It is coincide or otherwise, the purchase of the new SUV?has come after a baby crow sat on his official SUV?some days ago. The chief minister's office however clarified that the vehicle was booked a month ago. Official sources said that the old vehicle had run 3 lakh kilometers and hence the change. The old one will be returned to the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms.

Siddaramaiah's new buy however has led to speculations that he got rid of the old SUV to ward off bad omen. On June 2, the crow hit the headlines, as it refused to budge from Siddaramaiah's vehicle (also a white Toyota Fortuner), which was parked at his home office Krishna'. It had sat for 10 long minutes on the bonnet, before it was physically shooed away.

The video footage had gone viral in all regional television channels, with astrologers on the panel advising Siddaramaiah to change his car. They said that he might face problems from the Lord Shani who is mounted on a crow, which is termed as a Shani Vahana'.

Shivamogga, Jul 24: The protest by Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) under the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) entered its 14th day on Friday demanding personal protective equipment (PPE) kits and a salary of at least Rs 12,000 per month.

They have been protesting in different parts of Karnataka since July 10.

Staging a protest in front of the deputy commissioner's office, the ASHA workers complained of the government turning a deaf ear to their problems.

Clad in their signature pink saris, they raised slogans to demand appropriate salary for their work and the necessary equipment to protect them from the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. 

They said that they worked tirelessly during the COVID-19-induced lockdown without any safety. The department only provided them with sub-standard equipment to combat the deadly virus. All they were asking for is a basic pay of Rs 12,000 against the current pay of Rs 6,000.

Prema, an ASHA said, "The authorities are praising our work, clapping for us and showering flowers on us but are not listening to our grievances."
