Don’t speak lightly about Shobha Karandlaje, BSY tells Gundu Rao
Bengaluru, August 26: BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa asked KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao not to speak lightly against BJP Lok Sabha Member Shobha Karandlaje.
In a press release issued on Sunday, Yeddyurappa said that instead of insulting Shobha Karandlaje, Dinesh Gundu Rao should understand the concerns of Shobha towards Kodagu people. Before any Congress leaders going to Kodagu district, Shobha has been to the ravaged areas and stayed there for three days and reviewed the relief works. Before speaking against her, Dinesh should understand this and speak, he said.
Giving statements against Prime Minister Narendra Modi without analysing the facts would reveal the rational degradation of Congress leaders. When AICC president Rahul Gandhi has been giving statement that Modi has relationship with ISIS terrorists, Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and others at abroad, KPCC president has been insulting Modi which is not fair, he said.
Shobha hasn’t done show
As Dinesh Gundu Rao said, Shobha did not serve the food to the victims as a show. Instead, she has taken a load relief materials and distributed them at the relief camps.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
