Bengaluru, Apr 12: Karnataka BJP president B S Yeddyurappa has warned his party’s candidates that they would not get expected results in the Assembly elections if they failed to woo Dalits and backward classes in their constituencies.

Speaking at a pre-poll workshop of the BJP on election management, the former chief minister stressed the need for taking all the communities with the party to counter popular leaders like Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

Thanking the party high command for continued support, he said: “Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah are touring the State extensively to rout the Congress. Similarly, the central leaders are touring all the Assembly constituencies and monitoring our activities.”

Continuing his attack at Siddaramaiah, he said the defeat of the Congress would begin from the Chief Minister’s home district of Mysuru. “People of the State are disgusted with the Congress government and the Chief Minister is finding it difficult to retain his existence in his Assembly constituency,” he said.

Yeddyurappa urged the party workers and leaders to dedicate their full time for the party organisation for about a month, till the completion of the elections.

Mangaluru, Dec 2: Mangaluru International Airport responded to a medical emergency late on Monday night. Air India Express flight IX 522, travelling from Riyadh to Thiruvananthapuram, was diverted to Mangaluru Airport after a passenger in his late 30s experienced a medical emergency on board.

The Airport’s Operations Control Centre received an alert regarding the passenger’s health condition. The airport activated its emergency response protocol, mobilising the airport medical team and coordinating with stakeholders including CISF, immigration, and customs.

Upon landing, airport medical personnel attended to the passenger, assessed his condition, and arranged to shift him to a local tertiary-care hospital for further treatment. The passenger’s relatives accompanied the passenger, who incidentally received necessary medical care on board, which helped stabilise the situation.

Following the handling of the emergency, the flight departed for Thiruvananthapuram at 2:05 am on Tuesday.

"We appreciate the cooperation of all parties involved, and this incident reaffirms our ongoing commitment to prioritising passenger safety and readiness to respond to unforeseen emergencies with professionalism and care," the Airport spokesperson said.
