Udupi MLA Raghupathi Bhat breaks down in tears, says never expected to be dumped by BJP
Udupi: Udupi MLA Raghupathi Bhat on Wednesday broke down before the media reporters and said he was yet to make a decision on contesting the Karnataka polls without a BJP ticket after he was replaced by Yashpal Suvarna by the party as its candidate.
Speaking to the reporters, Bhat said although he was not upset with not getting the ticket but was pained by how the party treated him and dumped him without any communication.
Replying to questions on reports of him joining the Janardhan Reddy’s party, Bhat said those were rumors and were triggered by people who got the party ticket hinting at Yashpal Suvarna.
He however asserted that he had not expected the party to dump him over his caste. “I have no complaints with the party leadership or PM Modi, but was I needless for the party? I came to know about being dumped by the party through the media, I was not informed of the move, had they asked me, I would’ve resigned myself,” Bhat told reporters.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
