Let UT Khader get important portfolio
Mangaluru, May 21: The demand for deputy chief minister’s position to North Karnataka in the JDS-Congress combine is becoming stronger. This demand is justifiable. If the North Karnataka needs equal share in the development, it should get the post of deputy chief minister.
In the same way, Coastal Karnataka is also important place for the Congress. Interestingly, the Congress has only three MLAs from the entire Coastal Karnataka and out of 13 constituencies in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, the Congress has got only one seat. In the last Assembly election, the Congress had 10 MLAs, but this time it has reduced to one.
It is said that Hindutva and Modi wave has worked behind this result. If it is true, UT Khader is the only person who swam against these two waves to become MLA. With this, Khader has saved the face of the Congress in the Coastal area.
Facing all challenges, Khader has won for the fourth time in a row. For this, the Congress has to encourage him. In order to induce confidence among party workers, Khader should be given an important portfolio. In the last government, Khader has drawn the attention of the entire state through his work and efficiency as the Minister of Food and Civil Supplies department. He is able to handle any portfolio if given.
His plus point is that he takes people of all religions together. Even in the election, he has taken people from all communities into confidence due to which, he was supported by all sections of people. For this reason, he should be given an important portfolio as the party would require him more.

Cong govt ordering probe into Covid-19 handling during BJP regime has malafide intent: Yediyurappa
Shivamogga (Karnataka), Nov 16: Former Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Saturday alleged that the Congress government in Karnataka has ordered a probe into the Covid-19 management with malafide intention since the BJP was in power at that time.
The Karnataka government has decided to set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate alleged irregularities in Covid-19 management based on the recommendation of Justice John Michael D’Cunha Commission report, which favoured the prosecution of Yediyurappa and the then Health Minister B Sriramulu.
“There is no need for us to worry. They (Congress government) are doing it with malafide intention. We will face it legally,” the BJP strongman said.
When medicines were not available and survival was a question before people during the pandemic, the BJP government made a sincere effort to save lives, he said.
“Now Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is repeatedly trying to project it as a scam but we need not have to worry about it. We did our job sincerely and people have appreciated it,” the 81-year-old BJP stalwart said. He dubbed the probe an attempt to divert public attention from MUDA case.
In the Mysuru Urban Development Authority site allotment case, the Lokayukta police has registered a case against Siddaramaiah, his wife Parvathi B M and his brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy in connection with the allotment of 14 sites in Parvathi’s name in Mysuru city. Besides Lokayukta police, the Enforcement Directorate is also investigating the case.
Yediyurappa said "Siddaramaiah cannot escape from MUDA case" as there were many complaints against him and people would get to know the reality about Siddaramaiah’s involvement once he is summoned for questioning by the investigating agency.
