours across the city due to the traffic disruption. Elderly men and women stuck in confusion when the city and private buses in which they arrived here from different parts took strange routs.

The traffic diversions began ahead of a grand procession which started at around 2:00 pm from Jyothi Circle. Chief Minister D V Sadanada Gowda, Home and Transport Minister R Ashok, State BJP chief K S Eshwarappa, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, Deputy Speaker of Karnataka Legislative Assembly N Yogish Bhat, Mangalore MP Nalink Kumar Kateel were among those who participated in the rally.

Though the procession formally flagged off at Jyothi Circle, saffron activists came in small processions from various parts of the city adding to the traffic woes. Parking was also prohibited in many places for few hours.

KSRTC buses misused

Hundreds of vehicles were arranged by the ruling BJP to bring people to the convention ground from different parts of district and State. Dozens of KSRTC buses were also seen trafficking people to the Nehru Maidan from other districts.

Bengaluru, Feb 13: UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid quit the Boris Johnson government as part of a cabinet reshuffle unfolding on Thursday and has been replaced by Rishi Sunak, reports said.

Indian-descent Sunak, 39, who is married to Akshata, the daughter of Infosys co-founder N.R. Narayana Murthy, was Chief Secretary to the Treasury since July 2019.

An analyst with Goldman Sachs before joining politics in 2014, Sunak, whose grandparents were from Punjab and emigrated to the UK from east Africa, is MP from Richmond (Yorkshire). He was Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Local Government in the Theresa May government.

Pakistani-descent Javid, who became the first Asian to become a Cabinet Minister when he was made Secretary of State of culture, Media and Sports in the David Cameron government in 2014 after stints as Economic Secretary to the Treasury (2012-13) and Financial Secretary (2013-14), was earlier the Home Secretary in the the Theresa May government.

He had then cleared absconding businessman Vijay Mallya's extradition to India in February last year following the decision by the Westminister Magistrates Court in December 2018.

Javid, who ran for Conservative Party leadership after May quit but lost to Boris Johnson, was made Chancellor by the later. In the reshuffle on Thursday, he was offered to retain his post if he fired all his advisors but declined and quit, the BBC reported.
