Ballari, Nov 1: Former police officer Anupama Shenoy, who could not get expected support from the BJP even after making a series of allegations against the Congress government of Karnataka, on Wednesday launched her own political party at Kudligi in Ballari district.

Formally launching Bharatiya Jana Shakthi Congress (BJSC), Anupama said that the new party intends to make the Karnataka a liquor-free state in stages. She said that her party would endorse Mahatma Gandhiji's concept of Gram Swarajya.

A few weeks ago, Anupama had claimed that her new party would contest all 224 seats in 2018 Karnataka Assembly polls. A couple of days ago, she stated that her party would field candidates in 80 seats across Karnataka. However, on the day of party launch, she said that the details of how many seats her party would contest and from which districts will be decided at a later date.

Anupama, who hails from Udupi district, was serving as the Deputy Superintendent of Police in Kudligi sub-division when she quit the police department. She had accused the senior officers of harassing her and not forcing her to withdraw resignation.

Anupama is one of the three children of Radhakrishna (63), who runs a canteen at Uchila village in Udupi district. Her elder brother Aravind is an electronics engineer in Malaysia and the other Achutha is a field engineer. After BSc, Anupama completed Masters in Social Work before clearing the KAS examination.

Onion falls to Rs 25 per kg, but growers are in tears

News Network

February 11,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 11: Onion price dropped to Rs 25-30 per kg on Monday, down from the dizzying Rs 200/kg in December and January. The price had spiked because of excess rain, which ruined the crop in several parts of the country.

With supply stabilising, especially from Maharashtra and northern Karnataka, and exports banned, the rate is now easing, officials said.

Consumers may be smiling but farmers are worried as they are not able to make more than Rs 17/kg as against the expected Rs 40.

"We get onions from Nasik and Sholapur in Maharashtra. Nasik onions used to be exported but since that is currently banned, they are landing in Bengaluru, leaving the market here with a surplus," said K Lokesh, president, Karnataka State Onion Merchants Association.

A farmer from Sholapur wh o was part of a onion growers' delegation which met traders in Bengaluru, said, "The cost of everything has gone up. Labour charges and fuel prices are draining us. How can we survive? How can I pay for my children's education?"

Another Sholapur farmer rued: "My daughter's wedding is in March. How am I going to meet all the expenses? I have to pay for labour, transportation, gunny bags and when everything adds up, I don't get to save more than Rs 30,000 in a month."
