ZP/TP polls: BJP manifesto promises to eradicate corruption

February 7, 2016

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

Davanagere, Jul 4: Referring to allegations made by former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's charge about corruption while purchasing COVID-19 equipment, Health Minister B Sriramulu said the state government is ready for any kind of probe in this regard.

Speaking to media persons here on Saturday, he said the government has maintained accounts for each purchase of equipment related to Covid-19. 

"So, Congress leader's allegations are far from the truth. Siddaramaiah has vast political experience. It is unbecoming of such a leader to make ridiculous allegations. The government is ready to release white paper on purchase of equipment related to Covid-19," he said.

He said Karnataka stands third in the country in collection of throat swabs and examination of people related to Covid-19. The entire country has hailed Karnataka's role in containing Covid-19, Sriramulu he added.

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

 

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first.    There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI.    BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations.    BJP is doing propoganda only.   Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis.   We should ban them first.
