Bengaluru, Jan 28: A group of educated youth belonging to Karnataka for Employment (KFE) set up a pakoda stall in front of the BJP’s office in Bengaluru this weekend.

They were dressed in blue and protesting against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comment in a recent TV interview that those selling pakodas should also be deemed employed.

When asked about his 2013 promise of creating one crore jobs every year, the Prime Minister had said that someone selling pakodas and earning Rs 200 a day too is a job holder.

Members of KFE described this as an “arrogant” statement. Mutturaj, convenor of the movement, said Mr. Modi had made “a mockery of those eking out a living as street vendors”.

Demanding employment generation, the organisation’s members said they plan to meet Mr. Modi during his visit to the city on February 4 and present to him their “youth manifesto”, in which one of the demands is employment generation.

The organisation has been holding a series of ‘No job, no vote’ campaigns in Karnataka in the run-up the State Assembly elections.

People should not forget this and next time while BJP people asking about votes then should replay like this.

The best way to protest is selling tea. Tea seller also earning around 200 in a day

June 11,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 11: Most COVID-19 deaths in Karnataka occur when infected elderly people, those with Severe Acute Respiratory Illness (SARI) or any other symptoms delay reaching designated hospitals, a top official said.

Munish Moudgil, chief of COVID-19 War Room in the state, said most of those infected with the virus are brought to COVID-19 designated hospitals at a very late stage and recovery then becomes extremely tough.

He said about 65 per cent of those killed suffered from SARI and are aged above 60.

The death rate due to SARI is 43 per cent for those in the 40-60 age group, he said, releasing data on coronavirus deaths, to reporters.

In the same age group, the mortality due to Influenza Like Illness (ILI) was 17.4 per cent, whereas it is 11.1 per cent among people aged above 60 .

He said 25 per cent of symptomatic patients aged above 60 die due to the virus, while it was 10.7 per cent in the 40-60 age group.

The fatalities among those aged 60 is high even if they are asymptomatic, Mr Moudgil, who is secretary in the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms, said.

He said the average number of days spent at these hospitals by those who recovered is about 15 days, compared to 3.5 days for those who died of the virus.
