Speaking at the Stop politics of hate' campaign organised by the district unit of the Popular Front of India here on Wednesday, he took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government for constant attacks on minorities across the country.

He said that the politics of hate, ultimately leads to communal violence and chaos in the country.

Shafi Bellary, secretary of the State unit of the PFI said that Dalits and minorities were at the receiving end of “majority politics” for the last two years.

Mr. Bellary said all people should accept the fact that India was a diverse multi-religious and multi-cultural country. It has a secular constitution.

The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government had got a mere 31 per cent of votes, which meant that a large majority was against it, he said.

Even those who had voted for the NDA had done so because they were fed up of the “corruption” of the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. Hence it could not be concluded that it was a vote for the ideology espoused by the BJP, he said.

Bengaluru, Jul 1: The Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert and forecasted heavy rains for three coastal districts and 12 more in the south interior Karnataka region, an official said on Tuesday afternoon.

"Thunderstorm with lightning is likely to occur at isolated places over south interior Karnataka from Tuesday to Wednesday," said a Met official.

For Bengaluru city, the Met department has forecast a generally cloudy sky with light rain for the next three days.

Coastal Karnataka -- Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts have been issued a yellow alert for the next two days with thundershowers and gusty winds.

Winds blowing at speed of 40-50 km per hour are expected on the coast and the Met department warned fishermen against venturing into the sea.

Meanwhile, heavy showers on Sunday night in Vijayapura district gave rise to flash floods in the Doni river and Sogali stream.

An overflowing Doni river submerged the Talikote - Hadaginal bridge, a remnant from the colonial era, and also submerged some agricultural lands. Only recently, these agricultural lands were sown with toor dal plants.

Similarly, many SSLC students also struggled to cross the bridge to reach their examination centres on Monday.

Many houses were also flooded due to the rainfall at Nalatwad and Talikote taluk. Muddebihal, Basavana Bagewadi and Sindagi taluks also witnessed heavy rainfall.

A 40-year-old farmer from Dharwad district was washed away in the Tuppari Halla stream, which is prone to flood during the monsoon season.

Likewise, a truck carrying cotton also got washed away in a stream in Yadgir district.

"There is an offshore trough and a circulation, because of which rain will continue in the coastal area. Only Malnad has not got sufficient rain this year. Probably after two days, Malnad may get some rains," Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) Director Srinivas Reddy said. Otherwise, entire state got normal rainfall, said Reddy, though it is not active over Malnad.
