Union Minister Pralhad Joshi accuses Congress of opportunistic politics
Hubballi: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has come out strong against the Congress government, alleging that it is engaging in opportunistic politics by purportedly planning to transfer reservation benefits from Dalits to Muslims within the OBC category.
Addressing journalists in Hubballi on Thursday, Joshi claimed that the Congress, despite claiming to support Dalits, is now willing to compromise their interests for the sake of appeasing the Muslim community in the state. He further accused the party of disrespecting prominent Dalit figures like Ambedkar and Babu Jagjivan Ram.
Joshi also pointed out that the Congress is currently in power only in Karnataka and Telangana, with its government facing challenges even in Himachal Pradesh. He criticised the party's alleged double standards and suggested that its credibility has diminished among the public.
Joshi also took aim at Congress leaders, accusing them of visiting Karnataka solely to gather funds and questioning their commitment to the welfare of the people. He expressed confidence in the BJP winning 400 seats citing reports suggesting a victory for the party in 370-380 seats in the upcoming elections.

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.
