Mangalore, June 3: Alternate political forces that came into picture in the past to form a pro-people government challenging Congress, BJP, and JDS did experience failure. But in Karnataka Praja Pragati Ranga, the state has a formidable political alternative to the existing political system as it encompasses people's representation from a wider section of the society, said Kodihalli Chandrashekhar, President of the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and State President of the Karnataka Praja Pragati Ranga.

He was speaking at the regional workers' conference of Karnataka Praja Pragati Ranga in Mangalore on Sunday.

Stating that the entire political system had turned corrupt, Mr. Chandrashekhar said that unless power is transferred to people, change will not come about in society. “More than half of MLAs in Karnataka Assembly are people who should have been behind bars. Political parties have spoiled the procedure of elections through cash and liquor distribution. They create drunkards out of innocent women and youth through their election campaigns. A strong public awakening is the need of the hour”, he said.

Owing to the domination of political parties like Congress, BJP, and JDS, elected representatives turn into the voice of their respective parties instead of being a voice of the section of the society that they are supposed to represent, Mr. Chandrashekhar lamented. The Karnataka Praja Pragati Ranga intends to put an end to this tradition and field candidates that would truly represent the people and the marginalized, he said.

Lolaksha, AHINDA leader and State Convenor, Karnataka Praja Pragati Ranga, in his address said that behind the façade of being the world's largest democracy, successive governments have been ill-treating the backward classes, minorities and marginalized sections of the society. “Pro-people activists' struggle has confined to mere submitting of appeals to elected representatives and Deputy Commissioners which will not solve the problem. The solution lies in transfer of power into the hands of pro-people activists”, he said.

Ilyas Thumbe, State President, Popular Front of India and member of executive board, Praja Pragati Ranga, Abdul Majid Kodlipete, State President of Social Democratic Party of India and Convenor, Praja Pragati Ranga, Venkata Swamy, President, Samata Sainik Dal and member of executive board, Praja Pragati Ranga, R Mohan Raj, State President, DSS (Bhimavada) and member of executive board, Praja Pragati Ranga, were among the dignitaries present non the occasion.

Bengaluru, Jul 10: Alarmed by the surging COVID-19 cases across the state, especially in Bengaluru, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday urged the state capital’s residents not to visit their villages to prevent the infection’s spread.

“I urge the people of Bengaluru not to travel to their villages and prevent the infection from spreading in rural areas,” Yediurappa told reporters.

Admitting that the battle against the virus would be long, he said that the fight against COVID-19 could be won only through persistent efforts and with people’s cooperation with the frontline ‘warriors’.

“Combating the pandemic through preventive measures, providing treatment to the infected and saving lives are our priority,” he said.

With a record 2,228 positive cases on Thursday, the southern state’s COVID-19 tally shot up to 31,105, including 17,782 active cases, while 457 people have died of the infection till date, 17 just in the last 24 hours.

Of the new cases in the state, Bengaluru accounted for 1,373, taking its tally to 13,882, including 10,870 active, while 177 have succumbed to the virus since March 9.

No deaths were, however, reported in the city on Thursday.

Of the 457 patients in intensive care units (ICU) across the state, 292 are in Bengaluru hospitals.

Since unlock began on June 1, COVID-19 cases shot up to 15,242 on June 30 from 3,221 on May 31 and to 31,105 in 9 days since July 1.

Similarly, in Bengaluru, positive cases shot up to 4,555 on June 30 from 358 on May 31 and rose to 13,882 in 9 days since July 1.

The Chief Minister also appealed to all legislators of the ruling and opposition parties to give priority to contain the disease in their Assembly segments.

“Visit the COVID-19 designated hospitals and inspect if the required facilities are in place and bring any shortcomings to our notice,” the CM said
