Mysuru, Aug 8: The internal rift of Bharatiya Janta Party has once again come to fore with Mysuru MP Pratap Simha accusing a section of party leaders of conspiring against him and Dakshina Kannada M Nalin Kumar Kateel.

Simha, who is also the Karnataka state president of BJP Yova Morcha, has claimed that a section of leaders within BJP has been conspiring against him to ensure that he does not get the party ticket to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Mysuru-Kodagu constituency.

Simha, in his recent Facebook Live post, said that some vested interests are spreading rumours that the BJP leaders are trying to persuade Pramoda Devi Wadiyar of Mysuru royal family to be the party candidate from the constituency. It is also said there are four ticket aspirants for the constituency, he added.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to Mysuru in February, has praised my performance as an MP. But the vested interests started spreading rumours about the party looking for an alternative candidate the day after Modi’s visit," Simha claimed and expressed confidence that he will get the ticket and will win the election again from the same constituency.

Besides, he also said that a section of leaders is conspiring against BJP MP from Dakshina Kannada constituency Nalin Kumar Kateel. He hit out at the party leaders in the district Srikar Prabhu for trying to malign the image of Kateel.

Harekala Hajabba, the orange seller who set up school for underprivileged, chosen for Padma Shri 2020

News Network

January 25,2020

Mangaluru, Jan 25: Orange vendor Harekala Hajabba, popularly known as 'Akshara Santha' (the saint of alphabets), who went on to build a school at Newpadpu village on the city’s outskirts in 1999 is among this year’s Padma Shri awardees.

When Hajabba received the call on being nominated for the award, he was standing in a queue to buy rations.

As he is not fluent in Hindi, Hajabba handed over the phone to an auto driver, who conveyed the news that the Padma Shri award will be conferred on him.

The unlettered achiever set up a primary school from his meagre savings of Rs 150 per day, selling oranges in Mangaluru.

“The first time I felt bad for being an illiterate was when a foreigner enquired about the price of oranges in English. I did not know what he meant. So, I decided to start a school in my village,” Hajabba had said during a felicitation programme.

When Hajabba decided to start a school, he did not get any support. He started the school with 28 children.

The school today has been upgraded to a composite high school and is catering to the educational needs of hundreds of children in and around Newpadpu.

He ran from pillar to post in the Zilla Panchayat to make his dream come true. All cash awards he had received went into building the school. The United Christians Association, moved by the sight of his dilapidated house, built a 760-square-foot house costing Rs 15 lakh for him.

Hajabba’s life was prescribed for the syllabus of three universities - Davangere, Kuvempu and Mangalore. His success story is also included in a Tulu textbook.

He won the Karnataka Rajyotsava award in 2013, Real Heroes award from TV channel CNN-IBN.

Hajabba, when contacted, said he could not believe his ears when told about the award.

New dreams

The frail vendor, in his 60s, humbly declared that he could achieve all this because of the support of all. Hajabba now dreams of upgrading the school into a full-fledged PU college.

A big Salute to him!

Great effort,

Where there is will, there is way

May God help him.
