Udupi, Feb 10: Expressing hope that BJP will retain in Udupi zilla panchayat in looming elections, Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje said that the saffron party brought in a new dimension to the administration five years ago.

Speaking to media persons after releasing the party’s manifesto at the BJP office here, she said the zilla panchayat was the hub of corruption during Congress rule.

Congress has already massacred Lokayukta institution and now is all set to annihilate Panchayat Raj System. The government is totally against the strengthening Panchayat Raj system, she criticised.

Karandlaje said the State government decided to conduct elections for zilla and taluk panchayats owing to the strict measures adopted by the Union government. The Union government has already instructed that the states, which fail to hold polls for the rural local bodies in time, will be deprived of nearly Rs 15,000 crore released to gram, taluk panchayat and zilla panchayats. This compelled the State government to announce the elections, she charged.

Alleging that the State government is ‘the worst-ever irresponsible government’, the MP ridiculed that people are curious to know on what grounds the Congress will fight the election as it has never taken any measures during its term to release funds for the betterment of rural areas.

She alleged that Congress is also interfering in the 14th Finance Commission funds released directly to the gram panchayats. The State government has deducted 25 per cent of the sum released citing the reason of pending electricity bills. However, the gram panchayats, which have paid the bills, have also suffered owing to the illogical and illegal attitude of the State government. The deduction is done to those gram panchayats that have paid the electricity bills, she said.

She said the Union government has earmarked about Rs 2 lakh crore under Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) programmes.

She said the planned conspiracy by the government raises doubts against involvement of the politician or a high-ranking official. She alleged that government has not taken legal action against the high-level officers. A few lower cadre officers were detained and later released, she charged.

She said the government mechanism is totally misused. The funds released in the last budget under RDPR Department have remained non-utilised. She said she realised that the action plan has not been approved till January when she discussed the issue of funds earmarked for the drinking water and other rural development works with DCs.

Karandlaje alleged that the State government was lackadaisical in its attitude in approving the action plans.

She said that crematorium and solid waste management units in all gram panchayats will be the top priority of the party. An ombudsman should be appointed to look into the financial transaction that take place in the local governance, she added.

direction of a good platform.

Bengaluru, Mar 15: Former Karnataka chief minister and senior BJP leader B S Yediyurappa was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act on Thursday for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor at his residence in Bengaluru last month.

Yediyurappa, 81, was booked after a woman lodged a complaint saying that she visited his residence on February 2 seeking justice in a rape case against her daughter and sought that a special investigation team (SIT) be formed to look into the case.

According to the first information report (FIR), Yediyurappa allegedly took the minor to a room, closed the door and sexually assaulted her. The woman further alleged in the FIR that when she confronted Yediyurappa, he said that he was checking if the girl was raped or not. Yediyurappa later allegedly apologised and asked the woman not to reveal the matter to anyone.

The Sadashivanagar police in Bengaluru have registered a case under Section 8 (commit sexual assault) of the Pocso Act and Section 354 (a) (sexual harassment) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Reacting to the allegations, the former CM said that around one-and-a-half months ago, they (the victim and her mother) had come to his house seeking help and he had taken them inside. 

“After listening to her, I called the city police commissioner B Dayananda over phone seeking to address her problem. Later, they spoke against me and I then suspected that there is some health problem with her. I sent them to city police commissioner’s office. I even gave her some money as they were in distress. I came to know that an FIR has been registered and will look into it. But this is what I get for helping someone,” he added.

Bengaluru, Mar 19: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said that the Congress will split in three months after the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and its impact will be visible on the Siddaramaiah-led state government.

"Due to internal squabbles, the state government will not last long," the BJP leader said.

Talking to reporters on Monday, he said the sitting MP from the Gadag-Haveri constituency, Shivakumar Udasi, has done a lot of development work and implemented the Central government's schemes effectively.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi will surely become the PM for the third time. The overall response has been good in the Gadag-Haveri Lok Sabha constituency," the former Karnataka chief minister said.

Asked if he was contesting the election in a half-hearted manner in the Gadag-Haveri seat, Bommai said "such a question does not arise when the party's high command gives instructions".

He said he would respect his opponent and not take anyone lightly.

Mangaluru, Mar 28: A fish meal factory in the Baikampady Industrial area in Mangaluru was gutted in a fire incident on Thursday, officials said.

The factory is owned by the company 'Shihar Enterprises', they said.

According to the locals, the fire was first noticed at 4.45 am today, which was immediately reported to the fire department.

The fire engines reached the spot and tried to douse the fire, but it had already spread to other parts of the factory. After almost four hours of fire-fighting operation, the blaze was completely doused, officials.

The reason for the blaze is still being probed, the fire department officials said, adding that they suspect an electric short circuit could have triggered it.
