Understand concerns behind parents' advise: CM tells youth
Bengaluru, Jan 11: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday visited the NIMHANS where a youth Venugopal who tried to commit suicide at Metro Station, was admitted and enquired his health condition and advised him to understand the concerns of the parents.
A mother who has been leading life with tailoring work advised her son Venugopal who has failed in one subject in SSLC examination, to pass the subject. Depressed over his mother’s advice, the youth tried to commit suicide.
In view of this, the CM visited the hospital and advised him not to take extreme steps in life for the small things. They should understand the concerns behind the advise of the parents, he said. But Venugopal said he did not try to commit suicide, but he did not know what happened at that moment.
As the examination time is approaching, it is common that both the parents and the students get panic. The schools and colleges should create pressure-free environment for the students to prepare for the examinations. Students should also receive the advises of their parents and teachers in positive way and concentrate on studies, the CM said.

BJP does not follow democratic norms: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi
Kozhikode(Kerala) (PTI): Congress MP from Wayanad Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who arrived on a two day visit to Kerala after her maiden electoral win, on Saturday attacked the BJP by accusing it of not following usual democratic norms even in political fights.
Priyanka compared the BJP's behaviour with the landslides that hit Wayanad in July, saying just like the natural disaster the saffron party's conduct knows no rules, offers no explanations and follows no democratic norms that are normally adhered to in political fights.
"The political challenges we face (from the BJP) today are like the landslides. There are no rules. There are no explanations."
"The behaviour of the ruling party (at the Centre), the BJP, knows no democratic norms, not even those we normally adhere to in a political fight," she said while speaking at a joint public meeting, with her brother and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, at Mukkam here.
She further contended that institutions were being destroyed leading to the wavering of the people's basic faith in the electoral process and "the institutions that held our country together".
Priyanka assured the people of Wayanad LS constituency that she was in the Parliament for them and it is their voice that she will raise there.
"It is your voice that I will raise, it is your problems that I will try to resolve and it is your beliefs, values and aspirations that I will stand for each and every day from now till the end," she said.
After the joint public meeting at Mukkam in Thiruvambadi assembly constituency here, receptions will be held for her at Karulai in Nilambur, Wandoor, and Edavanna in Eranad during the day, the party said.
The Wayanad constituency comprises seven assembly segments of Mananthavady (ST), Sulthan Bathery (ST), and Kalpetta in Wayanad district; Thiruvambady in Kozhikode district; and Eranad, Nilambur, and Wandoor in Malappuram district.
Priyanka had scored her maiden electoral victory by winning the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll with a huge margin of 4,10,931 votes, which is bigger than the lead her brother Rahul secured when he won from the constituency during the Lok Sabha general elections held early this year.
