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???

Bantwal, Jul 24: Former Union Minister B Janardhan Poojary on Friday said that people need to shed all their misconception regarding COVID-19 and stop taking it so lightly as it is not just any normal disease.

The 83-year-old politician who was tested positive for covid-19, was recently discharged from hospital after recovering completely.

Giving a word of caution, he said, “Earlier also there have been several diseases like Covid-19 and it has been eradicated. Even covid-19 will be eradicated. So, people should not get scared of the disease instead must fight with it”

“Also, covid-19 patients must not be treated like untouchables as those with symptoms may also not mention it due to the fear of being treated badly,” he added.

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Killing an Indian porcupine and inviting his TikTok followers to view it proved costly for a 25-year-old man from Kalaburagi. Forest department officials tracked him down and arrested him on Sunday morning.

Manjunath Biryalhissa, a resident of Jewargi taluk, was famous for his various TikTok videos and for lifting heavy stones in his village and neighbouring areas.

According to forest officials, on Friday, Manjunath and his friends caught a porcupine in Sindagi range, Vijayapura and stoned it to death. Later, they fried and cooked it. Manjunath then made an 18-second video, where he spoke about the porcupine hunt and slaughter, besides inviting his followers to like the video and join him in the feast.

The video was on TikTok and Facebook. Wildlife activists who found the video alerted forest department officials.

“Porcupine comes under schedule four of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Keeping this video as evidence we were able to trace him through his Facebook account, where he had shared details of his hometown,” said forest officials.
