Bengaluru/Belagavi, Dec 21: The Karnataka state unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party has started the process of putting in place a poll calendar of events for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The issue was discussed at a meeting of the party’s legislators and district units’ presidents held in Belagavi on Thursday.
 
As per plans, BJP supremo Amit Shah will kick-start the party State unit’s preparations for the Lok Sabha elections by addressing six to eight conventions of leaders from booth-level committee clusters in January.

According to a senior leader, each of the proposed convention will be attended by 5,000 to 8,000 grassroots-level leaders from three to five Lok Sabha seats. The first convention of the leaders of Shakti Kendras (clusters of booth-level committees) will be held in Bengaluru.

Soon after, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a slew of political rallies in different parts of the State in February, sources said. However, the dates of the Prime Minister’s rallies are yet to be finalised.

The party has also asked six of its morchas — Yuva, Mahila, SC, ST, Raitha, and OBC — to hold separate conventions in different parts of the State from January 15 to reach out to different cross-sections of society ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, sources said.

Thursday’s meeting also discussed the need to strengthen booth-level committees. The meeting prepared a poll calendar of events for the State unit comprising 17 issues/events.

The BJP is set to take social media to the grassroots levels in terms of its application for election campaign.

The BJP State unit has been told by its central unit to constitute Lok Sabha-level committees comprising a social media in-charge person along with others such as a legal expert and a media in charge by December 31 to monitor preparations for the elections. The committee, among others, will also have political leaders.

Bengaluru, Feb 24: Raising questions about the situation in Kashmir, senior Congress leader and former Karnataka chief minister Sidddaramaiah on Monday asked the BJP heading the union government to prove 'normalcy' by hosting US President Donald Trump's event in the valley.

If @BJP4India feels Kashmir has returned to Normalcy, & If @BJP4India feels that there is no govt orchestrated violence. Now is the time to prove the same by hosting @realDonaldTrump's event at Kashmir, Siddaramaiah tweeted.

Amid concerns raised by opposition parties, the government has said efforts have been made to restore normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir which faced months of restrictions after its special status under Article 370 was scrapped in August last year.

Siddaramaiah, who is Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly, in another tweet hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the long wall built near the airport in Ahmedabad allegedly to block the view of a slum, ahead of Trump's visit.

It is time for @realDonaldTrump to get inspired from @narendramodi. Inspiration to build decorative walls to hide not so decorative life!! he tweeted. The opposition Congress in Gujarat had accused the BJP- ruled civic body in Ahmedabad of building the 500-meter long wall to block the view of a slum colony. Refuting the allegations, AMC officials had said the construction of the wall, around four feet in height, was approved much before Trump's Gujarat visit was finalised.

Trump, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and a high-level delegation, arrived in Ahmedabad around noon on Monday for a little less than a 36-hour-long trip.

Kasaragod, Apr 10: Eleven people died so far in Kerala's northern district Kasargod as they could not access medical facilities in Mangaloru since the border roads were blocked by the Karnataka Government, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said.

Addressing a press conference at the Government Secretariat here, the Chief Minister said, "It is really unfortunate that people from Kasargod district in Kerala are still being denied treatment in hospitals at Mangalore in Karnataka State."

"We will improve the medical facilities in Kasargod and if necessary, patients will be airlifted to the neighbouring districts in Kerala to provide emergency medical assistance," he added.
