Govt ignoring coastal Karnataka, claims BJP
Mangaluru: Accusing the Congress-led state government of apathy and administrative failure in addressing public issues in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced a large-scale dharna satyagraha in front of all Gram Panchayat, Town Municipal and City Municipal Council offices across the two districts on June 23. The protest, scheduled between 10 am and 1 pm, aims to highlight what the party describes as 'deliberate neglect' of people's basic civic needs and pending welfare schemes. District BJP presidents, MLAs, MLCs and MPs from both districts are expected to participate in the demonstration. Among the key issues flagged by BJP MLC Kishore Kumar Puttur, who released a statement on Tuesday, are: Delays in plot approval: Residents are allegedly being forced to travel to other taluk headquarters and wait for months to get approvals for residential plot layouts, particularly for Form 9 and 11E. Staff shortages in local bodies: Gram Panchayats continue to face acute staff crunch, with no remedial action from the government. Stalled housing under Ashraya scheme: Approval of houses has been on hold for over two years, and even ongoing works are not receiving sanctioned funds. Rejection of Akrama-Sakrama applications: Widespread dissatisfaction is brewing over what the BJP terms as 'arbitrary' rejection of regularisation applications without proper scrutiny. Non-disbursement of pension schemes: Elderly citizens and beneficiaries under the Sandhya Suraksha scheme are allegedly not receiving their entitled pensions. Threats to Gruha Lakshmi scheme: The government is reportedly considering rolling back the flagship women's welfare scheme, citing fiscal constraints. Misuse of public funds: BJP has criticised the ongoing re-enumeration exercise under the name of census as a misuse of public money. Terming the protest 'a people's movement rather than a political campaign,' Puttur stated that the dharna would be peaceful but firm in conveying the grievances of ordinary citizens to the government.

BJP to stage protests at 399 locations in Dakshina Kannada on June 23 against Congress govt's 'anti-people' policies
MANGALURU: Dakshina Kannada BJP will hold protests simultaneously at 399 locations in the district to oppose the anti-people policies of the Congress govt in the state. Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta told reporters here on Tuesday that protests will be held in front of all the 223 gram panchayats, two city municipalities, three town municipalities, eight town panchayats, and Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) on June 23. 'The party decided to hold simultaneous protests to draw the govt's attention to various demands of the people. Elected representatives from the BJP have been raising various issues at the KDP meets, legislature sessions, and submitted memorandums to the ministers. Since the govt has not responded to the demands, the party has decided to unite people to launch a massive protest,' he said. People in the district are not able to construct houses due to confusion regarding Form 9 and 11 pertaining to their land. The govt should simplify the process as people are pushed from pillar to post to get building plans at present. Meanwhile, applications submitted by farmers for regularisation of land under Akrama Sakrama were being rejected even without bringing the matter to the notice of the respective Akrama Sakrama Samitis headed by MLAs, the MP said. 'Officials have been rejecting Akrama Sakrama applications unilaterally as part of an anti-farmer policy of the govt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Had No Idea Why Boyfriend Wanted Her To Shower Twice Daily, Until She Met His Mom BimBamBam Read More Undo Those farmers, who have been protecting the kumki land from the land mafia, have no protection,' he said. The Congress govt has failed to sanction houses under the Ashraya Scheme to the poor. Each gram panchayat was sanctioned 50 to 100 houses under the scheme during the BJP tenure, he said, demanding at least 100 houses should be sanctioned in each gram panchayat under the scheme. Denial of pension for senior citizens under the Sandhya Suraksha scheme is another major lapse of the govt. In fact, the govt is trying to snatch the benefits under various social security schemes to cover up the loss caused to the exchequer due to corruption, he alleged. The govt has even failed to provide relief to families affected by rain damages in the district. 'The issue will be raised during the next KDP meeting to be chaired by District Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao,' he added.
