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.

Kolkata, Mar 14 (PTI): The United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) on Thursday said its two-day nationwide strike on March 24 and 25 will be observed as scheduled since discussions with the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) over key demands failed to yield any positive outcome.
In a meeting with the IBA, all UFBU constituents raised issues, including recruitment in all cadres and a five-day workweek. Still, the key issues remained unresolved, National Confederation of Bank Employees (NCBE) General Secretary L Chandrasekhar said.
The UFBU, an umbrella body of nine bank employees' associations, earlier announced the strike to press for these demands which included filling up the workmen and officer director posts in public sector banks.
The unions have also sought the withdrawal of recent directives from the Department of Financial Services (DFS) regarding performance reviews and performance-linked incentives, alleging that such measures threaten job security and create employees.
The UFBU has further opposed what it calls "micro-management" of public sector banks by the DFS, arguing that such interventions undermine the autonomy of bank boards.
Other demands include resolving residual issues with the IBA and amending the Gratuity Act to raise the ceiling to Rs 25 lakh, aligning it with the scheme for government employees and seeking exemption from income tax.
The UFBU comprises major bank unions, including the All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA), All India Bank Officers’ Confederation (AIBOC), National Confederation of Bank Employees (NCBE), and All India Bank Officers’ Association (AIBOA).
