Udupi, Oct 16: Udupi-Chikkamagalur MP Shobha Karandlaje has alleged that Popular Front of India (PFI) has been trying to provoke youths in coastal Karnataka to join the extremist outfits like IS.

Speaking to reporters after offering prayers at Hasanamba temple in Hassan district, the BJP leader said that chief minister Siddaramiah led Congress government in Karnataka also backing PFI.

The law and order situation in the state has failed and the government is misusing the Anti Corruption Bureau and the police department, she alleged.

Shobha said that the state government is conducting Tipu jayanti with the intention to garner votes. She said that Tipu jayantineed not be celebrated to only mantain peace and harmony. "With just five months left before the Assembly elections, the Congress party is playing vote bank politics to attract minorities which is not right," she said.

Continuing her tirade, Shobha said that the DySP Ganapathi case was closed without a proper probe. "Minister George and Meti were given clean chits. The organisations conducting the probe have turned into organisations that give clean chits to Congress leaders," she said.

"By waiving farm loans up to Rs 50,000 in cooperative banks, the government has tried to fool farmers. The input subsidy released by the Centre for the crop loss has not reached farmers," she said.

"The government has been claiming that pro-AHINDA (Alpasankhyataru, Hindulidavaru Mattu Dalitaru) has illegally deposited Rs 1,000 crore earmarked for the benefit of backward community students in the banks. The interest is being misused. Is minister Anjaneya not aware of it," she questioned.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Several state Congress leaders, including its President D K Shivakumar, among others, were detained by police as they tried to march towards Raj Bhavan here against the alleged attempts by BJP to topple the party's government in Rajasthan.

Shivakumar, along with Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, state Congress Working President Eshwar Khandre, Salim Ahmed among others were stopped by the police midway as they marched from KPCC office towards Raj Bhavan.

Congress leaders then staged a dharna at the place where they were stopped. Addressing the gathering, Shivakumar accused the BJP of trying to "murder" democracy by destabilizing and removing elected governments.

"We wanted to protest against it and submit a memorandum to the President through the Governor," but the Karnataka government by using police was not letting them proceed towards Raj Bhavan, he said. "Despite our being a peaceful protest, the police stopped us," he said.

Siddaramaiah, echoing similar views, said peaceful protests against injustice was the right of every citizen. Alleging that the BJP was attempting to destabilise and remove the elected government in Rajasthan as it did in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, he said the Governor's office there (Rajasthan) was being 'misused'.

The Governor was working like an agent of the central government, he charged. He said, despite repeated appeals by the Rajasthan cabinet, the Governor there had not convened the assembly session, for the floor test to take place and for Congress to prove its majority. Police subsequently detained Shivakumar and some other Congress leaders and took them to a nearby police station.

They were later released. Meanwhile, as the Congress' protest amid Covid19 pandemic did not follow social distancing norms, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar hit out at that party's leaders. In a tweet Sudhakar said, for Congress leaders getting publicity was more important than social concerns.

Bengaluru, May 30: A city corporator in Bengaluru was sent into quarantine on Saturday after he tested positive for the coronavirus infection, officials said.

"Yes, I have tested positive," Padarayanapura municipal ward corporator Imran Pasha told some news channels.

The JDS corporator said he would quarantine himself as per the regulations.

The entire area where Pasha lives was cordoned off.

Health workers reached there in an ambulance and gave him a personal protection gear to wear and he was taken to a designated hospital.

Reacting to the development, Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka claimed Pasha hardly paid heed to the COVID-19 regulations.

"He rushes to all those places wherever there are positive cases...," Ashoka told reporters.

Padarayanapura was declared as a containment zone earlier with a few cases coming to the fore.

It was in this area where some policemen and health workers were attacked when they went to quarantine a few primary and secondary contacts of a COVID-19 patient about a month ago.

Following the incident, about 125 people were arrested, and later quarantined after a few of them tested positive.
