Mangalore, October 25: The BJP is sure of getting outstanding response to Advani's Rathyathra, which will be entering the district on October 30.


Addressing a news conference in Mangalore on Monday after holding discussion over the preparations required to welcome L K Advani's Rathyathra, BJP General Secretary C T Ravi said that the 41-day long yatra intends to spread awareness against corruption, stress on bringing back the black money hoarded in foreign banks and to take measures to make administrative mechanism more efficient.


“Party workers from Belthangady and Bantwal will come to the city in a 'padayatra' and express support to the Rathyatra of Advani, he said adding that as many as 30 different wings have been formed for the success of the yatra in the state,” he said.


Sixth rathyatra


“This is the 6th rathyatra of 84-year old Advani. With his clean character and credibility that he has maintained over 57 years of political life, he is in a position to face any challenge,” said Ravi.


Guilty will be punished


Ravi said that corruption has engulfed even the BJP but it has not smothered the party. He said that senior leader L K Advani will be giving out a clear message through his rathayatra that wrong doers and guilty will not be spared at any cost.


With regard to Home Minister R Ashoka, Ravi said that there are only allegations, and not been proved yet. Hence there is no question of keeping him away at all.


“Advani will surely visit Bangalore and R Ashoka will take part in the programme to be held there,” he said adding that if the allegations are proved against any BJP leaders then they will be expelled from the party without any second thoughts.


“B S Yeddyurappa tendered his resignation as soon as the Lokayukta report was out. But there are people like Raj Kumar in Sheela Dixit's cabinet who have not stepped down from the post despite the allegations being proved,” he said adding that BJP leaders have set examples for others through their conduct.

Bengaluru, Jan 5: B S Yediyurappa-led Karnataka cabinet has finally decided to resume supply of subsidised rice and wheat to students of welfare institutions and hostels including those run by religious mutts under the Dasoha Scheme’s welfare programme. The supply was stopped over two months ago.

“Cabinet has decided to continue supply of subsidised foodgrains (rice and wheat) for the benefit of 37,700 children under the Dasoha scheme in 351 welfare institutions for the next one year at the cost of Rs 18 crore,” said J C Madhuswamy, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister. Under this scheme, institutions that provide free accommodation and food for students are entitled to avail 10 kg rice and 5 kg wheat per student every month at subsidised rates. But following a central government directive in November, the state government had stopped supply to private institutions since December.

Hours before the cabinet meeting, Khader addressed a press conference and said, “This government is snatching away food from children by stalling the supply of foodgrains. Institutions like Suttur Mutt, Siddaganga Mutt that have worldwide fame for their service are being inconvenienced by this,” Khader said.

Finding itself in a fix, especially in a matter that involves mutts, the cabinet was quick to restore the supply. “Foodgrains were being supplied to 183 government-run institutions and 281 institutions run by private entities. As per a central government directive, supply to private institutions was stopped but the decision was made by the previous government,” Shashikala Jolle, Women and Child Development Minister, said.

Mangaluru, Aug 4: The Kasaragod district administration has decided to restore the e-pass system for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru amid covid-19 crisis. 

As covid-19 cases began to increase in Dakshina Kannada, the Kasargod district administration had unilaterally newly introduced of daily pass system on July 6 for entry and exit from Talapady border. This had inconvenienced hundreds of employees, who visited Mangaluru daily to eke a living. 

The decision to resume the pass system was taken in a video conference of Kerala Revenue Minister Chandrasekharan with officials and elected representatives on August 3.

The minister said the Kasaragod district administration will resume issuing of passes for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru. But they should undergo rapid antigen test for every week to renew their passes.

"Similarly, one-time interstate passes will be issued for those who want to take part in marriages, funeral and other functions in both states. Even they should undergo antigen test after returning from the functions,” the minister added.

As per the previous order, daily commuters, especially employees, had to stay in Mangaluru for 28 days before returning to Kasargod. Later, Kerala government relaxed rules on July 23 allowing only bank employees from Kasaragod to travel daily in their private vehicles to their workplace in Dakshina Kannada.
