BJP has converted coastal region into laboratory for Hindutva politics: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru, November 16: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah tweeted that the BJP has converted the Karnataka coastal region into a laboratory for Hindutva politics due to which its national leaders visit the place very often.
Retaliating the BJP in a series of tweets,
Tweet 1: Siddaramaiah said that though Amit Shah and Narendra Modi settled in Karnataka, the people would not support BJP in the Lok Sabha election.
Tweet 2: BJP wanted to keep the Ayodhya issue alive instead of constructing the Ram Mandir. At a time when the election is fast approaching, the BJP has stirred up Ram Mandir issue provoking the emotional feelings of people. It was just an effort to attract people towards it and people also aware about it, he tweeted.
Tweet 3: GT Deve Gowda was the district minister in Mysuru and SR Mahesh was the Cabinet minister. The Congress party required a voice in the district for which, they have asked the JDS to give the Mayor post to the Congress and it was justifiable demand.
Tweet 4: Till I am in politics, I would protect the interests of the Ahinda community. Ahinda is not just an organization. It is a movement. The movement will be alive till their demands are fulfilled and I will support it. Even now, I have been working as their voice.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಕರಾವಳಿಯನ್ನು ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಕೋಮುವಾದದ ಪ್ರಯೋಗ ಶಾಲೆಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಿದೆ, ಹಾಗಾಗಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ನಾಯಕರು ಆಗಾಗ ಕರಾವಳಿಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅಮಿತ್ ಶಾ ಮತ್ತು ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಬಂದು ಮನೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ರೂ ಈ ಬಾರಿಯ ಲೋಕಸಭೆ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗೆ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಜನ ಬೆಂಬಲ ನೀಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.@INCKarnataka pic.twitter.com/SJScW6kVRD

Maharashtra sets up state vaccination task force to strengthen immunisation programme
Mumbai (PTI): The Maharashtra government has set up a State Vaccination Task Force to strengthen the regular immunisation programme and review the progress of related campaigns, a health department official said on Monday.
The State Vaccination Task Force will comprise at least 29 members and will be headed by the administrative head of the health department, he informed.
The government has also constituted separate district-level and municipal vaccination task forces to improve implementation and address challenges at the grassroots level, he said.
Municipal task forces, chaired by respective civic commissioners, have been constituted in view of the vast urban population in Maharashtra and the role of civic bodies in implementing different health programmes.
The district-level task forces will function under the chairmanship of collectors.
"Complete immunisation of children at the appropriate age is an extremely simple, cost-effective and highly effective measure to reduce child mortality and the prevalence of diseases among kids. Immunisation is a powerful tool for reducing illness in children," maintained the official.
To ensure full vaccination of all children, the state government implements various campaigns from time to time as per the central government guidelines, he pointed out.
"Active participation and cooperation of other relevant government departments are essential (in making these campaigns successful)," according to the official.
The state-level body will review the regular immunisation programme, associated campaigns and vaccine-preventable diseases in detail. It will also conduct focused assessments of high-risk districts and municipal corporations, including vacancies at district, municipal and sub-district levels, availability of cold chain equipment, resource gaps and training requirements, he noted.
The state task force will review allocation and utilisation of funds for immunisation and ensure timely action by officers concerned based on reports from district and municipal task forces and state-level monitoring mechanisms, the official said.
It will also ensure active coordination and participation of other government departments in immunisation drives, while district and municipal task forces will carry out similar functions at their respective levels, the official added.
