Cong declares 'Dharm Yuddh' against corrupt, communal forces

February 27, 2012
Udupi, February 27: Union minister for corporate affairs M Veerappa Moily has termed the impending by-election for Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha constituency as a 'Dharm Yuddh' between good and evil forces.

Addressing the Congress Workers Convention held at Kalsanka, here on Monday the litterateur-cum-politician said, both Congress party and voters should take it as a challenge to defeat the corrupt, communal and anti-democratic forces.

He said that the by-election to the prestigious constituency vacated by CM DV Sadanada Gowda was a wonderful opportunity for voters to express their anguish against the miss deeds and shameless acts of the rulers of the State.

Mr Moily, who apparently avoided BJP candidate V Sunil Kumar's name, exhorted the Congress workers to about the 'Bajarang Dal activist, who despite being ousted by the voters of Karkala (defeated in the last MLA election), has been making a futile attempt to make a reentry through this election.

Union Minister KH Muniyappa, AICC General secretary Madhusudan Mistry, former union minister B Janardhan Poojary, KPCC President G Parameshwar, AICC General Secretary Oscar Fernandes, Congress candidate Jayaprakash Hegde, opposition leader in the legislative council Motamma also addressed the party workers at the convention.

The Karnataka government has announced that Nandini milk will become ₹4 costlier per litre starting April 1, 2025. This is the second price hike this year.

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Karnataka Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna and Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh said the increase is meant to support dairy farmers by covering the rising costs of producing and processing milk.

Officials also said that:

>> The extra money from the price hike will go directly to the milk producers.

>> The earlier ₹2 price hike (announced on June 26, 2024) will be withdrawn.

>> The new price hike of ₹4 will apply to both 500 ml and 1-litre packets.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka Assembly on Friday passed Bills doubling the salaries of the chief minister, ministers, and legislators, adding an annual burden of ₹62 crore on the exchequer.

The CM's monthly salary will increase from ₹75,000 to ₹1.5 lakh, while ministers will see a 108% hike, from ₹60,000 to ₹1.25 lakh. MLAs and MLCs will get ₹80,000 per month, up from ₹40,000, and their pension will rise from ₹50,000 to ₹75,000.

The Karnataka Ministers Salaries and Allowances (Amendment) Bill and the Karnataka Legislature Salaries, Pensions and Allowances (Amendment) Bill were passed without debate, as the Opposition BJP protested in the well of the House.

The Bills cited the rising cost of living as justification for the hike. The Assembly Speaker and Legislative Council chairperson will now receive ₹1.25 lakh per month, up from ₹75,000.
