Give Congress a majority, get a stable government: P Chidambaram appeals voters
Mangaluru: Co-operate with the Congress party in the development of the state and once again allow forming a stable government by getting a clear majority for Congress party, said former finance minister and Congress leader P. Chidambaram.
Addressing a press conference at Dakshina Kannada District Congress office, Mr. Chidambaram said that entire country is concerned about the state's May 12th Assembly elections.
"The state has developed in the growth index during the last five years of Siddaramaiah-led government. People's standard of living is also developed. The issue of unemployment is lower than other states in the country, and this is a sign of development," he said.
Briefing the state's development index with statistics, the former finance minister said: "the problem of unemployment in the country is 5.9%, whereas in Karnataka it is 2.6% and 5% in Gujarat."
"After Devaraj Arasu, It is Siddaramaiah who gave a complete five years' stable government in the state. The people of the state had given the opportunity to BJP from 2008 to 2013. During this period, three chief ministers ran the government, and that was the worst governance. There was more corruption than development during the BJP's rule. Now, when the BJP is unable to recount the achievements of its term, it is spending time in searching loopholes in Siddaramaiah's government," Mr. Chidambaram added.
AICC spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill, KPCC General Secretary UB Venkatesh, Congress district president Harish Kumar, Sadashiva Ullal, Ibrahim Kodijal were present.

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.
