Bengaluru, Feb 7: The State BJP, in its manifesto for the zilla and taluk panchayat polls, has sought to give a thrust to capacity building at the local bodies level and also take the NDA model of development to the grassroots.

BJPmanifesto

Launched in the presence of State leaders in Bengaluru on Saturday, the manifesto also lists priorities across 20 sectors, including administration, social welfare, agriculture, education and housing in rural local bodies.

The elections for the zilla and taluk panchayats are scheduled to be held across 30 districts in two phases on February 13 and 20.

BJP?State president Pralhad Joshi said the Congress government had failed to keep its promise made ahead of the Assembly elections of decentralisation of administration and providing more power to panchayat raj institutions.

The NDA government has successfully launched several welfare and development schemes after coming to power in May 2014, Joshi said and added that the party would strive to replicate these schemes at the grassroots.

Former minister Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri, who headed a committee to draft the manifesto, said the document was also a pointer to BJP’s priorities to panchayat raj institutions if it comes to power in the 2018 Assembly polls. Union?Ministers Ananth Kumar, D?V?Sadananda Gowda and former ministers Suresh Kumar and R?Ashoka were among those present during the manifesto launch.

Key agenda

Pressure the government to increase annual grants to zilla and taluk panchayats to Rs 10 crore and Rs 5 crore, respectively

Eradicate corruption in panchayat bodies by setting up vigilance cells

Constitution of planning boards at ZP/TP level to chalk out annual development action plan

Construction of student hostels with good infrastructure and amenities in rural

areas

Provide thrust to solar power to energise pumpsets

Upgrading of village roads

Drinking water facilities and toilets in all rural schools

Better facilities in rural primary health centres

Bengaluru, Feb 28: BS Yediyurappa’s contribution to the economy is substantial, and he is one CM who has contributed largely to making India the fifth largest economy, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday.

“He will ensure that Karnataka contributes towards making India the third-largest economy in the coming days,” Singh said, who had flown from New Delhi to participate in the CM’s birthday celebrations.

Singh recalled Yediyurappa asking him how to increase welfare measures for farmers, and had suggested that the CM reduce interest rates on loans to help the community. “Yediyurappa took the suggestion seriously and reduced interest of loans to a mere 4 % and gradually reduced it to 1 % before coming down to zero,” Singh said, appreciating Yediyurappa’s love for farmers.
