Discrimination from district minister: JDS councilors alleged
Ullala City Municipal Council
Mangaluru, Dec 19: Ullala CMC member and JDS state general secretary Dinakar Ullal alleged that by changing various works worth Rs 25 crore sanctioned under Nagarothana scheme of the City Municipal Council, District Minister UT Khader has done injustice to JDS councilors.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, he said that in the last CMC election, the JDS candidates have defeated Congress candidates due to which Congress leaders were disappointed. Now, the sanctioned programmes were changed through the followers of the Minister, he alleged.
Though there was Congress-JDS coalition government in the state, District Minister UT Khader who is also the MLA of the constituency, has involved in hatred politics and thus discriminating the JDS members. Though they have drawn the attention of the Minister and officials, nothing was happened. Next week, the JDS councilors would go to Bengaluru and inform the situation to the party leaders. If the problem was not solved, then they would move the court and bring stay order, he said.
Ullala CMC limits JDS president Musthafa, members UM Jabbar, Khaleel Ullal, Mustaq Patla were present at the press conference.

BJP rule in Maharashtra worse than Aurangzeb’s time: Sanjay Raut
Mumbai, Mar 14 (PTI): Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Friday called the BJP rule in Maharashtra worse than that of Aurangzeb and claimed that farmers were dying because of the saffron party.
He claimed that farmers, unemployed people and women are committing suicides in the state.
“It’s been 400 years since Aurangzeb was buried. Forget him. Are farmers in Maharashtra committing suicide due to Aurangzeb? They are doing it because of you," Raut said.
If the Mughal ruler committed atrocities, then what is the government doing, he asked. BJP leads the ruling Mahayuti coalition, also comprising the Shiv Sena and NCP, in the state.
“Farmers are committing suicide. BJP's tenure is worse than that of Aurangzeb,” Raut said.
He was responding to a question on Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s remarks that “everyone” feels Mughal ruler Aurangzeb’s tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar should be removed. But it has to be done under legal purview as the previous Congress regime put the site under the Archaeological Survey of India's protection, Fadnavis had said.
BJP's Satara MP Udayanraje Bhosale, a descendant of Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, had sought the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb located in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.
Aurangzeb is remembered in Maharashtra for his battles with the Marathas, who resisted his expansionist ambitions. Shivaji Maharaj's son, Sambhaji, was captured, tortured, and executed on his orders.
