October 30, 2011

Udupi, October 30: Udupi District Congress Committee on Sunday evening took out a march from Ambalpady junction on the NH- 17 to Service Bus Stand to protest against Advani's Jana Chethana Yathra entering Udupi district on Monday afternoon.

Former Minister K Jayaprakash Hegde, District Congress President Gopal Poojary, Udupi Block Congress President Pramod Madhwaraj, KPCC secretary MA Gafoor, Narasimhamurthy, Murali Shetty, Amrith Shenoy, Krishnamurthy Acharya, Hareesh Kini and others participated in the protest. Agitators shouted the slogan `Advani Go Back'.

Speaking on the occasion Jayaprakash Hegde hinted that a case against BJP MLA CT Ravi will be booked in another two days. Gopal Poojary advised Advani to first dismiss the tainted leaders of the party and then tour the state.

Pramod Madhwaraj ridiculed that Advani yathra was not against corruption, but to continue his long lasting attempt of becoming a Prime Minister, that too to show off before his contender Narendra Modi.

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.
