Smriti Irani a low-level actress; deserves jail, not HRD ministry: Mysuru professor

January 29, 2016

Mysuru, Jan 29: A professor at the University of Mysore has called Union Human Resources Development Minister Smriti Irani a “low-level actor” who did not deserve to be the HRD minister.

smritiDelivering a talk during ‘Vycharika Kidi’, a programme to commemorate the death of PhD scholar V Rohith, and a session on ‘Condition of dalit, backward, minority students in universities’ organised by Dalit Vidyarthi Okkutta here on Thursday, journalism professor B?P?Mahesh Chandra Guru said, “If Modi has guts, let him remove Smriti Irani and Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya from his Cabinet. Irani, Dattatreya and Hyderabad Central University Vice-Chancellor P?Appa Rao should be put behind the bars.”

Describing the NDA?government as the “National Destruction Alliance”, Guru said Modi was making the country weak and trying to make Indians “slaves” of foreign nations by inviting them to invest in the country. “Modi became the PM because of our foolishness. We need a self-respecting PM,” he said.

He went on, “Being a VC, I?don’t want to loot money. I?don’t have any children to make money. Only the worst kind of looters can become VCs. Kuvempu developed the University of Mysore but ‘Kuvempu Bhajan Mandali’ is controlling it.”

At the same event, Professor K?S?Bhagawan called Rohith’s death a “premeditated murder”. “Rohith is among the few people who became popular at young age. Mahatma Gandhi liberated the country from the British, but Periyar liberated Indians from Brahmanism. To know more about Gandhi and his thoughts, one should read the book ‘What Mr Gandhi and Congress have done to untouchables,” he said.

He went on, “We need Bhima Rajya instead of Rama Rajya. Rama has not contributed anything towards the poor people or farmers. He donated gold coins to priests during his coronation. Rama also suspected his wife Sita’s conduct, twice. During his rule, there were no property rights for women. So, the nation needs leaders like Buddha, Basavanna and Ambedkar.”

Bengaluru, May 15: There is no trace of community spread of COVID-19 pandemic in Karnataka due to the strict measures taken by the State Government, Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar said on Friday.

All those tested positive for the virus here have arrived from other states and are currently being treated in quarantine centres, he tweeted.

Over 25 per cent of the COVID-19 positive cases, which were detected in the state, were related to those who had either come from abroad or other states, and only about 7 per cent cases were associated with the influenza-like diseases, his tweet further read.

Bengaluru, June 23: Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar has urged his party colleagues to be active on social media to counter the propaganda of Bharatiya Janata Party.

Speaking to media persons, the KPCC president said that no more than 20 out of the 68 Congress MLAs are active on social media.

“All those MLAs who are doing well need to be projected. We want leaders, not mere followers. They all should be the face of Congress in Karnataka. Party should not depend on just my face or Siddaramaiah’s,” he said.

Shivakumar’s diktat has resulted in the party’s social media unit scrambling to get leaders to create their accounts.

“We’re pressuring all the party MLAs and leaders. We’re asking their personal assistants or gunmen to operate their accounts if they are not savvy with social media,” KPCC social media chief A N Nataraj Gowda said.

He pointed out that the 20 MLAs who are active on social media include U T Khader, Dinesh Gundu Rao, Priyank Kharge, Krishna Byre Gowda among others.

“We’re also trying to get the accounts verified of those who are beginning to get active. For example, it was only recently that we got the accounts of S R Patil and Vijay Singh verified,” Gowda said.

Tapping the full potential of social media is crucial for the Congress because the BJP has found much success in reaching out to voters through various online platforms.

In fact, ahead of the 2018 Assembly elections, the Congress found that there were 10 ministers and some 40 MLAs who had turned a blind eye towards social media.

Shivakumar said he was also working on putting in place a system in the party under which all developments related to the state and country will be communicated to all party leaders at 10 am every day.
