Mangaluru, Mar 30: As many as 13 candidates, including seven independents, were left in the fray for the April 18 Lok Sabha election in Dakshina Kannada as only one of the 14 candidates decided to remain out of fray on Friday, the last day for withdrawal of nomination.

Candidates in fray are:

Nalin Kumar Kateel (BJP – Lotus),

Mithun M Rai (Indian National Congress – Hand),

S Sathish Salian (Bahujan Samaj Party – Elephant)

Among the Independents, Deepak Rajesh Coelho and Maxim Pinto had contested the last Lok Sabha elections too. Suprit Kumar Poojary too had contested from the HJP. Mr. Kateel is facing the election for the third consecutive term while Mr. Rai is contesting for the first time.

As many as 14 candidates had contested the Lok Sabha election in the constituency in 2014. There were 11 candidates in the fray in 2009. In both the elections seven Independents had contested. Hence it is the third consecutive election in which seven Independents are exercising their democratic right.

This is the fourth consecutive Parliamentary election in Dakshina Kannada (erstwhile Mangaluru) in which no woman candidate is in the fray. The last woman candidate to contest from the constituency was Lokeshwari Vinayachandra from the Janata Dal (Secular) in 1999. Of total 7,19,583 votes polled then, she had bagged 20,980.

Addressing presspersons on Friday, Sasikanth Senthil S., Election Officer and Deputy Commissioner, said that that 17,24,566 voters had registered in the constituency as on March 26.

Of them 8,79,186 were women and 8,45,283 were men. In addition, there were 97 third gender voters.

He said that the voters can produce Electoral Photo Identity Cards (EPIC) and 11 other documents specified by the Election Commission.

Some of the specified documents included Aadhar card, passport, driving licence, PAN card, MNREGA job card, bank/post office pass books having photographs, IDs from the government and public sector firms.

I am 100 percent not sure that bjp will try to hack tne AVMs as these machines are preplanned and updated by bjp trained IT specialities and they can do any change with remote control.   This is the way how bjp won last election and they will definately practice same thing again.   BJP will do anything to come to power.  They have o logic, no respect in indian constitution, humanity etc.    God bless indian constitution.

A good and valuable informations by our District Commissioner.More over now the concern is to maintain law and order by our districts dept. Administration must give order and instruction to each and every dept staff. Specially to our Police Force not to play any politics with their duty and responsibilities. Found guilty immedI ate action with out any delay. During election season masteroids will try to pull each other or they try to distrput public's normal life.Prior Dept must give a strict warning to such person. Totally we all require a peace full life.

 

For storiginal Ballot Box, dept must deploy different police forces from Reserve Police,CISFS ;Rapid force at strong room must guard by diiferent squads and surrounding  areas must completely seized from Internet systems.So no one will play any sort of hacking or chance to blame.

Jai Hind Jai Tulunaad

Bengaluru, Aug 3: All those who met Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who has tested positive for Covid-19, in the last three-four days will have to be quarantined, Medical Education Minister Sudhakar K said on Monday.

He also said those who came in contact with Yediyurappa in a couple of programmes in the past week are being traced.

Sudhakar, a medical doctor himself, said Yediyurappa has "very mild cough and his chest is clear."

"I think eight to ten days," he told news agency when asked how long the Chief Minister would have to remain in hospital.

Sudhakar said he is also getting himself tested as a few of his office staff had tested positive.

"All those who met the Chief Minister in the last 3-4 days...ideally they should be quarantined till they receive their results/report. Those who came in contact with him in a couple of programmes will have to isolate themselves and subject themselves for testing," the Minister said.

On the Chief Minister meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala, along with Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai last Friday, Sudhakar said as a result "They also become primary contacts. Ideally, they should also be quarantined and tested."

Yediyurappa who was hospitalised on Sunday night after testing positive for Covid-19 was "doing well" and is "clinically stable", the hospital treating him said.

The 77-year old leader is being monitored by a team of doctors at the Manipal hospital here.

"He is doing well, is clinically stable and will be monitored closely by our team," the hospital said in a statement late last night.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on the recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," Yediyurappa had said in his tweet.

Yediyurappa was in home quarantine a couple of weeks ago, after some staff members in his home office were found infected with the virus. Subsequently, he tested negative for Covid-19.
