Mangalore, Apr 16: "The state is reeling under severe drought but the state government is busy in resolving its internal clashes. The government has failed in all respects, and hence chief minister Sadananda Gowda should resign as he has lost the confidence of the people and doesn't have the strength to run the government," said KPCC president Dr Parameshwar.

He was speaking to reporters during his visit to Shri Chandrashekar Swamiji Ashram at Mulky near here on Monday April 16 to participate in Mahavishnu Yaga.

He further said, "It is a shame that the state government has not done enough to tackle the drought situation. The centre has sent three teams to assess the situation and they will finish their work by April 21. Also, a report will be submitted to the centre and to Congress national president Sonia Gandhi who will visit Tumkur on April 28."

On the tussle between PU lecturers and the state governent, he said ultimately it is the students who will be affected and hence the government should take immediate steps to arrive at a solution.

Taking digs at BJP he said, "BJP came to power by claiming to be a party with principles, but the extent of problems it created for the people of the state was proved in the recent Udupi-Chikmagalur bypoll. In the coming Vidhana Sabha elections too, the people will teach them a lesson."

'Spirituality needs to built on Principled Stand'

“People from different parts of the world, as we see, express their religious sentiments through multifarious forms of observations and practices, which bring out the deep-rooted faith and devotion they have towards the Almighty. The practices and principles that are part of Indian culture have unique meanings. Devotion has got impetus because of the virtue of principles and principled stand we find in our spirituality,” said Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Pejavar Mutt, Udupi. He hailed Chandrashekhara Swamiji for getting involved with spiritual guidance and social service in a big way.

He was delivering benedictory address at the religious meeting organized at the Ashram of Chandrashekhara Swamiji at Mulky on Monday April 16, as part of the Maha Vishnu Yaga organized there.

The Yaga was solemnized by over 50 scholars who arrived here from Vidyapeetha based at Bangalore, with the aim of achieving world peace and welfare of Karnataka state, said Chandrashekhara Swamiji on the occasion.

Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar from Mysore presided over the meeting. On this occasion, well-known astrologer, Kilapady Govinda Bhat and his wife, Sharadamma, parents of Chandrashekhara Swamiji, were honoured on the occasion of golden jubilee year of their marriage.

Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president, G Parameshwar, recounted the contributions made by Chandrashekhara Swamiji towards welfare of the society. He said Chandrashekhara Swamiji stands out as an excellent example for devotion and reverence one should have towards their parents at a time when people abandon their parents during their old age.
