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…

ಮೋದಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಕಳೆದ ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷದ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿರುವ ಖಾಸಗಿಕರಣದ ಹಿಂದಿನ ದುಷ್ಟ ಉದ್ದೇಶವೇ ಇದು.

Congress’ downfall will start from Baramati if it doesn’t let Sunetra Pawar win unopposed: Bawankule
Nagpur (PTI): The Congress will have to face consequences if it doesn't allow NCP president and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar to win the Baramati assembly bypoll unopposed, said minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Thursday.
The party’s “downfall” will start from Baramati, he said, stressing that the people of Baramati and Maharashtra wish that she is elected unopposed, said the BJP leader.
The April 23 bye election was necessitated after the tragic death of deputy CM Ajit Pawar, who headed the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), in a plane crash in Baramati on January 28. After his death, his wife Sunetra became the party president.
The NCP, BJP and the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena are partners in the ruling Mahayuti alliance in the state.
“The Congress will face consequences if it doesn’t let Sunetra win unopposed from Baramati. Its downfall will start from Baramati if it doesn’t withdraw its candidate,” Bawankule told reporters in Nagpur.
Amid efforts to ensure an unopposed contest, the Congress has fielded advocate Akash More for the bypoll.
The party had said that it would withdraw from the contest only if an FIR were registered in Ajit Pawar’s death in the Baramati plane crash.
Replying to another question, Bawankule said the BJP’s performance will be more robust in Assam and Kerala elections compared to the last assembly polls in these states. Assembly polls are being held in a single phase in Assam, Kerala and Puducherry on Thursday.
“These elections will once again show Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership commanding support among the people,” he said.
