Take steps for education of children of Kodagu victims: DVS
Bengaluru, August 22: Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda urged the state government to list out the children sheltered in relief camps and supply textbooks to them as the children were being deprived from education.
In his tweet, the minister said that if their parents agreed, the government should make arrangements to admit them to residential schools and provide free education. Normally, the parents would not agree to send their children away as they would be depressed mentally during such critical time. In such circumstances, temporary school or special residential school should be opened locally to educate the children, he tweeted.
The government should immediately constitute a committee to ensure good education to the children staying in relief camps. If the government gave him the details, he would get the available assistance from the departments concerned. No child should be deprived of the education and the government should make sure that the children who would admit to residential schools should get money as and when they require to get necessary things, he tweeted.

Bypoll results will decide the future of Congress in Karnataka: BJP leader Ashoka
Bengaluru (PTI): Leader of Opposition BJP in the Karnataka Assembly R Ashoka said the results of the bypolls in Davanagere South and Bagalkote assembly constituencies will decide the future of the ruling Congress in the state.
The bypolls were necessitated following the demise of sitting Congress MLAs Shamanur Shivashankarappa and H Y Meti, who represented Davanagere South and Bagalkote constituencies respectively.
The ruling Congress has fielded Shamanur Shivashankarappa’s grandson and Karnataka Minister S S Mallikarjun’s son Samarth Shamanur in Davanagere South and Umesh Meti in Bagalkote, who are locked in a direct contest with BJP candidates T Dasakariyappa and Veerabhadrayya Charantimath.
According to Ashoka, there is a contest between the poor and the rich in the upcoming bypolls, scheduled on April 9.
"The Congress will lose this election, and the future of the state will be decided. Since Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said ‘Make the poor win’, the BJP has fielded poor candidates,” the BJP leader said in a press conference.
In Davanagere, the BJP has given a ticket to an ordinary person, whereas Congress has given tickets to powerful and influential people. In Bagalkote, there is a very good opinion about the BJP candidate, he claimed.
According to him, the Congress has given space to dynastic politics in both places. Therefore, the BJP has a strong chance of winning in both constituencies.
The LoP said if the Congress candidate wins in Davanagere, it is understood that Muslims will not get opportunities in the future, and therefore, Muslims are opposing the Congress party.
He also charged that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who talks about uniting backward classes, has not given a ticket to backward class candidates.
