Pejavara Shree lacks knowledge: Shobha Karanadlaje
‘Government’s performance is not as expected’ Swamiji’s statement
Mangaluru: Pajavara Shree is a seer. How much he has learned about the central government’s achievements through media and how much information he has obtained from activists? Therefore, we will try to provide the information regarding central government’s developmental works to Swamiji through seniors, said MP Shobha Karandlaje.
She told this to media persons while addressing a press conference following the Pejavara Shree’s statement in which he had said that the central government’s performance is not as expected.
“I do not know on what basis the Pejawara Shree has given this statement. Ganga cleaning is a massive project. It is not easy to clean the garbage from Agra to various parts of the country. However, those who have seen the Ganges four years ago can come to know how is it now,” she said.
“The central government has passed a bill to bring back black money from foreign countries. Black money needs to be brought back by adjusting with the rules of foreign countries. Measures are being taken up in that regard,” the BJP MP added.

Dhyan Chand lifetime award to be replaced by Arjuna lifetime
New Delhi, Oct 24: The sports ministry on Thursday announced the discontinuation of the Dhyan Chand Award for lifetime achievement from this year onwards and the introduction of the Arjuna Award Lifetime in its place in a bid to "rationalise" the various sporting honours of the country.
Instituted in 2002, the Dhyan Chand Lifetime Award, named after hockey wizard Major Dhyan Chand, is given to individuals in disciplines that are part of the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games, among others.
In 2023, the award was given to former shuttler Manjusha Kanwar, ex-hockey exponent Vineet Kumar and kabaddi player Kavitha Selvaraj.
"The various schemes for sports awards have been rationalised wherein Arjuna Award (Lifetime) has been introduced in place of Dhyan Chand Award. To recognise the efforts of coaches at grassroots/development level, they are now eligible for the Dronacharya Award," said a ministry statement.
"The Arjuna Award (Lifetime) has been introduced and will be given for life time contribution to sports development.
"Further, to recognize the Khelo India scheme, the Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad (MAKA) Trophy will be given to the University for Overall Top Performance in Khelo India University Games," it added.
The last date for applying for the national sports awards for 2024 is November 14.
