Cannot expect development from 'Khichadi' government: Home Minister Rajnath Singh in Mangaluru
Rajnath took dig at JDS-Congress coalition government in state by terming it 'Khichadi'
Mangaluru: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday noted that the people cannot expect development from Karnataka’s JDS-Congress coalition government while terming it as ‘Khichadi government’.
He was addressing a conference of the party workers of four districts (Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Chickamagalur and Shimoga) in Mangaluru’s Nehru Maidan ahead of Lok Sabha elections in the country.
“The Central government wants to make India a powerful nation in terms of technology and economically rich country. Today, India is the fastest growing country in the world. The rate of inflation in the country has gone down considerably in last five years. 99% of homes now have toilets and India will soon be open defecation free country” Rajnath told party workers.
After Pulwama India won diplomatically over Pakistan:
Rajnath added that India won over Pakistan after the February 14 Pulwama attack. “Every country supported India against Pakistan. Even Pakistan’s own ally China did not support them. It was left isolated. It was a diplomatic victory for India” Rajnath added.
“IAF airstrikes were warning for Pakistan which provides shelter to terrorists. But our own opposition questions the credibility and seeks information about casualties in the attack. We are committed from eradicating terrorism from the country” he further added.
Taking a dig at the JDS-Congress coalition government, Rajnath termed it as ‘Khichadi’ government and added that it has fooled farmers by luring them to vote them to power by using debt waiver in their manifesto. He urged people to help Narendra Modi led BJP to win all 28 seats in the state.
Karnataka BJP President also addressed the conference and added that the Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy had betrayed the people of Karnataka and has failed to waive loans of farmers as promised by him before the elections. He also spoke about how HDK had betrayed BJP when they formed coalition government earlier.
Several party leaders attended the conference including Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, Udupi-Chikmagalur MP Shobha Karandlaje, B. S Raghavendra, Srinivas Poojary and other local and regional leaders of four districts.

Worker’s body reaches Ranchi from Saudi 4 months after death; family rejects over compensation
Ranchi (PTI): The body of a migrant worker from Jharkhand’s Giridih district killed in Saudi Arabia in October last year has arrived at Ranchi Airport, but his family refused to accept it over pending compensation, officials said.
Shikha Lakra, team leader of the state migrant control cell, told PTI that, before taking the body of Vijay Kumar Mahato, the family is demanding compensation from the private company where he used to work in the Arab country.
Mahato was killed in an alleged crossfire between the police and criminals.
“Since it was a bullet injury case, the matter is before a court in Jeddah. The final compensation may depend on the court’s decision,” Lakra said.
“The Indian Embassy informed us about the body’s arrival, and coordination was done with district authorities. Our role is limited to coordination in cases involving overseas employers and foreign jurisdiction,” she added.
Giridih Deputy Commissioner Ram Niwas Yadav said the authorities will try to convince the family to perform the last rites.
“We have already sanctioned Rs 5 lakh under the government scheme for migrant’s deaths abroad. The compensation payment might take some time,” he said.
The body is currently at the mortuary of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi.
The Family members said they will only accept it if the company provides written assurance regarding compensation. “Without that assurance, we will not receive the body,” said Ram Prasad Mahato, the deceased’s brother-in-law.
Mahato, a native of Dudhpaniya village in Madh Gopali panchayat under Dumri block, was employed as a tower line fitter. His family said he was struck by a bullet during a gunfight between local police and an extortion gang and later succumbed to his injuries.
Social activist Sikander Ali said Mahato is survived by his wife, two young sons aged five and three, and elderly parents.
