New Delhi, Oct 17: Ahead of next year's Assembly election, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Monday revamped the party's Karnataka unit by appointing 15 district chiefs and nominating a jumbo executive committee.

Rahul also announced a 35-member manifesto committee and made former chief minister M Veerappa Moily its chairman and former Lok Sabha member B L Shankar its vice chairman.

The committee's other members include veteran Margaret Alva, state working presidents Dinesh Gundu Rao and S R Patil, senior ministers Kagodu Thimmappa, H K Patil, M B Patil, Ramalinga Reddy and K J George.Following are district unit presidents: Lakshman Rao Chingale (Chikkodi), Vinay Navalgatti (Belgaum), Rafiq (Bellari City), K Harish Kumar (Dakshina Kannada), Jagadeva Guttedar (Kalaburagi), Syed Ajampeer Khadri (Haveri), M B Shivamudappa (Kodagu), Janardhana Thonse (Udupi), S Gangadhar (Ramanagara), M Rajakumar (Bengaluru North), G Shekar (Bengaluru Central), G Krishnappa (Bengaluru South), Altaf Hallur (Hubli City), Basavaraj Jaab Shetty (Bidar) and G Keshava Reddy (Chikkaballapura).

All-inclusive executive

The executive committee has 94 members with CWC members, AICC officer bearers, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, MPs from the state, former chief ministers, former state unit presidents and former union ministers being included as ex-officio members.

Special invitees to the Executive Committee include all the ministers and chiefs of frontal organisations in the state.

Last week, Rahul had held a meeting with Karnataka leaders, including Siddaramaiah, G Parameshwara, AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal, senior leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Moily to review the functioning of the state unit.

The Congress had settled the factional feud in the Karnataka unit by making it clear in May that the election next year would be contested under the leadership of Siddaramaiah. As per the agreed formula, G Parmeshwara quit as Home Minister of the state to focus his energies on his role as President of the state Congress.

@Yogesh: Not even with tampered EVM. BJP has already lost in Gujrat. BJP is so scared of their performance they are already planning for 2019 elections. People of India knows - fake development model of gujrat by now. Even feku stopped saying gujrat model and we make India into another gujrat.

 

And BJP wont get anything in Karnataka

Bengaluru, Apr 25: KPCC president D K Shivakumar, has alleged that BJP leaders from the state have sold rice that was meant to be distributed to the poor in Tamil Nadu.

Speaking to newsmen here on Friday, he stated that Congress fully supports the government’s work in the prevention of the spread of COVID-19, but maybe unknown to the Chief Minister, corrupt dealings are which we want to bring to his attention.

He alleged that 1,879 quintals of rice brought from Haryana have been illegally sold to a businessman in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.

Mangaluru, Jan 2: The Muslim Central Committee of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi has dropped its plan to stage a massive protest against the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act and National Register of Citizens on January 4 at Mangaluru’s Nehru Maidan.

Addressing a press conference here today, committee chief K S Mohammed Masood made this announcement.

“All the 28 organisations that had decided to stage protest under the leadership of the Muslim Central Committee, have unanimously agreed to temporarily cancel the protest plan after the city police refused permission for the event,” he said.

Mr Masood requested the people, especially the youth, not to lose patience. “No one should head to Nehru Maidan on January 4 as Muslim leaders have unanimously decided to cancel the protest,” he urged.

S M Rasheed Haji, Y Abdulla Kunhi, Umar UH, Ibrahim Kodichal, B M Mumtaz Ali, Khasim H K, Mansoor Ahmed Azad and Asif Deals were present in the press meet.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

 

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

We respect ur decision sir.

 

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

 

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

 

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims
