Udupi: Udupi district BJP president Kuilady Suresh Nayak on Friday said that the final decision over Congress leader Pramod Madhvaraj’s migration to BJP will be taken by the BJP state president.
Addressing a press conference at Hotel Kidiyur here, he said that the party members have mulled over in this regard and have passed on their opinion to the state president.
However, he clarified that the party members will stand with the decision of the state president whatsoever.
Further, he said that there has been no information regarding Karkala Congress leader Muniyalu Udaya Kumar Shetty joining the party (BJP).
“BJP welcomes anyone who believes in the party ideology. Be it Pramod Madhvaraj or anyone else, members make the party powerful when they believe in its ideology,” he said.
When asked whether BJP will turn out to be the new Congress since Congress leaders have been joining the party lately, he said that BJP will never become Congress.
“BJP was founded based on a strong ideology. No leader can grow beyond the confines of this ideology. Our party will never give in to a person or a family,” he added.
Now that the district BJP has green-signaled Madhvaraj’s joining into the party, the 8-year anticipation in this regard has finally come to a close.
There are chances that Madhvaraj will join the party in the presence of senior BJP leaders in Bengaluru, according to BJP sources.

Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
