Mangaluru, Oct 10: Veteran Congress leader B Janardhana Poojary has cursed the Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah after the latter gave the formal inauguration of Kudroli Dasara a miss although he was present in Mangaluru on Sunday.

Mr Siddaramaiah had inaugurated the Kudroli Dasara in 2014. Every year Mr Poojary, the patron of Kudroli Gokarnanatheshwara Temple, invites a special guest for the formal inauguration of the common man's Dasara. This year he had not invited any special guest.

It is learnt that Mr Poojary had expected the CM's visit to the Temple during his day-long Dakshina Kannada tour on Sunday.

However, after returning from Koila in Puttur taluk, where he laid foundation stone for a veterinary college, Mr Siddaramaiah visited the house of Ivan D'Souza, chief whip of the government in state legislative council, at Valencia.

Mr Poojary slammed both CM and the chief whip for allegedly ignoring the Mangaluru Dasara programme. “God will not forgive Mr Siddaramaiah for this blunder,” Mr Poojary said and added that Mr D'Souza too is responsible for CM's “indifferent attitude”.

However, Mr D'Souza said that visit to Kudroli was not on the cards and it was not included in the CM's official tour programme. He said that he had invited the CM on his arrival to the city and the latter accepted the same. "He was in my house for around 45 minutes before flying back to Bengaluru," he said.

It is better to stay away from worshiping the Idols (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI). Atleast CM is following what the VEDAS says. Poojary is looking for controversy in everything now...

Siddu nothing will happen, dont worry about the curse...

Bengaluru, Apr 9: The Karnataka government is currently engaged in discussions with experts, specialists and other stakeholders to decide on its lockdown exit strategy and would take a final view by April 13, a key Minister said on Thursday.

"Day after tomorrow we have a VC (videoconference) with the Prime Minister," Medical Education Minister Sudhakar K, who is in-charge of all matters related to COVID-19, noted when asked about the States strategy.

He said a task force of specialist doctors on Wednesday submitted its report to the government, giving its recommendations.

"We are meeting lot of stakeholders of the society taking their views," the Minister said, adding, the Cabinet would also hold discussions.

"Finally, day after tomorrow, after discussing with the Prime Minister during the VC, the government will take a view on this by April 13 or so. As of now, we have not taken any view on it. We are studying all the reports," Sudhakar told PTI.

The Minister observed that the COVID-19 cases were slowly spiking in India but not multiplying the way they have in some other countries like Italy, Spain and the United States as the government had declared 21-day national lockdown early and taken other strict measures. "Let's see for one week and see."

"We need to fight this out collectively and by strictly following the quarantine methods and social distancing," Sudhakar stressed.

The Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa had on Wednesday said his government was in favour of lifting lock-down in districts which remained free from COVID-19 after April 14 subject to approval from the Centre.

"If the Prime Minister suggests to States to take decision (on lock-down) based on the situation in their respective States, my position is to take a call (on roll- back) in districts free from COVID-19," he had said.

"This is to allow people to go about their business and move about within the district and not from one district to another, after April 14, after taking the approval of the Prime Minister."

According to State officials, as many as 12 districts continue to remain free from COVID-19.

The task force has recommended continuation of lockdown at "hot spots" beyond April 14.

It has suggested that schools and colleges be shut till May 31, while non-air-conditioned shops can be opened.

Also, IT/BT companies, government offices providing essential services and factories can function with 50 per cent staff, the task force said in its recommendations for 15-day period after April 14.
