Modi government halted lateral entry recruitment after INDIA alliance's opposition: Dinesh Gundurao
Bengaluru: The central government's decision to halt the recruitment of 45 senior positions through lateral entry has been termed as a victory for the INDIA alliance's struggle by Karnataka State Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao. The Modi government's move to recruit individuals from the private sector into high-ranking positions in various central government departments was met with strong opposition from the INDIA alliance, which labeled the process as unconstitutional.
Gundurao took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his views, accusing the government of attempting to undermine the reservation rights guaranteed to marginalized communities. He argued that the lateral entry scheme was a part of a broader strategy to bypass the reservation system by appointing private individuals to key posts.
Gundurao further criticised the government's push towards privatization over the past decade, claiming it was a deliberate attempt to erode the reservation system in public institutions. He stated that the recent suspension of the lateral entry process is a significant achievement in the fight against what he termed as the government's "sneaky strategy" to dismantle reservation rights.

ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ವಿವಿಧ ಇಲಾಖೆಗಳ 45 ಉನ್ನತ ಹುದ್ದೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಲ್ಯಾಟರಲ್ ಎಂಟ್ರಿ ಮೂಲಕ ನೇಮಕಾತಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ತನ್ನ ಅಸಂವಿಧಾನಿಕ ನಡೆಯಿಂದ ಮೋದಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಹಿಂದೆ ಸರಿದಿದೆ.
ಇದು ಇಂಡಿಯಾ ಒಕ್ಕೂಟ ನಡೆಸಿದ ಹೋರಾಟದ ಫಲ. ಶೋಷಿತ ಸಮುದಾಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ನೀಡಿರುವ ಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ಹಕ್ಕನ್ನು ಕಸಿಯುವ ಕುಟಿಲ ತಂತ್ರವನ್ನು ಮೋದಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಲೇ…

ಖಾಸಗೀಕರಣದಿಂದ ಮಾತ್ರ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಎಂಬ ಭ್ರಮೆ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳನ್ನು ಖಾಸಗೀಕರಣ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವದರ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಹುನ್ನಾರವೇ ಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ಕಸಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು.
ಮೋದಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಕಳೆದ ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷದ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿರುವ ಖಾಸಗಿಕರಣದ ಹಿಂದಿನ ದುಷ್ಟ ಉದ್ದೇಶವೇ ಇದು.

“Bleeding on the road, I begged for help but no one came”: Bengaluru woman recounts husband’s death
Bengaluru: A woman in Bengaluru has shared a painful account of how her husband died after they were repeatedly denied medical help and ignored by passersby during a medical emergency, NDTV reported.
The victim, 34-year-old Venkataramanan, a garage mechanic from Balaji Nagar, developed severe chest pain around 3.30 am. His wife immediately took him on a motorcycle in search of medical help.
"He complained about chest pain, and we went to the first hospital. However, the doctor was not on duty. At the second hospital, we were told he had a stroke and to go to another hospital. When we called for ambulance services, they did not respond properly. Humanity failed, but we did our bit by donating his eye." NDTV quoted his wife as saying.
According to the report, after being turned away twice, the couple met with an accident on the road. CCTV footage later showed the woman, covered in blood, pleading with folded hands as vehicles passed by, but no one stopped to help.

The wait ended after several minutes when a cab driver stopped and rushed Venkataramanan to a nearby hospital. Doctors there declared him dead on arrival.
As per the report, the family decided to donate Venkataramanan’s eyes, giving sight to others even in death.
Venkataraman's mother, who had lost her last surviving child, had no words to express herself: "I have no words. I do not know what to say. My son is gone."
"The government should understand a health emergency. My daughter is left with two children. Who will look after them?" asked his mother-in-law. His wife, mother, and two children, a five-year-old son and an 18-month-old daughter now survive Venkataramanan.
The incident has once again raised serious questions about emergency healthcare access, ambulance response, and public apathy in the city.
