Mangaluru, Aug 23: Coming down heavily on Bharatiya Janata Party for “trying to fool people in the name of Tiranga Yatra” Congress leader U T Khader has said that those who disrupt peace and harmony in the society for political gains have no right to deliver lecturer on patriotism.

Addressing media persons in the city on Tuesday, Mr Khader said: “Nationalism and patriotism can be no party's property. Those who disrupt peace and harmony are neither patriots nor nationalists.”

The statement comes two days after BJP chief Amit Shah visited Mr Khader's constituency to participate in a so called Tiranga Yatra, which appeared to be the saffron party's attempt to strengthen itself ahead of 2018 assembly polls.

Mr Khader said that the party which organized a nation-wide Tiranga Yatra must clarify its stand on Nathuram Godse, a terrorist who killed Mahatma Gandhi within a year after India's independence.

He also said that Tiranga Yatra wasn't an apolitical event as Mr Shah and other BJP leaders targeted Congress and tried to spread a false notion that the BJP is the only patriotic party.

He sarcastically said: “I am happy that those who wanted to replace Tiranga with their saffron flag are now hoisting tricolor throughout the country at least to fool the people".

Mr Khader revealed that he was also invited to the Tiranga Yatra and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel had personally written to him asking him to attend the event.

Ashutosh
I'm sure you will never vote other party than bjp.. Don't give advise to kader bhai.. He is good human being and he dont need so called bhakts votes who are always spoiling environment in the name of patritism, nationalism or religion.

Instead of criticising good people I suggest you to go back and make research on wheather kader bhai said is correct or wrong.. You will know exactly RSS intention behind tiranga.. These so called nationalist wanted to replace suffron flag into indian flag.. How you justify this.. Dont be fooled by following someone blindly...

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Several state Congress leaders, including its President D K Shivakumar, among others, were detained by police as they tried to march towards Raj Bhavan here against the alleged attempts by BJP to topple the party's government in Rajasthan.

Shivakumar, along with Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, state Congress Working President Eshwar Khandre, Salim Ahmed among others were stopped by the police midway as they marched from KPCC office towards Raj Bhavan.

Congress leaders then staged a dharna at the place where they were stopped. Addressing the gathering, Shivakumar accused the BJP of trying to "murder" democracy by destabilizing and removing elected governments.

"We wanted to protest against it and submit a memorandum to the President through the Governor," but the Karnataka government by using police was not letting them proceed towards Raj Bhavan, he said. "Despite our being a peaceful protest, the police stopped us," he said.

Siddaramaiah, echoing similar views, said peaceful protests against injustice was the right of every citizen. Alleging that the BJP was attempting to destabilise and remove the elected government in Rajasthan as it did in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, he said the Governor's office there (Rajasthan) was being 'misused'.

The Governor was working like an agent of the central government, he charged. He said, despite repeated appeals by the Rajasthan cabinet, the Governor there had not convened the assembly session, for the floor test to take place and for Congress to prove its majority. Police subsequently detained Shivakumar and some other Congress leaders and took them to a nearby police station.

They were later released. Meanwhile, as the Congress' protest amid Covid19 pandemic did not follow social distancing norms, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar hit out at that party's leaders. In a tweet Sudhakar said, for Congress leaders getting publicity was more important than social concerns.

Bengaluru, June 1: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today praised the Karnataka government for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Addressing the silver jubilee celebrations of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) via a digital platform, he spoke about the Karnataka government's efforts.

He appreciated the work of front-line warriors who are fighting every day in the war against COVID-19 and stressed the need to respect them.

"Doctors and other medical workers are soldiers without wearing the uniform of soldiers. Any kind of attack or violence against them is not acceptable," said Modi.

"There are incidents of violence against the front-line warriors. Any kind of abuse, violence or rude behaviour is not acceptable. The world is looking at doctors and medical staff with gratitude," he said.

"This is the biggest crisis since the two World Wars," the prime minister said. "Pre- and post-COVID-19, the world will be different. The discussions now at a global level are humanity-centric."

Stressing the importance of medical infrastructure, the prime minister spoke about the decision taken by the Union Government to set up a medical college in every district.

"A nation like ours has to have the medical infrastructure and medical education. Now, every district is going to have a medical college," he said.

However, the PM remained silent on salaries of front-line warriors. The Karnataka government has so far not released the salaries of doctors, nurses and lab technicians hired under National Health Mission.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: At 11 am on Friday, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa will present the State Budget for the 2020-2021 fiscal. Coming at a time when the state is facing financial challenges, the budget is expected to have minor tax shocks for citizens, while making space for big-ticket allocations to the agriculture and water resources ministries. Thursday's budget will be Yediyurappa’s seventh.

“Agriculture is our primary focus. The recent gazette notification of the Mahadayi tribunal order is a welcome move for Karnataka and we will make budgetary allocations for this too,” the CM had said.

The cut back in devolution of funds for Karnataka from the divisible pool, trimming of funds from the Union Government for Centrally-sponsored schemes and tax collections falling short of revenue targets have made matters tough for Yediyurappa. The consolation may be the part payment of one installment of GST compensation from the Centre. The GST compensation, in part for the October-November period, was released to the state in time for tabling of the budget.
