Nadda kickstarts BJP’s ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatre’ in poll-bound Karnataka

[ad_1]
Chamarajanagara: BJP national president J P Nadda on Wednesday kickstarted the first part of ‘Vijay Sankapla Yatre’ here reaching out to tribal communities, as he expressed confidence about the party coming back to power in Karnataka.
The yatre from four different directions across the poll-bound State, in specially designed vehicles or “Rathas”, will be launched by the party’s Central leaders in the next couple of days.
Nadda, who visited the Male Mahadeshwara Hills, kick-started the yatre, after offering prayers at the Male Mahadeshwara temple here.
He was accompanied by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, BJP veteran B S Yediyurappa, and party’s state president Nalin Kumar Kateel among other leaders.
Later addressing people from the Soliga tribal community, Nadda said, “With the Vijaya Sankalpa Yatre beginning from an auspicious place and with the grace of god, I’m confident about BJP getting the blessings of the people in the upcoming Assembly polls.”
He said, the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is marching ahead with strength and he has changed the political dimension of the country from “casteism, vote bank and dynasty politics”, to taking everyone together with a moto ‘sabka-saath-sabka-vikas-sabka-vishwas-sabka-prayas’ (Together, for everyone’s growth, with everyone’s trust).
Highlighting that the country is today the fifth largest economy overtaking the British, Nadda spoke about the nation’s progress in pharma, mobile and automobile, among other sectors.
The BJP government under Modi has worked for the development of all sections of the society especially the poor and downtrodden, he said, adding that today several prominent positions in the country are occupied by personalities from the SC/ST community, and President of India Droupadi Murmu belongs to the tribal community.

There has been a 190 per cent increase in the tribal budget under the BJP government at the Centre, the party president said, as he spoke about setting up Ekalavya Vidyalaya in tribal areas, and other schemes and programmes for the betterment of the tribal community, including opening of the Tribal Research Centres.
“I want to assure that under Modi, with Yediyurappa’s blessings and Bommai’s efforts we will bring changes in the lives and livelihood of the people here,” he said.
While Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is scheduled to flag off second yatre on March 2 from Nandagad in Belagavi district, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is slated to launch the third and fourth yatres that will start from Basavakalyana in Bidar district and Avathy in Devanahalli near Bengaluru, on March 3, in the morning and afternoon, respectively.
According to party leaders, more than 50 state and national leaders will take part in this campaign, which will cover all 31 districts and 224 constituencies of the State, where elections are due by May.
The tours will cover 8,000 km, along which the party has planned over 80 rallies, 74 public meetings and about 150 road shows, they said, adding that it is expected to “touch” about four crore people.
The 20 days yatre will culminate with a mega rally in the district headquarters town of Davangere on March 25 which will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The yatre that will begin from four different places will consist of 10-12 leaders in each of them.

Free bus rides for working women, schoolchildren from April 1 in poll-bound Karnataka

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Working women and schoolchildren will get free rides in public buses from April 1, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said here on Tuesday.
Speaking after dedicating KSRTC’s Volvo Multi Axel BS4-9600 sleeper buses ahead of the polls here, he said the purpose of chalking out this scheme was to enable women become self-reliant.
They need to introduce mini school buses and the existing buses will be utilised to start the operation. At the time of starting schools, a minimum of five buses must be operated in each taluk. More grants will be released, if necessary, he said.
“Transport plays an important role in economic development because of this it has been given priority and announced free pass facility for working women and school children in the state budget FY 2023-24. “Our government is always with the working staff and the management and let us provide a good service to the commuters,” he stated.
A special transport team called ‘Ambari’ was dedicated to the state earlier in the day which has the sleeper facility, the CM said. Several good features are provided in this fleet of buses just like the railway sleeper coaches.
The earlier edition of Volvo buses was not comfortable and understanding this the multi-axel buses have been designed to provide good facilities to the commuters. Henceforth, the night journey on these buses will be comfortable. The state transport corporation should buy some more buses, he said.

PM has become restless over Left-Cong alliance in poll-bound Tripura: Manik Sarkar

[ad_1]
Santirbazar: Former Tripura chief minister and CPI(M) leader Manik Sarkar claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become “restless over the Left-Congress alliance” in the poll-bound state.
Alleging that the BJP-led government is “not following the Constitution” and has “murdered democracy” in Tripura, he said that the two rivals the Left and the Congress- have joined hands to end “fascist” rule in the state.
His comment comes after PM Modi had on February 11 lashed out at the Congress-CPI(M) alliance in Tripura during an election rally and said the two parties have strangely chosen dosti’ (friendship) in the northeastern state as against their normal kushti’ (wrestling) in Kerala.
“You have mentioned that two parties, which are fighting each other in a state (Kerala), have become friends here. It is true that a CPI(M)-led front is running a government in Kerala where the Congress is sitting on the opposition bench. But democracy is vibrant there, which is missing in Tripura. The BJP is not following the Constitution here and a fascist rule is going on,” Sarkar said at an election rally in South Tripura’s Santirbazar on Monday.
The veteran CPI(M) leader also said, “It appears that the PM has become restless over the Left-Congress alliance…Democracy has been murdered in the northeastern state and the BJP is not following the Constitution here during the past five years of its rule. All these are happening at your behest.”
Claiming that the BJP’s tribal and non-tribal vote bank has “gone down drastically in the poll-bound state”, Sarkar said the electoral understanding between the Left and the Congress will avoid division of anti-BJP votes, which has “left the saffron camp worry”.
“The PM has toured the state twice for the ongoing campaign for the elections but he avoided to mention about the implementation of the vision document unveiled before the 2018 assembly elections. Modi remains silent on the promises during his campaign in the poll-bound state,” he said.
Sarkar also claimed electors “could not cast” their votes in the past five years and urged them to ensure that they can exercise their franchise in the February 16 elections.
