Udupi, February 27: Congress candidate for Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha bypoll Korgi Jayaprakash Hegde filed his nomination here at DC office on Monday.

He filed his nomination exactly at 11: 15 am and handed over the nomination papers to DC Dr M T Reju.

He was accompanied by dozens of Congress leaders including Union Minister for Corporate Affairs M Veerappa Moily, Union Minister for Labour and Employment Mallikarjun Kharge, former union minister B Janardhan Poojary, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President G Parameshwar, All India Congress Committee general secretary and in-charge of party affairs in Karnataka, Madhusudan Mistry, Bantwal MLA B Ramanath Rai and Mangalore MLA U T Khader.

Speaking to media persons on the occasion Mr Hegde expressed his confidence to defeat the BJP and JD(S) candidates in March 18 by-election.

He said though he had lost the same constituency as a new candidate in the last election, the situation has changed now. “Even after losing the election I have been with the people responding to their problems. The people will favour the Congress in this election and we would certainly win. If the public opinion gets converted as votes then the Congress would win with a huge margin,” he said.

He said that the reason for the Congress losing the last election was the lack of time for publicity purpose. But the situation is not the same any more. Uncertainty has loomed large over the existence of the BJP government in the State. The people should analyse the work taken up by the last MP who was elected from this constituency and then exercise their franchise, he said.

Bengaluru, Jun 17: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has directed Minorities Department officials to take steps for tabling the Karnataka Lokayukta report on alleged irregularities in wakf properties in Karnataka, during the next session of the State legislature.

Following the Anwar Manipaddi report on alleged irregularities in wakf properties, the Lokayukta conducted the probe. The Siddaramaiah government rejected both the Anwar Manipaddi report and the Lokayukta report.

The Chief Minister issued the directions to officials during a review of the department works on Tuesday, said an official press release. The Lokayukta reportedly named several Congress leaders and senior officers in the scam.

The Lokayukta conducted the probe and submitted the report containing 15 volumes to the State government during the Siddaramaiah government’s tenure.

Gadag, May 9: It is the month of April, and the season of mangoes is very much here. However, the mango farmers of Gadag are suffering huge losses amid the coronavirus lockdown due to the absence of transportation facilities along with several other issues that have been impacting their business adversely.

Speaking to media persons, Vishwanath Odugowdar, a mango farmer said, "Due to transportation problems we are not being able to export mangoes to different countries. We are trying to sell them in nearby markets."

"We are not in a situation to pack, transport and export the mangoes to different countries as we did earlier especially 
when it comes to Alphonso mangoes which is one of the most loved varieties. So, we are packing mangoes at our place. Somehow this year we have got very good quality of mangoes," he added.

Farmers here are incurring huge losses as mandis and markets across the country are shut while the transport of Alphonso mangoes has also come to a halt owing to the lockdown.

The small and medium scale farmers in places like Gadag, Dharwad, Bagalkote in north Karnataka have started packing the mangoes themselves in their farms in a bid to sell the fruit themselves.
