Shobha Karandlaje claims over 2 lakh toilets built in Udupi-Chikmagalur under Swacch Bharat
Udupi: Udupi-Chikmagalur MP and BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje on Wednesday claimed that about 2 lakh toilets have been built in the constituency under Swacch Bharat programme.
Shobha, on Wednesday tweeted the claim and added that Swacch Bharat is not just about cleanliness but also a matter of pride of the women of the country.
In her tweet, which also had a promotional video attached, Shobha thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the initiative.
She added, “70 years of Independence, it took this one man to respond! In Udupi-Chikmagalur only more than 2L toilets have been built”. (Sic)
The video attached with the tweet emphasizes the difficulties women in more than two lac homes were facing for not having toilets and had to wait for ‘Sun to set’ for attending the nature’s call in open space.
The video comes days after her own party workers in the constituency started #ShobhaGoBack movement on twitter, asking the party to replace her with other leader in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. It can be her reply to the party workers to stake claim on the party’s ticket from the constituency.
#SwacchBharat is not just about cleanliness, but it's also a matter of pride for our women.

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.
