Lingayat vote bank appears shaky for ruling BJP in north Karnataka

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: The north Karnataka region known for harmony and peaceful co-existence plays an important role in shaping the political scenario of the state.
Consisting of 13 districts, the voting pattern has seen a paradigm shift. The region, which was a Congress bastion, is now rallying behind the state’s ruling BJP.
The BJP wins a major chunk of seats from north Karnataka and Congress is struggling to return to its days of glory. The JD (S) has managed to show its existence. It appears, though, that cracks have developed in the Lingayat vote bank this time, giving an opportunity to the Congress.
Among the 224 Assembly seats, the region has more than 100. A major chunk of seats are won by the BJP.
After the elevation of Mallikarjun Kharge as the Congress President, the party is hoping to make a comeback.
Political analysts explain that Opposition leader Siddaramaiah and Kharge’s combination will make magic for the party in north Karnataka region.
The ruling BJP in the state draws its core strength from north Karnataka and garners a major chunk of seats from the region.
Lingayat votes, which play an important role in elections in the region, were garnered by the BJP under the leadership of former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, a Lingayat strongman.

However, the ensured vote bank appears to be shaky this time.
A change of guard in the leadership, hostile posture of Lingayat seer Basava Jaya Mrutyunjaya Swamiji of Panchamasali sub sect, a war of words between senior BJP leaders of the region seems to affect the ruling BJP.
Gali Janardhana Reddy’s new party Kalyana Rajya Pragathi Paksha is also likely to pose a challenge to both Congress and BJP.
Janardhana Reddy has stated that in spite of national parties not attaching any importance, his party would make an impact in the upcoming Assembly elections.
The Kalyana Rajya Pragathi Paksha is likely to disturb national parties in Kalyan Karnataka region comprising districts of Raichur, Koppal, Kalaburagi, Bidar, Yadgir, Ballary and Vijanaynagara.
Basava Jaya Mrutyunjaya Swamiji has attacked Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai for failing to give reservation for Panchamasali sub sect under OBC quota. Vijayapura BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal stated that it is a failure on part of Bommai and he has disappointed the community.
Minister for Large and Medium Industries Murugesh Nirani had charged that the Lingayat seer is acting on the behalf of the Congress.
However, the agitation for reservation is being taken up for years and the issue is likely to hit the prospectus of BJP in the upcoming elections, say analysts.
The BJP has got a shot in the arm by approving DPR for Kalasa-Banduri project which will mitigate the drinking water problem in major districts of north Karnataka.
The Congress has also organised a massive rally for speedy implementation of the project.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Kalaburagi and Yadgir districts this month and laying the foundation stone and inauguration of more than Rs 10,000 crore for development works in the region is seen as an attempt to outreach to the people of North Karnataka.
The BJP is expecting a boost in 41 constituencies of the region.
Experts say that this time, it won’t be a cake walk for the saffron part in north Karnataka. However, the BJP camp is upbeat and confident that the Hindutva agenda will work for them.

He asked the probationers to remember the significance of the time they are entering their career when policing is undergoing transformation at all levels. He asked them to keep pace with the developments in the world of cyber crime and the threat of narcotics to our future generation.
The teams of HCP also explained the concept of war room, integration of IT applications and how all government agencies work in tandem to deliver public service and offer swift response during calamities.

Hyderabad: Every Hyderabadi becomes gluttonous when we talk of Biryani. The city residents love to explore new food varieties. Alongside Biryani, which is a beloved staple food in the menus of Hyderabadi restaurants, the people have also adopted Arabic and Middle East dishes like Mandi, Kunafa etc. After having meals which are usually special, most of the Hyderabadis love to have Irani Chai (tea). But today in this write-up we will share with you the special and classic drink which you should not miss this winter.
Hyderabadis have developed a fad for ‘Numaish’ which takes place only once a year. The city residents come out in large numbers to enjoy the shopping, food and the festive atmosphere. The fair offers a wide variety of products from clothes, jewellery, handicrafts from different states, to food and much more. Numaish is not just a fair, it’s an experience that Hyderabadis look forward to every year.
But what makes ‘Numaish’ more special for guzzlers of the city this year is ‘Kashmiri Khawa’.
The luscious Kashmiri Khawa is not only soul-warming drink but it is an emotion to Kashmiris. It is a kind of green tea and has significant nutritional values. So, if you feel exhausted after haggling over buying some beautiful things in the Numaish, just have a sip of Khawa to recharge yourself!
What is Khawa?
It is believed that ‘Khawa’ is derived from the Kashmir word ‘Kha’ which means eleven(11). Khawa is actually a green tea infused with 11 different spices best grown in the valley of Kashmir. The spices used are cinnamon (dalchini), saffron(kesar), cardamom(elaichi), dried rose petals, cloves (laung) etc. The colour of this special tea becomes golden-yellow once it is ready to serve. So, enjoy this cuppa that has chopped almonds floating.

