Bagalkote: Shirahatti Jagadguru Fakeera Dingaleshwara Swamiji has accused that the corruption in the state has reached such a level where even the grant allotted for the Matts requires a 30% commission to be given before their release, he said.
Speaking at the concluding program of the Krishna-Mahadayi-Navali Sankalpa Yatre organized by the Uttara Karnataka Swabhimani Vedike at Badangadi in Bilagi Taluk on Sunday night, the Swamiji said, “Only after having taken a percentage from the grants allotted to the Matts, do any of the construction works begins. Otherwise it doesn’t “, he expressed his sadness.
“We have foolish governments coming in now. Only if the state’s farmers run a protest modelled after the farmers' protest in North India which continued without them admitting defeat to deaths and injuries, only then will we get food. Otherwise, we will not get anything. We have to become very clever”, Fakeera Dingaleshwara Swamiji urged the farmers.

Bhopal (PTI): Hockey India on Thursday announced the 24-member Indian U-18 Men's and Women's squads for the upcoming home series against Australia from May 15 to 20.
The four-match series, to be played at SAI Bhopal, is a critical part of the teams' preparations for the Men's and Women's U-18 Asia Cup to be held at Kakamigahara, Japan, from May 29-June 6.
The squad members were selected after a week of rigorous evaluation during the national coaching camp, where the initial group of 42 players was narrowed down based on match fitness and tactical adaptability.
Forward Ketan Kushwaha has been named captain of the Indian U-18 men’s team, while the Indian U-18 women’s side will be led by Sweety Kujur.
"After a productive week in the camp, we have identified the 24 players whom we believe are ready for international exposure. These matches against Australia are not just practice games as they are a vital test of our match temperament and tactical discipline.
“Ketan is a natural leader, and I am keen to see how this group handles the pace and pressure of the Australian style before we head to the U-18 Asia Cup in Japan," said Sardar Singh, coach of men’s side.
“We have pruned the squad to 24 players who have shown the greatest consistency and growth during the camp. Sweety has the experience and vision required to lead this young side effectively.
“Playing four matches against a top-tier side like Australia in Bhopal will give us a clear picture of our strengths and the areas that need adjustment. This series is the ultimate dress rehearsal for the girls before the Asia Cup,” said Rani Rampal, women team’s head coach.
