CPI lashes out at 'corrupt BJP and capitalist Congress'

December 31, 2011

Mangalore, December 31: CPI Karnataka State Committee Secretary Dr Siddhanagowda Patil came down heavily on the BJP led State government and the Congress led Central government, calling the former as the corrupt and the latter as the capitalist.

Criticising the BJP government for involving in misappropriations and bringing a bad name to State, he said that the BJP only helped the industries and the religious institutions like mutts to fetch money, while it remained least bothered about the people of Karnataka. And on the other hand, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is not performing his duty as the Prime Minister but is acting as an agent of Multi National Banks and Companies, he alleged.

Patil was delivering the inaugural address at the 21st District Convention organised by the Communist Party of India at Nehru Maidan on Friday. Addressing the CPI workers at the rally followed by the conference, he said that though the BJP leaders are put behind the bars in the State, the Vishwa Hindu Parishat, Bhajrang Dal and associated organisations do not seem to be ashamed of it.

Pejavar seer is blessing the group of these corrupt men which is nothing less than a shame. The State government holds no morality to criticise the Central government when the State government itself is corrupt, he said.

Taking a dig at the Central government, he said, “the Central government is doing favours to the MNCs at the cost of the general public. The government which gives crores of rupees of tax exemption to the Multi National Companies, on the other hand is imposing tax on even the smallest of the goods purchased by the general public. The government is not concerned about the farmers suicides in the nation,” he complained.

Calling the CPM as the only party which is promptly following internal democracy system within the party, he said if the Congress is in the hands of Sonia Gandhi, the BJP is controlled by the RSS and the JD(S) is reserved to family politics. “It is only the CPM which follows democratic method in choosing its leaders,” he said.

He informed that the CPI national convention will be held at Patna in Bihar on March 23, 2012 and the State-level convention will be held in Bangalore on January 11.

CPI DK and Udupi District Committee Secretary K Sanjeev, MLA from Kerala E Chandrashekharan and others were present.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: The Karnataka government on Sunday directed the Director General of Police Praveen Sood to submit a detailed report on the internal security following the United Nations' observation that international terror outfit IS was active in the state.

The UN report stated that Al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent, which reportedly has between 150 and 200 members from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, was reportedly planning attacks in the region.

It also warned that there were 'significant numbers' of ISIS operatives in Karnataka and Kerala. Reacting to the UN report, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the state government has taken a serious note of the report on the activities of IS in the state.

The state government is in touch with the Centre and the neighbouring states to keep a close watch on the activities of suspicious people and their supporters.

"In this context, it has been decided to strengthen the internal security of the state. The Director General of Police has been asked to submit a detailed report," Bommai said in a release.

The state is also keeping a strict vigil on all those entering Bengaluru from other states, the Minister said. He recalled that the state police had arrested several members of Al-Hind organisation in January last and Jamaat- ul-Mujahideen from Bangladesh in 2018 and 2019. He added that the National Investigation Agency is investigating the case of JMB.

Bengaluru, May 28: In a first of its kind initiative, the Karnataka government will soon launch 'Statewide Health Register', a project to maintain the health database of all its citizens, announced Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Wednesday.

The project will kick start from Chikkaballapura and Dakshina Kannada districts.

"With a vision to efficiently deliver quality healthcare to every citizen, Karnataka will soon have a Statewide Health Register. The pilot project will be implemented in Chikkaballapura & Dakshina Kannada dist shortly and completed in 3-4 months. @CMofKarnataka @PMOIndia @JPNadda," tweeted the Minister.

The government plans to get the data collected with the help of a team of Primary Health Centre (PHC) officials, revenue officials, Education Department staff and ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers.

"They will visit each household and collect health data of all the members of the family. This will not just help the government to provide better health care facilities, but also build an efficient resource allocation, management and better implementation of various citizen-centric schemes in the state," the minister added.

Sudhakar also said that the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the necessity of having a robust, real-time public health system.

"Very few countries in the world have taken such an initiative. It is a futuristic project which will include 50 per cent partnership of private hospitals. It would be a cumbersome process but if we do this and digitise it, the data could be used for multiple purposes. The data would help us prioritise healthcare based on geography, demography, and other targeted measures. It would also help medical professionals and scientists for innumerable studies," he said.

"We have consulted all specialists from 18 different departments, and taken their advice into account," said the minister.
