Forget opposition, even Cong leaders not happy with Siddu govt, says Yeddy

February 13, 2016

Udupi, Feb 13: BJP leader BS Yeddyurappa has predicted that there would be more instability in the Congress government in Karnataka after the zilla and taluk panchayat elections.

Speaking to presspersons after addressing a public meeting at Udyavar, near Udupi, the former chief minister said some amount of confusion and dissent was there in all political parties, but dissent in the Congress was increasing by the day and reaching a point of no return. After the zilla and taluk panchayat elections, this dissent would spill out and even the Congress high command would not be able to control it.

The functioning of the Siddaramaiah government had left a lot to be desired. Besides the Opposition, it was now being criticized by its own leaders. Senior Congress leader B. Janardhan Poojary had openly questioned the calibre of the ministers in Mr. Siddaramaiah’s cabinet in Mysuru.

Former Chief Minister S.M. Krishna had publicly said there was no point in filling the potholes and asphalting the roads in Bengaluru only during the Invest Karnataka meet. He too had pointed at inefficient ministers in the cabinet. This showed that senior Congress leaders themselves were dissatisfied with the performance of the State government, he said. On the prospects of the BJP in the zilla and taluk panchayat elections, Mr. Yeddyurappa said the atmosphere was conducive to the BJP in the entire State.

Later speaking at the public meeting, Mr. Yeddyurappa said the State government was lethargic in implementing the Central schemes. Most of the Union government’s schemes were all aimed at the welfare of the common man, he said.

There was lack of governance in the State. With the result, the entire administrative machinery had become lethargic. Instead of holding monthly review meetings to oversee the progress of various departments, Mr. Siddaramaiah was holding them at the fag end of the fiscal year, Mr. Yeddyurappa said. Shobha Karandlaje, MP, Kota Srinivas Poojary, MLC, Raghupati Bhat, Lalaji Mendon, former MLAs, T.V. Hegde, Udaykumar Shetty, Suresh Shetty, Suresh Nayak, BJP leaders, were present.

Major facelift for Mangaluru's sporting heart: Mangala Stadium set for 2-month closure to upgrade synthetic track

News Network

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
