Mangalore, August 3: A festive mood prevailed in the Bharatiya Janata Party dominated areas across coastal Karnataka soon after Udupi-Chikmagalur MP D V Sadananda Gowda was chosen the next Chief Minister of State.

In Mangalore BJP workers came out on the streets in large numbers distributing sweets and bursting crackers to celebrate DV's victory, who is expected to become the second Chief Minister from Coastal Karnataka after Congress leader M Veerappa Moily.

It can be mentioned that most of the BJP leaders of Coastal Karnataka including MP and MLA's had backed DV, when State BJP had split into two factions following the resignation of BS Yeddyurappa.

Congratulating the 26th Chief Minister of Karnataka, Dakshina Kannada District-in-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar said that DV has chosen as the leader of State BJP Legislature Party in a unique and democratic way of voting.

“Coastal district is proud of DV's victory. This victory has increased the respect of Dakshina Kannada district in the eyes of entire State,” Mr Palemar said.

However, he said that DV is not only confined to his home district or any faction, but, the leader of entire state.

MLA Yogish Bhat stated that election of Sadanada Gowda as new CM, has ended all internal problems of State BJP.

“Soon after the election, both Mr Gowda and Panchayat Raj Minister Jagaish Shettar embraced each other and pledged to work for the development of the state together keeping aside all the differences. This is an example to all,” he said.

Cong Congratulations!

Meanwhile Congress MLA from Mangalore Constituency U T Khader too has congratulated the election of a Dakshina Kannada based candidate as the new CM of State.

“This Coastal District has been neglected by the BJP led Karnataka government, since past three years. This is an opportunity for Sadanada Gowda to end the step motherly attitude of BJP government towards Dakshina Kannada and give justice to the people of his home district,” he said.

‘Apologize or face defamation suit’: Karnataka BJP sends legal notice to DKS, Siddaramaiah

News Network

July 31,2020

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit.

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies.

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry.

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.

I got Rs 12 lakh to help terrorists to carry out R-Day terror attack: DSP Davinder Singh

coastaldigest.com news network

January 14,2020

Srinagar, Jan 14: Davinder Singh, deputy superintendent of police, who was arrested on Saturday along with two Hizb terrorists and a Hizb overground worker in Kulgam, has confessed to his interrogators that he had received Rs 12 lakh from the terrorists to ferry them to Jammu and then Chandigarh for their onward journey to New Delhi, IG (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar told the media here on Monday.

Intelligence sources said the terrorists planned to carry out attacks on Republic Day.

The DSP was suspended on Monday and is likely to be stripped of all his awards, including the President’s Police Medal for anti-militancy operations.

Davinder, who was interrogated by various intelligence agencies, including IB, military intelligence and RAW, besides the police, has disclosed that he had put up the terrorists at his Indira Nagar house in Srinagar, right next to the Army’s 15 Corps HQ, and thereafter accompanied them to Jammu in a Maruti car driven by the Hizb overground worker, intelligence sources claimed.

Meanwhile, sources said the Union home ministry may hand over the case to the NIA to find the real motive of the terrorists, Davinder’s links to terrorism and whether he had helped terrorists in the past as well.

The two Hizb terrorists arrested with Davinder are Naveed Babu alias Babar Azam, a resident of Nazneenpora in south Kashmir’s Shopian district, and his associate Rafi Ahmad Rather. The Hizb overground worker, identified as Irfan Shafi Mir, was driving the vehicle when it was intercepted by the police on Saturday. Irfan Shafi Mir has travelled to Pakistan five times on his passport.

Davinder, interestingly, was on duty ensuring security cover for the envoys of 15 countries who visited Srinagar at the Union government’s invitation last week.

There is 2 side for Terrorism, none have dare to attack or bombing unless there is hand from IB, Police and Intelligence (Also RSS support). Frequent bombings or terror attacks was stopped when Hemant Karkare emerged as true officer.
