Mysuru, Apr 2: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday, challenged BJP State President B S Yeddyurappa himself contest from Varuna Assembly segment if the latter was so sure of victory.

Siddaramaiah's son Dr Yathindra, is likely to be the Congress candidate from Varuna.

When quizzed by reporters about speculation that the BJP was planning to field Yeddyurappa's son B Y Vijayendra from Varuna constituency, the CM said, that the people would vote for those who worked for the constituency and nobody else.

"What contribution has Yeddyurappa has made to Varuna? It is me who worked for the people of the region. People will vote for those who worked for the constituency," Siddaramaiah asserted.

Siddaramaiah also questioned Yeddyurappa's 'connection' to the Varuna constituency. "People think before they vote," he remarked.

"If my son contests, voters will not support Yathindra just because he is my (CM'S) son. They will consider the work done for the segment by me as CM," Siddaramaiah claimed.

And everything happened in last 4 years. For example, today our steel production is 100 MT/year, even in 2013-14 it was 81 MT/year... BTW, we are number 3 in steel production, not number 2.

CONGRESS be care full As elections time is just 8 hours , all police controls from central, and BJP contrles EVMS as they did in UP, so with that kind of winning by manuplation is to be watched out carefully with Cameras installed at necessary or on whole locations focussing the EV machines.

Madikeri, Aug 7: Two days after massive landslides triggered by heavy downpour in Kodagu, five people including a priest are still missing. 

The landslide, which originating at Brahmagiri Hills in Talacauvery, swept away two houses on Wednesday night.

This missing people are: Talacauvery temple chief Narayana Achar (70), his wife Shantha (70), brother Ananda Theertha Swami (87) and two assistants — Ravi Kiran (26) and Srinivas (30). Achar’s neighbour had shifted out of Bhagamandala earlier, fearing a landslide. 

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) had to stop rescue operations due to bad weather. The operations resumed today. 

“There are many minor landslides on the way to the spot,” said Kodagu Deputy Commissioner C Annies K Joy, adding that the flood situation at Bhagamandala was not permitting earthmovers to reach the spot. Heavy rain between Wednesday and Thursday triggered landslides. 

Bhagamandala Panchayat Development Officer Ashok said a notice was issued to the priest’s family to shift out of the house, but they chose to stay back. 

On Thursday morning, when the Talacauvery temple staff went to check on Narayana Achar, as he had not reached the temple for the daily puja, they found levelled land and debris where Achar’s house stood. Utensils, puja material and clothes were found nearly 2 km away at Cherangala. 

As rains continued over the last few days, many rivers are flowing above the danger levels, forcing people to move to safer places.

 Responding to the situation, which is turning grimmer by the day, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, directed ministers to visit rain-hit areas and supervise relief efforts. He has also assured of providing required financial assistance for those affected.

Mangaluru, June 13: Commending the Karnataka government move to ban the online classes for children up to Standard 5, Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has demanded to impose ban on all education apps that offer online coaching to school children.

"I welcome the government’s decision of banning online classes up to class 5. I would like to know why education apps of corporate companies are allowed to continue when schools are banned to conduct online classes. Why the government could not ban those education apps that offer online classes?” the former minister questioned.

He warned that private schools in the state may commence their online classes through such apps of corporate companies if the present situation continues.

Not all parents in the state can afford buying smart phones required for online classes, he said. "Only 30% of the school children in the state have access to smart phones. Most of the parents cannot afford to buy smart phones for their children. Government should take into consideration the mental stress of academically brilliant children among poor families. Those children may go under depression when they do not have access to online classes. The government can cancel some of the schemes like distribution of bicycles and reserve such funds to find solutions to the problems poor children face at present,” Khader said.

“We have 1,120 beds to treat COVID-19 positive cases in the district. Even after including these 150 persons, we still have 800 beds left. Hence, people need not panic. We will provide treatment for all affected persons,” Mr. Jagadeesha said.
