Bengaluru, Sept 6: After the arrest of Congress trouble-shooter D K Shivakumar by the Enforcement Directorate, the Bharatiya Janata Party is reportedly gearing up for a large scale ‘Operation Lotus’ in Karnataka with dozens of legislators from two main opposition parties of the state – the Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) receiving offer from the Amit Shah led saffron party.

If sources are to be believed, BJP is all set to poach the Opposition MLAs ahead of the winter session of the state legislature. The plan is aimed at destroying the strength of the Opposition parties that are already under shock after Central agencies started targeting their leaders.

In Karnataka, the ruling BJP already enjoys a slender majority in the 224-member Assembly, whose strength has reduced to 207 following the resignations of 17 MLAs — 14 from Congress (including KPJP MLA R Shankar) and three from the JD(S).

This time the BJP is likely to target more number of JD(S) leaders. The list includes former minister G T Devegowda, Srirangapatna MLA Ravindra Srikantaiah, Nagamangala MLA Suresh Gowda, Tumkur Rural MLA D C Gowrishankar and Gurmitkal MLA Naganagouda Kandkur and H K Kumaraswamy, current JD(S) president and five-time MLA from Sakleshpur constituency. The targeted Congress leaders include Ballari Rural MLA B Nagendra and Hagaribommanahalli MLA Bheema Naik.

Bengaluru, Apr 15: Police on Wednesday conducted surprise raids at nearly 120 shops in Bengaluru following complaints of black marketing and sale of foodgrains above the MRP rate.

Sandip Patil, Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime, Bengaluru in a tweet said that action has been initiated against these shopkeepers.

Though the government has maintained the supply chain of essential items, few shopkeepers have used the lockdown opportunity to charge higher prices for essential items.

Need tough punishment.

Instead of helping with lesser price, troubling the people. These are cruels.

August 2,2020

Mangaluru/Udupi, Aug 2: The twin coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi witnessed sporadic movement of vehicles and relatively less commercial activities today in spite of the withdrawal of ‘Sunday lockdown’ by the state government.

After the central government announced guidelines under Unlock 3.0, the Karnataka government has removed the complete lockdown concept on Sundays and done away with the night curfews too. So from today (August 2), there will be no lockdown on Sundays.

KSRTC operated its buses as usually. However, compared to other days, today the number of private and city buses on the roads in Dakshina Kannada was limited.

In Udupi, city buses remained off the roads as the number of passengers was less. However, KSRTC and NARM buses were seen transporting passengers.

In containment zones ban on movement of people will continue till August 31 in Udupi. The Santhekatte market used to function on Saturdays, as there was Sunday lockdown on earlier Sundays. Now the market will be open on Sundays only.
