Bengaluru, Aug 28: The state BJP on Sunday commenced district-wise meetings of its units to deliberate on a plan of action to strengthen the party’s political activity at the grassroots ahead of the Assembly polls.

Members of the core committee headed by BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa will be present at each of the meetings which will go on for the next five days. The districts of Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru, Uttara Kannada and Udupi were covered on Sunday.

The meetings come close on the heels of party national president Amit Shah’s recent warning to state leaders that he expected visible progress in the party’s performance as well as improvement in its image in the coming weeks, failing which he will be forced to crack the whip.

Review meeting

Shah held a review meeting with core committee members in New Delhi on Saturday.

Prime on the agenda of the party is to strengthen booth-level committees and sort out differences, if any among district leaders.

The party has decided to take out “Nava Karnataka Parivartan Yatra” to expose the “misdeeds” of the Siddaramaiah government.

wwThe yatra will start on November 1 to coincide with Kannada Rajyotsava.

The BJP is planning six mega conventions in different parts of the state in the coming weeks. The party will also organise protests, dharnas, rallies, two-wheeler rallies, torch-light processions and silent processions against the government at the state, district and taluk levels.

Speaking at a party event in Bengaluru, Yeddyurappa said a large number of leaders from other parties will be joining the BJP three months ahead of the polls.

He said ticket has not been promised to anybody to contest the elections and it will be decided by Shah. Yeddyurappa said the party should strive to secure a thumping majority in the polls.

DKS ex-aide joins BJP

Earlier, Bengaluru unit Congress general secretary Varaprasad Reddy joined the BJP along with his supporters in presence of Yeddyurappa. Reddy was said to have been close to Energy Minister D K Shivakumar and his brother and Bangalore Rural MP D K Suresh. He recently fell out with them.

Mangaluru, May 13: Karnataka revised its standard operating procedure (SOP) for international passengers to allow pregnant women, children and senior citizens to entre home quarantine if they test negative for covid-19. 

The development comes after former minister and Mangaluru MLA U T Khader urged the government to follow the Kerala model in handling the repatriates and take extra care of pregnant women and senior citizens at Mangaluru and Bengaluru Airports.

Passengers will be initially dived into two categories. Category A includes passengers symptomatic on arrival while Category B passengers are those asymptomatic on arrival. 

While category A passengers will be directly shifted to covid-19 hospital, category B passengers will be sent to 14-day institutional quarantine.

If there are pregnant women, children below 10 years of age and senior citizens in category B, they will remain in institutional quarantine until they obtain a negative report (after throat swab testing for covid-19). It may take one or two days to get the throat swab testing report.

Belagavi, Feb 11: Tension prevailed for sometime here after a few villagers spotted four country-made pistols disposed in the garbage site by the road between Markandey Nagar – Waghavade village on Sunday. Police rushed to the spot and seized the arms which are believed to be of Portugal era.

Sources said some villagers noticed a pistol lying along with heaps of refuse. They informed Bhavakanna Patil, the owner of the agricultural field adjacent to the garbage site. Patil and the villagers checked the garbage and found three more pistols totalling four.

Police said the pistols are about 50 to 60 years old. Going by their condition, all rusted, it is believed that they were left unused for a long time. The Belagavi rural police who have filed a suo motu case related to the incident are getting into the skin of case to trace the owners and those who disposed them in the garbage pit. 

According to preliminary investigation, it is learnt that such pistols were in vogue during Portugal rule in Goa. There are chances that those who inherited the arms may have disposed it for the fear of possessing weapon illegally. The chances of some notorious people who reside in the vicinity near Waghavade and surrounding areas, where burglaries and dacoity are frequently reported, disposing the arms due to the fear of police also cannot be ignored. Police Commissioner Lokesh Kumar was not available for comments.
