Udupi, June 22: BJP activists in Udupi district, as part of the Jail Bharo programme of the state BJP, to protest against 'irresponsible economic policies of the UPA government', courted arrest at all the five assembly constituencies. Jail Bharo programmes were held at Taluk office circle Udupi, Hemmady Bus stop near Byndore, Kaup bus stand, Karkala bus stand and Shastry circle Kundapura assembly constituencies.

Speaking at the Jail Bharo progromme, held at Taluk Office Circle, Udupi, BJP district president Uday Kumar Shetty said that when the rate of petrol at the international market was at 106 dollar per barrel on May 23 last year, the petrol price was at Rs 58 per liter. Today the rate of petrol at the international market remained at Rs 106, but the petrol price in India has increased to Rs 78.20 per liter.

In fact Congress led Government had misled the people by projecting that the increase in the prices of petroleum products was due to petroleum price rise in the international market. In fact rise in the prices was forced due to its irresponsible economical policies and wrong political decisions, Shetty alleged.

Agitators displayed empty LPG cylinders and cooked coffee on the road and tingled PM Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, to display their anguish against the price hike.

Udupi MLA K Raghupathi Bhat, CMC President Kiran Kumar, District BJP Yuva Morcha President Vilas Nayak, Tingale Vikramarjuna Hegde, Shyamala Kundar, Geethanjali Suvarna and others participated in the protest against the UPA government and courted arrest at Udupi BJP activists in Kaup headed by MLA Lalaji R Mendon, ZP President Katapady Shankar Poojary and Kaup BJP President Kuthyar Naveen Shetty staged a protest and courted arrest.

Bengaluru, Mar 24: Underlining the seriousness of the coronavirus, which is spreading like wildfire in Karnataka, renowned Heart Surgeon and founder of Narayana Hrudayalaya Dr Devi Shetty on Tuesday predicted that Karnataka alone will have more than 80,000 people affected with the dreaded killer disease COVID-19 if people fail to protect themselves.

He urged the people to cooperate with the Government in preventing its further spread and immediately treat those who are affected.

Dr Shetty, urging the people to remain indoors and not to venture out, said those who are affected should not come out and remain in isolation even in their houses and take all precautions advised by doctors.

He said if 80,000 people in the state were affected, more than 20,000 need to be admitted to Hospital for treatment.

"More than 2000 affected need to be kept under ventilation and it requires more infrastructure in the hospitals," he said.
