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, Mar 31: With the Dakshina Kannada district administration relaxing the lockdown from 6 am to 3 pm to purchase essential commodities, panic-stricken citizens rushed to the shops early in the morning itself.

The citizens had formed a serpentine line in front of shops and supermarkets in different parts of Mangaluru and on the outskirts of the city to purchase their requirements.

As a precautionary measure, many were seen wearing masks.

“In spite of waiting in a long queue to purchase, we are not able to get the required essential commodities. Why can’t the district administration ensure enough stock of commodities in the shops and supermarkets,’’ asked a customer who had stood in a queue outside a supermarket at Chilimbi.
People were seen crowding outside markets at Kankanady, Mallikatte, Urwa and Central Market, violating the purpose of social distancing.

Consequently, vegetable prices have increased in the markets and shops. This is despite abundant stocks being available in these markets.

Trucks had unloaded the vegetables at Central Market on Sunday, according to sources. The prices of onions are skyrocketing yet again and is sold from Rs 50 to Rs 55 while a kg of carrot costs Rs 100.

"Why can’t the authorities check the rise in the price of vegetables and ensure that the poor are not inconvenienced," asks Lakshmi, a housewife.
