Ramya bids goodbye to Mandya politics?

News Network

December 4, 2018

Mandya, Dec 4: Actress-turned-politician Ramya, who is one of the confidantes of Congress supremo Rahul Gandhi, seems to have bid a farewell to Mandya, from where she won the 2013 bypoll to the Lok Sabha.

The former MP, who currently heads the social media team of the All India Congress Committee (AICC), has vacated her rented house in Mandya for a second time, sparking speculations. Her mother Ranjitha is a native of Gopalpura, two km from Mandya city.

Ramya, a resident of Bengaluru, had rented a house on KR Road at Vidyanagar, during the 2013 Lok Sabha bypolls. Following criticism that Ramya was not accessible to people, she held a house-warming ceremony of the house, twice. However, she spent only a few days there. At present, she spends most of her time in Delhi or in foreign nations. On Sunday (Dec 2) night, Ramya had household items transported in two trucks under police protection.

Ramya had been trolled on social media for not voting in three elections since May last — Assembly elections, Municipal Council polls and bypoll to the Lok Sabha. Her name is in the voters’ list in Mandya city.

She became a victim of trolling again, following the death of 30 passengers in a mishap in which a bus plunged into a canal in Pandavapura taluk. On the same night, former minister Ambareesh passed away. The trolling continued as she could not attend the funeral.

She was elected to the Lok Sabha in the 2013 byelections, following the resignation of then Mandya MP N Chaluvarayaswamy. However, she lost the 2014 general election to the Lok Sabha, to present district incharge Minister C S Puttaraju.

There were rumours last year that she may be fielded as Congress candidate from Mandya Assembly constituency as the late Ambareesh had distanced himself from the people of the district. Even though Ambareesh declined to contest, Ramya was not considered.

According to sources close to her, she does not see a future in Mandya. “The JD(S) has become too strong for the Congress to handle in Mandya district. The Congress, which heavily depended on Ambareesh, has no bankable leader. Due to the coalition between the Congress and JD(S), chances of Congress contesting the Lok Sabha polls in 2019 are bleak,” said a source.

News Network

January 3,2020

Chamarajanagar, Jan 3: The residents of Galipura layout in Chamarajanagar city boycotted the annual Community Based Survey (CBS), conducted by the Health and Family Welfare department, mistaking it to be the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Majority of the residents in the layout belong to Muslim community. The people, who mistook CBS to the NRC survey, got into arguments with the Asha workers, who were given the responsibility of collecting information. They even tore the forms into pieces and vent their ire.

The Health Department conducts CBS every year in the urban areas and collects all details including Aadhaar number, residential address, details of family members, health problems and others.

Fifteen Asha workers were deputed for the survey in the layout. A few youths started questioning them alleging it to be an NRC survey and started arguing with them.
Tahsildar Mahesh, District Health and Family Welfare Officer Dr N C Ravi, with the help of Muslim leaders cleared the confusion. The community leaders assured of explaining it to the residents and extend cooperation to the survey.
