Mangaluru, May 7: Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP of Dakshina Kannada has held Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy responsible for the water crisis in Mangaluru.

He was speaking at a protest staged by BJP in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner here on Monday alleging that Home Minister M.B. Patil is functioning in an autocratic manner and the State government is curbing the right to freedom of expression.

Mr Kateel said that though Mangaluru is facing a severe water crisis, the Chief Minister has not paid a visit to the city and tried to address the issue by holding a meeting. The CM is fearing losing his chair, he added.

He said that the coalition government in the State will collapse after the announcement of the results of the Lok Sabha elections on May 23.

Addressing the protesters D Vedavyasa Kamath, MLA, Mangaluru City South, said that the State government is indulging in hate politics. The coalition government is arresting those who spoke against it, he said.

“When a former MLA made derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, no action was taken, though a complaint was filed,” he said.

Questioning the contribution of the coalition government in the State in the past one year, the MLA said that Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy made controversial statements against the people of the coastal region. “But he prefers the coast for relaxing and refreshing,” he added.

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.
