Congress govt in Karnataka has lost popularity in very short period, says Yediyurappa
Bengaluru (PTI): Alleging that the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka has lost its popularity so soon after coming to power, veteran BJP leader B S Yediyurappa on Tuesday announced that his party leaders will travel across the state to protest against the "failures" of this administration.
The former chief minister also alleged that despite pressing issues like drought, the government has adopted an anti-people policy instead of addressing them.
"At the meeting of important leaders today, we discussed various issues. In a very short period this government has lost its popularity and has reached a situation where they are facing a rap from the people," Yediyurappa said.
Speaking to reporters after inaugurating the party office-bearers meeting here, he said, "The state is affected by drought. Despite several burning issues, this government without addressing them, is continuing by adopting anti-people policy."
It has been decided that after the Ganapati festival (on September 18), BJP leaders will travel across the state, Yediyurappa, who is also the member of the party's parliamentary board, said. "We will gather thousands of party workers in every district and will work according to our plan of action."
"Discussions are still on, all our party leaders and office-bearers have given their suggestions, we will decide on our plan of action in the days to come," he added.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
