ಗುವಾಹಟಿ (ಪಿಟಿಐ): ಈಶಾನ್ಯ ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳ ಜನತೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹಲ್ಲೆಯನ್ನು ವಿರೋಧಿಸಿ ಮಿಜೋರಾಂ, ನಾಗಾ ಲ್ಯಾಂಡ್, ಮಣಿಪುರ ಹಾಗೂ ಅರುಣಾಚಲ ಪ್ರದೇಶದ ವಿವಿಧ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿ ಸಂಘಟನೆಗಳು ಗುರುವಾರ ಕರೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದ 12ಗಂಟೆಗಳ ಬಂದ್ ಯಶಸ್ವಿ ಆಗಿದೆ.

ಎಲ್ಲೆಡೆ ಉತ್ತಮ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯೆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತವಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಜನಜೀವನ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಅಸ್ತವ್ಯಸ್ತಗೊಂಡಿತು. ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಇಲಾಖೆಗಳು, ಬ್ಯಾಂಕ್, ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳು, ಅಂಗಡಿಗಳು ಬಹುತೇಕ ಮುಚ್ಚಿದ್ದವು. ವಾಹನಗಳ ಸಂಚಾರ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ

At North Eastern states they had called a bundh asking all Non North eastern people to eastern people to leave their states and there is no place for outsiders and even their Government is supporting them. But In Karnataka the very Home Minister and Chief Minister begs the outsiders(North-eastern people) to stay in Bangalore and even our Home Minister and Chief Minister goes to North Eastern states and pleads them to come to Bangalore.
Here in Bangalore no one care for kannadiga.In Most MNC's in Bangalore local people do not get jobs.  Even small shops  marts and Hotels hotel give preference to non kannadigas. Forget kannadiga, even Kodavas,Tuluvas, face the same problems. The govt should set up "Karnataka Udyog Academy" (we only hope this academy do not have non-kannadiga member).

SC/STs well represented in state government jobs



BANGALORE: Karnataka has done well in representation for SC/STs in government jobs. The passage of the constitutional amendment Bill to provide reservations in promotion to SC/STs in government jobs may further boost their chances to be in top posts.
While the constitutionally prescribed norm is 15% representation to SCs and 3% to STs, Karnataka has nearly 17% SCs and over 4% STs in government service.
According to the report on the representation of Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in state civil services as on March 31,2011, published by the directorate of economics and statistics from information collected through 85 departments, 92,998 SCs and 24,877 STs are employed by the state government. Of these, 71 departments have more than 15% representation.
While total sanctioned posts in the state is 6,81,115, thefilled-up posts are 5,50,155. This means SCs represent nearly 1.9% (10,475) and STs 1.52% (8,372) of the total work force. Sandeep Shastry, pro-chancellor, Jain University, says the promotion quota bill is justified as there aren't many officers in top ranks.
Government jobs are still most preferred by SC/STs. The increase in awareness and competitiveness among oppressed classes has made SC/STs choose these jobs. Besides coaching classes for civil services examination, there are instances of SC/ST candidates getting jobs in the general category without citing their caste while applying for exams.
Constitutional expert Ravi Varma Kumar said the trend is due to successive state governments providing good incentives. "Reservations in Karnataka were provided for the first time in 1874 and has been continuing since then," he added. Kumar felt the cap of 15% and 3% for SCs and STs should be revised as their total population, according to 2011 census, is 17% and 8%.
The maximum representation of SCs is in education department with 39,428 (16.33%), followed by police with 14,336 (18.35%). Least representation is in population centre with 2 and national highways with 51 employees. STs are more in police 3,577 (4.58%) and education department 10,623 (4.40%).
"The opportunity and ability to use it has been a success story of Karnataka. It's beyond doubt that the competitiveness of SCs are in-depth. A significant percentage of SCs have competed in general/merit quota and succeeded."

Lokayukta wants ‘flop’ as SPP in HC

Questions are being asked about L Umakanthan’s competence, given that he was reprimanded more than once by Lokayukta judge Sudhindra Rao
By S Shyam Prasad
Posted On Monday, June 18, 2012 Freakin' Awesome! Freakin' Awesome! Freakin' Awesome! Freakin' Awesome! Freakin' Awesome!

The Lokayukta’s recommendation of an advocate, whose earlier work in the anti-corruption watchdog’s trial court was found not up to the mark, as its special public prosecutor in the High Court has raised several eyebrows.
 
L Umakanthan had resigned as SPP of the Lokayukta for Bangalore Urban in February this year, following reports of his being reprimanded by Lokayukta court judge NK Sudhindra Rao. Earlier, the Lokayukta police had rooted for continuation of SPP I S Pramod Chandra but Umakanthan was given the job in December last year. Now, when the five-year tenure of Rajendra Reddy, who has handled high-profile cases including those pertaining to Katta Subramanya Naidu and BS Yeddyurappa, was expected to be extended, Umakanthan’s name has once again been proposed for the job.
 
During his earlier three-month tenure, Umakanthan had failed to recall the names of witnesses in graft cases involving politicians. On some occasions, the court had to get the investigating officer to provide details. On one occasion, Umakanthan failed to name the witnesses in the bribery case involving MLA Y Sampangi. In another instance, during the hearing of the Upper Bhadra Project contract case against BS Yeddyurappa, the judge had taken him to task for failing to answer questions related to the report on the case.
 
 
Not aware of letter: Umakanthan
Though sources confirmed that the letter recommending his name has already been sent to the government, Umakanthanhan said that he was not aware of it.
 
There are around 250 cases related to the Lokayukta in the High Court, including high-profile ones involving various former chief ministers and ministers. The SPP is responsible for handling these cases.
 
Meanwhile, Rajendra Reddy said it was the discretion of the Lokayukta to appoint an SPP. Since the post of Lokayukta is vacant, Upa Lokayukta SB Majage is in charge of administrative decisions. Reddy said, “The SPP can be removed anytime. I have completed five years. However, I came to know of the recommendation letter from other sources. I want to stop attending the cases immediately as I will not be able to do justice in such a scenario.”

 
Strong track record needed
High Court advocate GR Mohan said, “Someone with a strong track record in trial courts should be made the special public prosecutor in the Karnataka High Court. If he has resigned as Lokayukta prosecutor in the trial court, questions will be raised over why he is being recommended to the High Court.”
