June 14, 2011

Mangalore, June 14: The Dakshina Kannada Pradesh Congress Committee (DKPCC) will launch a two-month campaign “Congressna Nadige Janara Balige” (march of Congress towards people) from June 15 to create awareness about various development schemes of the Centre.

It will throw light on the failure of the State government in implementing many welfare measures.

B. Ramanath Rai, District president of Congress, told presspersons on Monday that the party men would be meeting people at the block and booth level and speak about the development schemes such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, the National Rural Health Mission, the National Horticultural Mission, and the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan.

Mr. Rai said many did not know about the Central government schemes and therefore had not been able to use them. He said leaders of the block-level and booth-level teams were given an orientation about the Central government schemes on Monday. Mr. Rai said the campaign would focus on the way the Manmohan Singh-led government had been fighting against corruption Mr. Rai said the Congress workers would highlight the failure of the B.S. Yeddyurappa government in the implementation of social welfare schemes.

Nati koli saaru, fry, idli, vada and pongal on Siddaramaiah’s breakfast menu at DKS’ residence

Bengaluru: 'Nati koli saaru' (country chicken curry) considered one of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s favourites along with steaming hot idlis was on the breakfast menu at Deputy CM D K Shivakumar’s residence on Tuesday, according to official sources.

The spread also included 'nati koli' fry, vada and pongal, among other items, they said.

In an apparent show of unity, Siddaramaiah visited Shivakumar’s residence for breakfast, just days after the two leaders shared a meal amid a simmering power tussle in the state Congress.

Siddaramaiah drove to the Deputy CM’s residence in Sadashivanagar, where he was received by Shivakumar and his brother D K Suresh, who is a former Congress MP.

Suresh and Kunigal MLA H D Ranganath, a relative of Shivakumar, joined them for breakfast, which featured a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Speaking to reporters later, Siddaramaiah said Shivakumar had invited him during his visit to the CM’s residence for breakfast on Saturday.

Asked about the difference between the two meals, the chief minister said, "At his (Shivakumar’s) house it was non-veg, while at my house it was veg. He is a vegetarian, I am a non-vegetarian. I had not prepared non-veg. I told DK to get chicken from the village as you won’t get the original in Bengaluru."

Shivakumar said he had initially invited Siddaramaiah to his residence, but the CM had suggested visiting his place first and reciprocating later. "It was a vegetarian breakfast at the CM’s house on Saturday," he noted.

"Today, I invited him (the CM) to my house. He enjoyed the breakfast, which had his Mysuru taste," Shivakumar added. At this point, Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar’s wife is also from Mysuru.

Saturday’s breakfast at Siddaramaiah’s official residence, held as part of efforts by the Congress high command to ease tensions in the leadership dispute between the two, reportedly included idlis and sambar, according to official sources.
