Prakash Raj wades Into Mahadayi row, says 'Kannadigas have right to the water'

Wading into the Mahadayi river row, multi-lingual actor Prakash Raj on Thursday said that “we Kannadigas have a right to the water”.

The issue has taken over the political discourse in Karnataka, with pro-Kannada outfits staging a state-wide bandh against the Centre’s inaction over the river sharing dispute with Goa.

The dawn-to-dusk bandh coincides with BJP’s chief Amit Shah’s visit to Mysuru for a public meeting.

Tech giants Wipro and Infosys have declared a holiday for their employees, while passengers have been left stranded at bus depots in Bengaluru.

Metro services in the city remained unaffected. Schools in southern districts of Mandya and Bengaluru will remain shut for the day, but those in northern districts like Gulbarga are functioning as normal.

The pro-Kannada outfits have also called for shutdown in the Congress-ruled state on February 4, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits poll-bound Karnataka.

He is a Naxal Sympathizer . When asked about Cauvery water dispute he supported Tamil Nadu and today he talks about Kannadigas. He has no moral  right to do so.

If you have the right to the water then you should do something for preserving method also. Dont hope by looking other states water. You people cant implement proper method to ensure optimal use, save, presevation,  keeping for future and planting trees getting rain.

I dont think so he will join in political party and contest in election. Basically he is a communist ideology believer and in Karnataka left party alone cant make govt. Congress or other party alliance needed. But no other party wont follow communist ideology (which does not mean communist ideology is bad. I mean congress or other political party doesnt have proper ideology)

He is real hero. No other film actors wont speak about such social issues. All are speak, just for making controversy.

Bengaluru, Jul 22: A 54-year-old man committed suicide at his home, after he learned that he was tested positive for Covid-19, at Devasandra, in Sadashivanagar.

The deceased, Shivamahadeva, ran a cot shop in Yeshwantpur along with his brother. The police said that he was single and was living with his elder brother and his family.

In another incident, a 50-year-old man, committed suicide fearing Covid-19 and the stigma related to the illness.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the state government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household in the wake of the coronavirus spread.

"Karnataka government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household to fight against COVID-19," Kumaraswamy told media.

The JDS leader further stated that "appropriate medication should be provided to those who are "symptomatic" by the Karnataka government and added that "by taking such measures the government can halt the spread of the virus."

If the government is not able to provide the health kit to everyone then at least they should give it to the BPL families, he added.

Kumaraswamy also stressed upon organising awareness campaigns about the coronavirus and use of supplements among the masses to prevent themselves from contracting the infection.

According to the Union Health Ministry, Karnataka has recorded 38,843 cases of COVID-19 to date.
