It looks like Kuselan will not release in Karnataka, causing a loss of Rs 1.50 crore to its distributors Pyramid Saimira. The chauvinist organization Karnataka Rakshana Vedika (KRV) is determined to block the release of the film scheduled on August 1.
Their grouse is that during the Tamil Film industry's protest fast opposing Karnataka stand on the Hogenekkal project, Rajinikanth had come down heavily on Karnataka. He had warned the state not to politicize the issue.
Rajinikanth in typical style seen in his films had said: "Karnataka should not test our (Tamilnadu) patience by not letting us draw water from our own land." This made Rajini a hero in the land where he became a superstar and a villain in his own home state.
The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation Mangalore division has initiated the move to introduce city and mofussil services in its divisional jurisdiction, particularly a city service in Mangalore and intra city service between Udupi and Mangalore.
Initially the KSRTC will start Peak Hour Service (PHS) in various routes including Ullal to State Bank, Surathkal to State Bank. Feasibility studies are also on for few other routes according to top official sources in KSRTC headquarters in Shantinagar Bangalore.
The sources said the proposal has come from the KSRTC Mangalore division and a decision will be taken at the Board level soon. The Ministry is also in the grip of the situation.
The Dakshina Kannada district is serviced by mainly by the private operators. There is 60 percent private routes and only 40 percent nationalized routes. The KSRTC is operating on all state highways while the Udupi-Mangalore sector has been operated solely by private operators despite the KSRTC being in a position to operate on this route.
Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on Wednesday threatened that his party BJP would hit the streets if the Centre failed to respond the state's need for fertilizer for farmers.
"We will have to take to the streets if the Centre fails to respond", Yeddyurappa told reporters after meeting Governor Rameshwar Thakur to pressure Centre to get adequate fertilizer stocks to the state in the wake of stepped up demand following revival of monsoon activity.
A severe shortage of power in Karnataka has reached alarming proportions. The authorities are resorting to loadshedding in various parts of the state including Bangalore.
In view of the failure of monsoon rains, the authorities had already suspended power generation in a couple of hydro-electric power generating stations in the state. Adding to their woes, the technical snags experienced at two thermal power-generating units at Raichur have sparked off a major crisis in the state.
Several parts of the state including Bangalore remained plunged in darkness for almost two hours on Monday due to an unexpected shortfall. The disruption in power supply continued yesterday forcing the top brass of Energy Department to go into a huddle and chalk out emergency measures.
It is now sure that some murmurs within the party have begun over the induction of new ministers and the new MLAs into the party. Mr. Yeddyurappa himself appears to be not happy the way it is going and the state party president D.V. Sadananda Gowda has stayed aloof from the party affairs for last one week since the three MLAs from JDs and Congress joined the party.
It has come as a shock to the old timer BJP leaders that those MLAs who have been in other parties have joined the party and have become ministers over night and those old timers who have won from their respective constituencies for more than 4 times have not even been given a board president's job let alone being given ministry.
The seething dissent came into open when many senior party leaders including the party state president D.V. Sadananda Gowda abstained from attending the swearing in ceremony at Raj Bhavan on Thursday. He has not been sent an invitation by the CM's office say circles close to Mr. Gowda. He was at Puttur when the swearing in ceremony took place.
