Udupi, Jun 12: BJP leader and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has claimed that the welfare programmes launched by the prime minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the centre has reached all communities and development has reached all the villages in the country.

Speaking to media persons here yesterday, Mr Kateel said that the country had seen rapid progress in the last four years of Modi government. “Even U.S. President Donald Trump has acknowledged that India was an economic power to reckon with. The country had seen about 7 % growth in GDP. Mr. Modi had given corruption-free governance during this period. The military prowess of the country could be gauged by the fact that it had conducted cross-border military strikes. Yet, at the same time, the country’s relations with other nations had improved,” he said.

The BJP was now in power in over 20 States in the country. It had provided electricity supply to 18,000 villages under the Deen Dayal Electrification Scheme. To give a push to cleanliness and sanitation in the country, 7.5 crore toilets have been constructed under the Swachh Bharat scheme, he said.

Nearly 3.8 crore people have been provided with LPG cylinders under Ujwala scheme. The government has given loans to 10 crore youth under the Mudra scheme so that they could become self-employed. The government was also providing training in skill development to the youth so that their chances of getting employed increased, he said.

Nearly 31.6 crore people in the country had been brought under banking network through the Jan Dhan Yojana. Optical Fibre Cables had been drawn to all villages so that there was better connectivity in the country, he said.

About 2.5 crore poor people have been provided with housing in the country in the last four years under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana. To provide healthcare facilities to the poor people, the government had started the Ayushman Bharat scheme, he said.

Karnataka cabinet expansion only after Yediyurappa’s Davos visit

News Network

January 17,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 17: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa is likely to induct new ministers into his cabinet only after he returns from Davos, Switzerland, on January 25.

Yediyurappa will leave for Davos on January 19 to participate in the World Economic Forum’s 50th annual meet.

Sources say Yediyurappa is keen on expanding his cabinet before he leaves for Davos and is still trying to secure the green signal from BJP national president Amit Shah. However, Shah has cold-shouldered Yediyurappa’s several requests for a meeting to discuss the issue.

Shah is scheduled to visit Karnataka on January 18 to participate in a pro-Citizenship (Amendment) Act rally in Hubballi and the CM plans to corner him there. But, given the time constraint, Yediyurappa is likely to put off the exercise till he returns from Davos even if Shah extends approval.

“Even if Shah gives the green signal, Yediyurappa will have less than 24 hours to expand his cabinet,” a source said. “It is highly unlikely he will rush through the process of inducting ministers. Also, his presence is required to douse disgruntlement which is bound to arise once the new ministers are sworn in.”

The CM and the party high command are on different pages as far as cabinet expansion is concerned. While Yediyurappa is hell-bent on keeping his promise of inducting all the newly elected MLAs, who switched from Congress and JD(S) to the BJP, Shah is keen on sharing vacant berths equally between loyal MLAs and the new entrants. There are 16 cabinet berths vacant.

Shah, sources said, is of the opinion that giving 12 berths to the turncoats will lead to heartburn among loyalists and it will impact the party’s prospects in the next election. “Moreover, he is of the opinion that none of the turncoats have mass appeal, nor do they have any administrative experience. This, he thinks, will impact governance,” said a source.

This has resulted in a deadlock and the issue has dragged on for a month now.

Bengaluru, July 14: Ahead of the week-long lockdown in Bengaluru starting from Tuesday night, around 35,000 people have left the city and grocery stores and liquor shops are witnessing a rush with customers thronging to stock up on for the shutdown.

According to transport department officials, labourers from other parts of the state migrated in good numbers from Bengaluru ahead of the lockdown fearing that they would have to face similar challenges as they had to confront during the previous shuttering.

"Yesterday 35,000 passengers left Bengaluru. The number is big given the fact that we are allowing a limited number of passengers in the buses to maintain social distancing," a KSRTC official said.

Tipplers made a beeline for liquor shops and a senior State Excise official said liquor worth Rs 230 crore was sold on Monday alone.

"There was apparently a mad rush yesterday.India Made Foreign Liquor worth Rs 215.55 crore and 14.83 crore worth beer was sold...," the officer said.

In view of the rising coronavirus cases in the city at an alarming proportion, the government decided to impose lockdown from Tuesday 8 pm till 5 am on July 22.

Later, Dharwad and Dakshina Kannada districts too decided to impose a lockdown for nine days and seven days respectively from Wednesday.

"For the past two days there is an unusual rush of customers in our store," an executive of the Metro Cash and Carry said.

According to him, people are buying grocery items and vegetables with long shelf life such as onion, potato, radish, carrot and beetroot.

A salesperson at the Star Bazaar too said people were thronging the store for the past two to three days.

During the Sunday curfew, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the week-long lockdown will be stringent one and government has made all arrangements to address all concerns ahead of the shutdown.

As many as 19,702 people in Bengaluru have tested positive, of which there are 15,052 active cases, while 4,328 have been discharged.

The number of fatalities as of Monday is 321.

Across Karnataka, 41,581 people have tested positive for coronavirus including 24,572 active cases, 16,248 discharges and 757 deaths since the outbreak of the pandemic in the state.
