Bengaluru, Apr 28: JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda, who is leading the party’s campaign from the front, has claimed that his party would win more than the 123 seats it has targeted in the May 10 assembly elections.

In an interview, the 89-year-old former Prime Minister said that the history will repeat in Karnataka. “Don’t forget that we formed the government in the past (in 1994) that was stable for a full term. We will repeat history by exceeding our target of winning 123 seats,” he said.

“Our trump card is the Pancharatna Yatre and Janata Jaladhare Yatre led by former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy. Through the Pancharatna Yatre, we are promising welfare schemes in five significant sectors — health, education and jobs, women’s empowerment, agriculture, and irrigation.”

“People remember Kumaraswamy’s performance in office for his ability to implement big schemes such as the farm loan waiver and building houses for flood victims within a record time and regardless of coalition constraints. We are promising five free LPG gas cylinders considering the exorbitant hike in gas price, Rs 2,000 cash assistance toauto drivers, investment support for farmers and so on. The Pancharatna Yatre will propel us to office,” he said.

Modi-led India abstains from UN resolution to end Israel’s occupation of Palestine

Narendra Modi-led government of India has abstained in the UN General Assembly on a resolution that demanded that Israel bring an end, “without delay”, to its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory within 12 months.

The 193-member General Assembly adopted the resolution, with 124 nations voting in favour, 14 against and 43 abstentions, including that by India.

Those abstaining included Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Nepal, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

Israel and the US were among the nations who voted against the resolution titled ‘Advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legal consequences arising from Israel’s policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and from the illegality of Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory’.

The resolution adopted Wednesday demanded that “Israel brings to an end without delay its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which constitutes a wrongful act of a continuing character entailing its international responsibility, and do so no later than 12 months from the adoption of the present resolution.”

The Palestinian-drafted resolution also strongly deplored the continued and total disregard and breaches by the Government of Israel of its obligations under the Charter of the United Nations, international law and the relevant United Nations resolutions, and stressed that such breaches seriously threaten regional and international peace and security.

It recognised that Israel must be held to account for any violations of international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including any violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and that it “must bear the legal consequences of all its internationally wrongful acts, including by making reparation for the injury, including any damage, caused by such acts.”