Kashmiri Khawa which is full of rich ingredients builds the immune system, helps to burn fat and relieve stress. It is also used to improve the digestive system and acts as an energy booster. There is also an old belief in Kashmir that Khawa gives glow to your skin as it helps in curing acne, dryness and dark circles.
Where to get best Khawa sip in Numaish?
A Kashmiri man with over eight years of experience is serving up delicious cups of Khawa to Hyderabadis at Numaish.
According to Mohammad Akram Dar, who hails from the Baramulla district of Kashmir, the Khawa is not only a tea but a medicine used to treat cough, cold, fever and other ailments. Speaking to Siasat.com, Akram said that he wants to stimulate and encourage people to have a sip of healthy drink instead of wine or any other toxic drug. He has set his heart on promoting Kashmiri traditions and culture.

”I have been serving Khawa outside Kashmir since 2012. I used to serve it at birthdays and other parties. Right now, I am serving this special Kashmiri beverage for the first time in Numaish at Hyderabad. My aim is to carry forward what our ancestors used to eat, drink and wear,” said Akram Dar.
He further added, “I want Hyderabadis to come and enjoy Khawa as it has abundant health benefits. I am making this succulent and luscious Khawa just to tell people that healthy beverages/ drinks can also be so scrumptious that after having a sip you can feel like you are in heaven.”
Akram Dar is also actively participating in drug deduction programmes across Kashmir and is seen urging people to keep away from drugs while serving Khawa to them here in Hyderabad.

Skeleton found from Secunderabad building gutted in fire

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Making a breakthrough, rescue workers on Saturday found a human skeleton in a six-storeyed commercial building which was gutted in a massive fire on Thursday.
The rescue teams, which continued their efforts to collect clues of three missing persons, found the skeleton on the first floor of the building at Nallagutta on Ministers Road in Secunderabad.
The skeleton was removed from the debris and shifted to Gandhi Hospital for identification. Officials said a DNA test will be conducted to identify the body.
A search was on for two other missing persons. Two days after the fire destroyed the building in the busy Secunderabad area, the teams were unable to enter the premises due to the heat and smoke from smouldering rubble. However, the efforts by the firefighting personnel for cooling yielded some results on Saturday and some rescue workers managed to go in.
Waseem, Zaheer and Junaid were reported missing after the huge fire broke out in the building on Thursday. Some survivors said the three persons had gone to collect their belongings but were trapped.
Two fire service officers were injured while trying to douse the fire on Thursday. It took eight hours for the fire to be brought under control. As many as 23 fire tenders from various fire stations in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad were pressed into service.
The building is owned by Deccan Corporate, a manufacturer of T-shirts, uniforms, bags, gift articles and sports accessories. According to fire services officials, tons of cloth, flex rolls and chemicals were stored in the buildings. About 1,000 tons of inflammable material in the first-level cellar caused the rapid spread of fire.
Meanwhile, authorities were making arrangements for demolishing the building due to apprehension that it may collapse. The fire has weakened the structure.

However, the demolition is likely to begin in a couple of days as authorities are drawing plans to minimize the collateral damage to surrounding buildings, including houses.
Ramana Rao, Director NIIT, Warangal, officials of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), the Clues team, the electricity department, and fire and police officials inspected the building on Friday.
Ramana Ro opined that the building is in dilapidated condition due to fire accident with slabs at some places falling down or developing cracks. He suggested that the building should not be used.
Following this, the police deployed force to prevent people from getting closer to the building.
Police said that based on the expert opinion, owners, and tenants of surrounding buildings have been asked to vacate their houses till further information. Police have also diverted the commuters from both access points of the fire accident place to avoid untoward incidents.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police said the footage collected from drone cameras shows that most of the ceiling is broken and has fallen down.
Meanwhile, state minister T. Srinivas Yadav on Saturday visited the spot and reviewed the rescue operation. He promised that the government will extend help to the families of the victims.
He also visited the adjacent residential area and interacted with the residents.
