RSS statement ‘No Hindutva without Muslims’ is bogus: PV Mohan
Mangaluru: KPCC general secretary PV Mohan has stated that RSS Chief’s remark that there is no Hindutva without Muslims is just a bogus statement.
Addressing a press meet at D.K district Congress Bhavan on Saturday, he said, "RSS was eyeing on Muslim votes and has issued such a statement to garner more votes for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. There can be peace and harmony in the nation only if the RSS is banned.
"The BJP is a sinking ship. Anyhow this has to be brought ashore. Therefore the RSS is struggling. The RSS, which does not talk about issues like Cauvery and Mahadayi, is helping BJP through raking up communal sentiments," Mohan alleged.
“The Narendra Modi-led central government is more dangerous than the erstwhile British rule. It has implemented GST, note ban which were not discussed before polls. At the same time, it has failed to fulfill its poll promises on black money and to create employment,” he alleged.
“The Congress will be holding a Lok Sampark Abhiyan across the nation from October 2 to November 19. A 10-member team will be formed in 56 booths in the district. This team would serve as a service center,” he added.
The party's leaders Abdul Saleem, Neeraj Paul, Honnaya, Sumit, Nazir Bajal and others were present.

Power tariffs under BESCOM to rise from May 1
Bengaluru (PTI): Power bills for consumers under the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) will go up from May 1, following an order issued by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) on Friday.
The hike comes after KERC allowed the BESCOM to recover a revenue deficit of Rs 2,068 crore incurred in 2024-25, from the consumers.
As a result, for every unit of electricity consumed in 2024-25, the customers will be charged an additional 56 paise, it said.
"BESCOM shall calculate, for each of the active consumers of FY2024-25 the amount to be recovered based on their actual energy consumption during FY2024-25. Such amount shall be recovered during FY 2026-27 in equal monthly instalments, to be called as 'FY25 True up Charges', commencing from the first meter reading date falling on or after 1 May 2026 and concluding with the reading date ending on 30 April 2027," the order said.
"It is further ordered that BESCOM shall maintain a separate head of account, allocated for the purpose, to record the adjustment of the said amount to ensure full recovery of the deficit," it added.
Similarly Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (CESC) has also recorded a revenue deficit of Rs 121.71 crore and can collect an additional 15 paisa per unit for consumption in 2024-25, official sources said.
