‘Nalin Hatao Karavali Karyakarta Bachao’ campaign by BJP activists?
Facebook campaign against the MP
Mangaluru: As the Lok Sabha election approaching, a campaign against MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has gone viral on social media by a Facebook page named 'Nalin Hatao Karavali Karyakarta Bachao.'
The FB page that pretends to be owned by BJP workers has launched a campaign against MP Nalin Kumar. While PM Narendra Modi has been supported, at the same time MP Nalin Kumar has been criticized throughout the page.
Here is the extract of the Kannada text written on the page. "The incompetent MP is not suitable for the Modi government. I, being an honest follower of Modi, will not allow you to stigmatise the Modi’s name.” The Facebook page that has the photo of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched the campaign by the name ‘Abhyarthi Badalisi, BJP Gellisi (Change the candidate, elect BJP),”.
The page contains write up against MP Nalin in the English language as well. It has been mentioned in heading as 'Mangaluru MP’s Report Card.' Further written, “BJP activists lost their hopes with Nalin kumar kateel and reporting pm modi we need mp who care for us.”
“Narendra Modiji this is the Gift of your MP! The slope in NH66 has lead to so many Accidents. No Roadwork signals. It seems like a Road to death. Many have died due to accidents since few months, but the MP has failed. Kindly take some actions ji.”
"My friend met with an accident on Yekkur -Pumpwell Road. The incident took place because of the negligence of highway authorities and the district MP.”
In a war of criticism against MP Nalin Kumar on the social media platform, the write up reads "Mp Nalin should not be given the Lok Sabha ticket from Dakshina Kannada for any reason.”
The creation of such a Facebook page to support PM Modi and vehemently criticise MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, that too when the Lok Sabha polls are near, has become a matter of discussion among the public.
It can be recalled that during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections also, a group within the same political party had opposed the issuance of MP ticket to Nalin Kumar Kateel. A campaign was also launched against him. Due to which, there were discussions about Kateel missing the ticket. But at the last minute, he was successfully got the ticket.

Karnataka SSLC question papers to have new format for academic year 2024-25
Bengaluru: In a significant shift, the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has reportedly announced changes to the format of the SSLC annual exam question papers for the academic year 2024-25 and released a blueprint outlining these revisions. This overhaul, the first major revision since 2019-20, is aimed at enhancing the quality of learning and reducing students' dependence on rote memorisation.
Marks will now be allocated based on themes rather than individual chapters, with a focus on key concepts, according to a report published by The Hindu on Monday. For instance, language papers can be organised around themes such as prose, poetry, and grammar, while core subjects will feature units that combine multiple lessons.
A significant component of this change is the reintroduction of a weightage system based on learning objectives, which includes: remembering (20%), understanding (40%), and application (20%). In addition, 15% of the marks will be allocated to skills such as diagram drawing, while 5% will focus on higher-order thinking questions that encourage critical analysis and problem-solving.
“This method ensures equal importance is given to all chapters during teaching and learning. Teachers and students can move away from the practice of preparing for exams solely based on chapter-wise marks allocation. While specific marks are not assigned to individual chapters, clear weightage is given to relevant themes. This approach guarantees comprehensive practice for each chapter and allows for diverse question types in the exams,” the blueprint stated, as cited by the news outlet.
Key changes also include a reduction in the number of one-mark and two-mark questions, in favour of more three-mark and four-mark questions and the introduction of one five-mark question.
The blueprint mentioned that one-mark questions, which often lead to guesswork, would be replaced with more descriptive questions that challenge students to think critically, write extensively, and refine their expression skills.
The updated question paper format will include 45 questions for the first language, and 38 questions for other subject papers. Some of the three-mark, four-mark, and five-mark questions may contain sub-questions. Additionally, internal choice questions, worth a total of 20 marks, will continue to be part of the exam and will be based on the same themes and chapters as the primary questions.
Despite these revisions, KSEAB has clarified that the overall difficulty level of the exams will remain unchanged. The distribution of marks will continue to follow the same pattern as in previous years, with 30% of questions considered easy or very easy, 50% of average difficulty, and 20% deemed difficult.
