Mangalore, June 26: Chikmagalur MLA?C?T?Ravi said that the greatest fear of Mahatma Gandhi that Congress will ruin the country has come true because it is Congress, which sow the seed of corruption in Indian soil, nurtured it and is reaping personal gains from it.

Addressing the gathering during BJP's Jana Sangharsh Abhiyan at Sanghaniketan on Saturday, Ravi said that after Independence, Mahatma Gandhiji had openly told that National Congress must be dissolved after Independence because the purpose for which Congress was formed was over once the country attained independence. He feared that if the National Congress existed further, it would lose its identity as a platform for freedom struggle and get transformed into a political party. He thought people would soon misuse it.

“Time to time Congress leaders misused the name of Congress claiming themselves to be the inherited custodians of our Independence,”?said Ravi adding that Gandhiji had asked the members to form their own parties if they wished. “While the honest lot broke out of Congress and plunged into social reformation after independence, Nehru who disliked the view of Gandhiji clung on to Congress with his followers and the rest is evident,”?said Ravi.

Listing out scams from Jeep scam (1948) to Nagarwala Finance Scam, Maruti Udyog scam, Bofors to Harshad Mehta scam, Gold Star to JMM?scam, Telgi, Common Weath games to Yes Bank and 2G?scam, Ravi said that all of these scams and people involved in these scams are not the BJP members. They are all either Congress leaders or those linked with Congress.

“Moghuls and British looted us in the past. Now Congress is continuing what they did,” said Ravi adding that amidst all the hue and cry over Jan Lokpal Bill, Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul have not uttered a word so far.

“If the Lokpal bill is introduced, Congress leaders will be behind bars and Congress will lose its face,”?said Ravi adding that Congress knows it very well that if the entire list of people having Swiss accounts is exposed, Congress will be doomed and people will reject the umpteen number of parks, roads, circles and centres named after Nehru, Indira and Rajiv. Ravi further said that if the alleged Rs 16 trillion dollar stocked in Swiss Bank comes to India, the country can be run without taxes for 30 years, poor can be given free ration for 37 years, Rs four crore can be distributed to every village in the country and four-lanes can be laid from every taluk head quarters to national capital.

He called upon the people to start another freedom struggle to wipe out corruption that has been nurtured by Congress over decades.

MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has opined that barring Lal Bahadur Shastry, all other Prime Minister of the country during Congress rule were corrupt.

Kateel said that Congress is continuing the British Raj in India, post independence through its anti-people policies and Sonia Gandhi is continuing dictatorial rule of Indira Gandhi. Assembly Deputy Speaker N?Yogish Bhat and others were present.

Udupi: The Tourism Department is planning a major eco-friendly development initiative for Kamini Island, located near the Blue Flag-certified Padubidri End Point beach, aiming to attract more visitors while maintaining environmental sustainability.

Assistant Director Kumar CU emphasized that, given the island’s proximity to the Blue Flag beach, all development efforts will center around eco-friendly practices. “We are looking to enhance the Kamini River and the island’s surroundings by adding a hanging bridge, nature trails, and eco-friendly food courts offering traditional cuisine. Visitors will also be able to reach the island by pedal boats or kayaking,” he said.

The development project is estimated to cost between Rs 3 crore and Rs 4 crore. Meanwhile, the Blue Flag beach, Padubidri, continues to see a steady flow of visitors. Vijay Shetty, manager of the beach, shared that tenders for food courts and water sports have been awarded to private parties. Recently, three new coracles have been introduced, which are proving to be a hit with visitors. Additionally, three more shelters are expected to be ready by November 20.

Shetty mentioned that the beach can now accommodate between 2,500 and 3,000 visitors daily, although footfall remains lower than other district beaches due to user fees and activity restrictions. “Initially, most visitors were from Mangaluru, but now nearly 40% come from other districts, showing a shift in the visitor demographics,” Shetty noted.

To further boost tourism and promote a healthy lifestyle, a Beach Carnival is set to take place on November 23-24, featuring the National Sea Swimming Championship and a sea marathon in collaboration with the Padubidri JCI, which is celebrating its golden jubilee. Cultural events will be held at the main beach, with some sports events taking place at the Blue Flag beach. Emphasis will be placed on making all activities environmentally friendly.

Mangaluru: In a deeply tragic turn of events, a 28-year-old woman named Ranjitha, who had recently given birth but tragically lost her newborn, ended her life by suicide on Monday. She reportedly leapt from the fourth-floor window of Lady Goschen Hospital’s luggage room.

Ranjitha, whose strength and resilience had carried her through a difficult pregnancy, was scheduled for discharge on Monday. Her journey to Lady Goschen Hospital began on October 24, when she was transferred from Karkala. She was a high-risk patient, battling both hypertension and diabetes. At the time of her admission, she was just 27 weeks pregnant.

Due to the complexities of her health, doctors made the difficult decision to perform an emergency C-section on October 30. She delivered a baby girl, premature and weighing only 960 grams. The newborn was immediately moved to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where doctors did all they could. Despite these efforts, the baby passed away on November 3.

Ranjitha’s sorrow was profound. She stayed under hospital care even after her initial recovery and was preparing to go home on November 9. She had even requested a couple more days at the hospital, seeking time perhaps to cope with her unimaginable grief.

On the day of her discharge, a discharge card ready and her family eagerly waiting to take her home, Ranjitha reportedly made her way to the luggage room in the early hours. There, standing on a cot placed for patients' family members, she climbed to a window and fell from the fourth floor. Despite the attempts of another visitor to intervene, tragedy was inevitable. She was rushed to Government Wenlock Hospital, where doctors confirmed the worst—she was no more.

Dr. Durgaparasad M R, the Medical Superintendent at Lady Goschen Hospital, shared his grief and spoke of the ongoing investigation. A post-mortem is to be conducted, and the local Tahsildar will complete the necessary inquest procedures. Ranjitha’s exact reasons for taking this step are yet to be confirmed, though the weight of her recent losses paints a sorrowful picture.
