Amit Shah to visit communally sensitive DK region on Feb 11


Puttur, Feb 2 (IANS): Preparations are in full swing in the ruling BJP camp to welcome Union Home Minister Amit Shah on his first visit to the communally sensitive coastal region on February 11 ahead of the Assembly polls.

Shah is scheduled to visit Puttur town of Dakshina Kannada (DK) district to take part in golden jubilee celebrations of the Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Co-operative Limited (Campko).

Dakshina Kannada district witnessed revenge killings and is considered as a communally sensitive district in the state. The Minister's visit assumes significance against the backdrop of Assembly elections which are just two months away.

Coastal Karnataka region is a bastion of BJP and considered as laboratory of "Hindutva" in the state. The region will make national news for moral policing, communal strife. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai while commenting on moral policing, stated that there will be an action for reaction.

The statement was slammed by opposition parties saying that the CM's statement had made Hindutva forces in the region emboldened. They also claimed that this encouragement had resulted in revenge killings.

Amit Shah, who had visited the Mandya district in the south region of the state and Belagavi, Hubballi-Dharwad districts in the north, is all set to give a message in coastal Karnataka.

BJP MLA Sanjeeva Mathandur held a meeting of the government officers and officers from the police department at the taluk panchayat office in Puttur on the preparations to welcome Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

MLA Sanjeeva Mathandur stated that one lakh people from the surrounding region will attend a public rally which is going to be attended by Amit Shah.

    DK is communally sensitive? Says who? Amit Shah or the authors of this article? DK is the BJP stronghold and hence this characterization? DK have well informed electorate and hence probably this is an apt characterization by non-BJP followers. Having said that, I have a suggestion to the honorable home minister viz., that please fly to Bangalore and drive by road to Mangalore with a reference of Gujarat's 365 KM drive. Many fly from Bangalore to Mangalore. But majority who show up in the booth on election day, do not and would get on the bus or drive. If even BJP supporters are upset with BJP, you would understand why and that is just the tip of iceberg. The successes of Gujarat, UP has not necessarily translated to Karnataka's BJP rule. You need to take Karnataka more seriously.

We fear only one and that is the God Almighty - Think you are referring to present CM - see his body language in pics with the PM or HM - like a drenched rat - if there’s a video you can catch him shivering, same with other stooges also known as Blind Bhakths who equate the duo with God.

    Readers, DK district was an oasis of tranquillity, locals were warm and friendly... The transformation began gradually, around three decades ago, due to the demographic change, which was effectively due to the influence of volatile region of North Kerala Today the majority community who were INC supporters, have flocked towards the BJP for obvious reasons....

    Who is going to Ban and how? All you guys can do is bash on online forums once he leaves after his visit. Do not instigate emotions on online forums. We have seen your stand during the CAA protest. Some are still attending court cases., The ones who disappeared are still balling around with fake ids.

    DK District is one of the most educated districts in karnataka. But education does not equal to prosperity when people are brainwashed towards hating another person just because of his/her religion. The rot and hatred is so much that the the next two generations are growing up in it.. This has been further fuelled by the BJP and their visiting top brass who sow more and more hatred. Its sad when politicians prioritise religion over development and even sadder when educated people fall for it. Its a tragedy to see the twin districts become saffron labs for the agenda on hatred.

    Well said Ms. Smitha, you hit the ail on the head when you said the next two generations are being brainwashed and will suffer for the follies of hate politics … wake up South Kanara, don’t loose your families for small gains, let’s not be influenced by the disastrous Gujju model - whose motto is “ Self Interest is Supreme Interest “

    He is a future PM candidate. Gujjus are soft spoken with little education but know how to win the heart and mind of educated people of Karnataka. Sometimes educated people are believe everything said by these Baniyas just for thier own benefit and make the educated idiots of our DK merry go round. Vote for a party who involved with economic development and job creation next who keeps religion separate from government. It is hard to find any of them here.
