Mangalore, October 31: Ruling out the land grab charges on Dakshina Kannada district in-charge and higher education minister C T Ravi, leaders of BJP district committee said that the party and its cadres are firmly behind him, and would support and defend him against all labeled charges or allegations.

 

Addressing a press meet here on Tuesday MLC and BJP spokesperson Monappa Bhandary condemned Congress leader and former MLA Vijayakumar Shetty's allegations against that Ravi had acquired 150 acres of forest land near Marle village in Chikmagalur district illegally. “Mr Shetty's allegations against Ravi are childish,” he said.

 

"Mr Shetty, who has been sidelined in Congress has made allegation only to secure a seat in the upcoming election. Neither Ravi, nor BJP is afraid of the Congress leader's threat of holding black flag protest against Ravi. Let Vijayakumar Shetty keep in mind a fact that BJP has the experience of holding and countering protests," Mr Bhandary said.

 

He also dared AICC president Sonia Gandhi to make public the detailed accounts on all scams including 2G spectrum, Commonwealth Games, Coalgate, Adarsh Society, rice import and others.

Bengaluru,  Jul 22: Karnataka Congress president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday said that the state government should give details of the amount it spent on migrants and labourers during the coronavirus crisis if it is transparent.

"The image of Karnataka has come to a very rotten position. We all know that Karnataka has failed in sorting out the problem. Let them (the state government) tell what has been the amount spent on the labour, migrants, food kits on the health department. We want an account (of the expenditure) if they are so transparent," Shivakumar said.

He said that the state government should have approached the hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients and if any hospital refused, a message should have been given that the government would take it over.

He also accused the state government of corruption.

Koppal, Aug 3: The activists of Popular Front of India (PFI) have won the heart of the people by performing the last rites of a local leader of Bharatiya Janata Party in Koppla district of Karnataka. 

Somashekhara Gowda, a senior BJP leader in Koppal’s Gangavathi died of covid-19. His family members were reportedly quarantined. His own party activists also were not ready to participate in the last rite due to the fear of coronavirus infection.

Following requests, a team of PFI comprised of district secretary Fayaz, and members Yaseen, Abdul Aalam, Shamid Razi and Husain Azarauddin performed the last rites as per Veerashaiva Lingayat traditions. 

Speaking to media persons PFI district president Zaheer Abbas lamented that people still have plenty of misconceptions about covid-19. “Due to the misconceptions, performing the last rites of those who die of covid-19 has become a challenge,” he said.

He said that PFI activists followed all the health guidelines and took necessary precautions while performing the last rites. “Under the guidance of district health officials and with the consent of the family members of the deceased, the last rites were performed as per Veerashaiva Lingayat traditions,” he said.
