People of DK will not keep quite: Poojary warns CM on Yettinahole project

September 3, 2016

Mangaluru, Sep 3: Reiterating his demand that the CM Siddaramaiah should drop the Yettinahole project Congress veteran B Janardhan Poojary on Saturday said that two former CMs and current MPs - M Veerappa Moily and D V Sadananda Gowda- are hell bent on implementing the controversial project.

He was speaking to media persons in Mangaluru a after the CM directed the officials concerned to expedite the execution of the project and bring any sort of impediment in doing so, directly to his notice.

"People of Dakshina Kannada will certainly not keep quiet if the government continues to do so and revolt," Mr Poojary said, wondering if CM Siddaramaiah is knowingly becoming a partner to conspiracy of Veerappa Moily and Sadananda Gowda who are keen to see the project through.

Asserting that he has already brought apprehensions expressed by various stakeholders about the project in the media reports to notice of Sonia Gandhi, he said the party high command is watching the developments as they unfold.

Asked if Siddaramaiah had spoken to him about Yettinahole project as directed by Ahmed Patel, political secretary to Sonia Gandhi, Poojary replied in the negative and said this was a sign of haughtiness on part of the CM.

When queried that despite this "act of haughtiness" of Siddaramaiah as described by him, the CM was still going ahead with implementation of the project, Poojary said, "Wait and Watch. I know what the Nehru family can do. Siddaramaiah does not. I have been in New Delhi (and know all this too well)," he said, adding people in Congress who do not tow to the party high command line will face the consequences. "It is better that Siddaramaiah drops the project," he added.

Mr. Poojari, people of DK will always keep quiet, you don't have to worry. first of all, we request you to keep quiet. please get retirement from the Politics immediately that you may have prosper. Neither DK people want you nor congress party need you any more.

Very strange politics, Poojary sab is a honest man but like Pathan Dhimak.

A wise politician does not do such public attack against own party leaders. His policy does not work in Indian politics.
He should discuss with party high command.

Here i support poojary. YETTINAHOLE project is going against the nature. Earthquake or tsunami might happen. Because of this project.

They putting people in trouble.

Who is this old Man.Often i see him with some or the other poking Comments against our honorable C.M.What is his identity.But never i saw Our C.M responding to his Comments.That is what our C.M is.

If you haven`t stop this \Press Conference Politics\" sure people of DK wont keep quite. people have come to know about your Drama. All this drama is for publicity not for public interest."

Mangaluru: MLA Kamath, other BJP leaders arrested during protest against Cong govt

News Network

January 3,2025

BJP MLA Vedavyas Kamath and several BJP leaders were arrested in Mangaluru during a protest organized by the Dakshina Kannada BJP Yuva Morcha near Mini Vidhana Soudha.

The protest targeted the Congress-led Siddaramaiah government, accusing it of fostering an environment of harassment and distress, which the BJP claims has led to multiple suicides among contractors and government officials.

Key Points:

Addressing the gathering before his arrest, Kamath criticized the Congress government, alleging that neither contractors nor honest officials have found peace since it assumed power. He remarked, "Suicide seems to be the only 'guarantee' under this administration."

Kamath cited the suicide of contractor Sachin, allegedly driven to death by harassment from individuals linked to Minister Priyank Kharge.

Other cases highlighted included the suicides of Chandrashekar, superintendent of the Maharshi Valmiki Development Corporation, and Rudresh, who was allegedly harassed by an aide of Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar.

Kamath also referred to a Dalit inspector, Parashuram, who reportedly succumbed to alleged torture connected to Congress MLA Channareddy Patil’s son.

He accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar of remaining silent due to political fears over their positions.

Prominent BJP leaders such as Ramesh Kandetthu, Premananda Shetty, Vikas Puttur, Nandan Mallya, Monappa Bhandary, Pooja Pai, Deputy Mayor Bhanumathi, and Sanjay Prabhu participated in the protest alongside party workers and municipal council members.

The protest escalated, resulting in the arrest of Kamath and other BJP leaders by the police, marking a dramatic standoff between BJP and Congress.

Maoists in Karnataka including coastal region ready to lay down arms, join mainstream: Sources

News Network

January 6,2025

Bengaluru, Jan 6: Most wanted Maoists operating in deep jungles of Western Ghats, hilly and coastal region of Karnataka have decided to lay down their arms and join the mainstream following the appeal by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka Congress government.

According to sources, the Maoists have taken the decision following the encounter of Vikram Gowda and the continuous combing operations in the Western Ghat region by the Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) and the Karnataka Police.

Sources said that top leaders Mundagaru Latha who leads the Tunga Naxal Wing in the state; Sundari, Vanajakshi, Jeesha, the most wanted Maoists of south India; K. Vasantha from Andhra Pradesh and Mareppa Aroli have decided to surrender and lay down their arms.

Maoist leader Sundari’s brother Anand, who was also a Naxal and returned to the mainstream, stated, “They will welcome her home if she decides to lay down arms. Let her and associates stop the struggle and live like common people. It’s 17 years since she had gone away from home. We will be happy if she comes back to us.”

“Sundari, surrender before the government and come back home,” he appealed in Kutlur of Mangaluru district.

The surrender procedure will happen in two to three days, sources confirmed.

The sources also revealed that the Maoists had written a letter in this regard to the Citizen’s Forum, a progressive organisation and the members of the forum have discussed the matter already with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

CM Siddaramaiah welcomed the proposal and gave the green signal for authorities to start the surrender procedures.

The Maoists have demanded that the surrender process should take place in a dignified manner and that their self-respect should not be harmed. They have also demanded that they should not be prevented from exercising their rights under a democratic system.

The Maoists have also demanded that they should not be made to languish in prisons. The 'false' cases against them should be closed and cooperation has to be extended for them after surrender to obtain bail. It has also been demanded that all cases must be brought under one court and trial has to be expedited.

They have also demanded financial support from the government to shape their lives. The package has to be applied to other surrendered Maoists who are presently in prison. They have also sought clarification on whether Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala states will take one stand on the matter.

The Maoists have also demanded a judicial investigation of the Vikram Gowda encounter.
