Go Back Campaign: Being insulted individual’s interest for ticket; Shobha Karandlaje
Udupi, Feb 24: 'Ticket aspirants have been instigating people against me for a reason that I have no financial support, caste support, muscle, and are insulting me. But I am bothered about it", said Udupi-Chikmagalur BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje.
Responding to the reporters here on Sunday, she expressed her anger against those who have been calling for Go Back Movement against her. “They have been instigating a small group of youth to insult me to contest the elections and get the ticket for themselves,” she said.
"I have duly abided my responsibilities entrusted by the state and central leaders. What is their contribution to the party? I have worked for the party for more than 25 years. Let them tell me about their contribution to the party and later ask ticket", she added.
"Being the Lok Sabha Member, I have done my work. It is the responsibility of the senior leaders of the party to give me a ticket. The party would give ticket considering the service and contribution to the party. Go Back Movement would damage the party instead of yielding any individual benefit for anyone", she further added.
"I have brought a number of schemes to the district from the Centre. I have done more development works than any other MP has done earlier here. I am satisfied and sure about what I have done. A lot of things are to be done here, which I will initiate later in near future. If the party ask me to contest in the next election, I would contest. I am committed to carry out the responsibility being given by the party", she said.
What did MP men do?
"I would challenge the men who were the Lok Sabha members for all these years. What did they do? Why they had failed to do the complete work that I have done? I have brought passport office, Kendriya Vidyalaya, upgraded all roads into national highways. Previous MPs have not done it. So I had to get a lot of work done, and I duly did it.”. Shobha said.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
