TOP priority for NDA govt means Tomato, Onion and Potato, says PM

Bengaluru, Feb 4: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today redefined what he means by the term 'TOP' priority of the NDA government led by him. 

TOP means Tomato, Onion, and Potato, he said at a public rally to mark the culmination of Karnataka BJP's 'Parivarthana Yatra' that crisscrossed the entire state covering all the 224 assembly constituencies. Modi said, "Those growing vegetables and fruits are among our top priority. When I say TOP, I mean whichever part of the country you go, three vegetables are very much visible -- Tomato, Onion, and Potato." 

"That's why I call TOP Priority. T for Tomato, O for Onion and P for potato - that makes TOP priority." He explained that these three TOP staples found across the country symbolized his government's initiative called 'Operation Greens' to improve the living condition of farmers. 

Keeping these growers in mind, Operation Greens has been announced in the budget, he said. Just as AMUL enhanced farmers' income, Operation Greens would prove beneficial for vegetable growers, the Prime Minister said. 

He assured farmers that BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa would earmark Rs one lakh crore to improve the irrigation system in Karnataka if he becomes the Chief Minister after the assembly elections.

BJP is forcing to use EVM machine only to cheat indian voters.   No other country is using EVM whereas bjp only is forcing to use it and EC is acting like a puppet in the hands of bjp.   In case this continues, i dont think our democracy will survive and our nation will proceed toward dictatorship and this will destroy our nation.

PM jii... where is our 15Lakhs, its still not come to our bank account. Did you by mistake transfered everythig to Amith Shah & Arun jaitely? . We are all sure that your own people will ditch you in the coming election. You can only promise & roam around the world with Tax Payers money. I am sure BJP wil not come in power if the voting is done with Ballet papers. Japan dont use EVM machine? why the hell we are using the EVM which is made by Japan. You have cheated the indian public thru EVM machine & come into power. If Almighty is there he will show the truth. I dont know Why is EC not cancelling EVM machines??? Is BJP paid the EC for this blunder???

Mangaluru, Apr 12: A 10-month-old baby who tested COVID-19 positive on March 27 completed treatment and discharged from hospital on Saturday.

He was the youngest positive case in Karnataka, from Sajipanadu village in Bantwal taluk.

The child had been with his mother to a relative's house at Monetepadau village, situated on the Karnataka-Kerala border in the first week of March.

A few days later the child developed an acute respiratory illness and tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

Treating the breastfeeding child was challenging for doctors as he had to be isolated. A team of doctors from Wenlock Hospital took up this challenge and successfully cured the baby.

Test reports on his mother and grandmother too have returned negative. They too had been under quarantine and were discharged with the baby.

Another positive development was that no COVID-19 case has been reported from the child's village.  

The entire Sajipanadu village was completely sealed after the child tested positive and the district had provided all the necessary supplies to the villagers.
