Rahul Gandhi’s name is in Church; when did he become Brahmin: Shobha Karandlaje

Chikkamagaluru, Nov 29: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has accused AICC president Rahul Gandhi of having tried to woo people when he stated in Kashmir that he was a Dattatreya Brahmin.

“Rahul Gandhi made such a statement in spite of the fact that his name is registered in a church,” said the BJP state general secretary.

Karandlaje was addressing a press meet in Chikkamagaluru on Wednesday.

She said that the caste certificate is obtained on the basis of the father’s caste. “When did Rahul Gandhi obtain a caste certificate that stated him to be a Brahmin?” she challenged.

Speaking further, the MP said, “Considering Rahul’s father’s caste, calling himself a Dattatreya Brahmin is illogical. It is shocking to find that the national president of the Congress party would give such a statement when elections are nearing.”

The BJP state secretary also took a dig at Rahul Gandhi’s statement that the temple run is not a new thing for him. “He has done it in Karnataka too. He is only continuing it in other states, keeping in mind elections in five states,” said Karandlaje.

She said that the election manifesto of the Congress for state elections is aimed at appeasement of the minority.

“When the MLAs demand funds for development work, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy points at farmers, saying the money is required to waive farmers’ loans.

The chief minister should reveal how many farmers’ loans have been waived and in which banks,” she demanded.

She also demanded a white paper from the state government on the state of the economy of Karnataka.

Mangaluru | Covid safety norms flouted during new Gurupura bridge inauguration

coastaldigest.com news network

June 12,2020

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.
