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

Shivamogga, May 21: An FIR has been registered against Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi in Sagar taluk of Shivamogga district of Karnataka over tweets on May 11 by the party's official handle about PM-CARES fund.

The FIR, registered under Sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) and 505 (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), identifies Gandhi as the handler of the social media account.

The complaint by advocate Praveen KV alleged that the Congress party, through the tweets, has made rumourous statements against the Government of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was trying to provoke the people against the government.

According to the FIR, the Congress party had on May 11, 2020, made false and baseless allegations, claimed misappropriation of PM-CARES Fund and cast aspersions on the Government of India through the tweets.

"A Twitter account handled by All India Congress Committee headed by Sonia Gandhi had on May 11, 2020, published tweets terming PM CARES Fund as PM CARES Fraud. They had claimed that the PM CARES fund is not being used for the public," Praveen KV told ANI on Thursday.

He said that he has collected all the details related to the tweets and account from the handle and filed a complaint in the matter, following which a preliminary enquiry was conducted and an FIR was registered in the matter.

"They had also said that the Prime Minister was enjoying and going to foreign trips with this fund. This is clearly rumourous news against the Government of India in this COVID-19 pandemic situation. In this regard, I had filed a complaint. After a primary enquiry, the Sagar Police has filed an FIR against Sonia Gandhi, who heads the INC Twitter account," Praveen KV said.
