'All were praying, many started crying too': Passenger recounts Air India Express engine fire horror
BENGALURU: Dr Jeffy Cherry was one of the 179 passengers on the Air India Express flight from Bengaluru to Kochi, which caught fire mid-air and returned to Kempegowda International Airport. The dentist from Thrissur commended the evacuation team for their excellent job in ensuring the safety of all on board. He recounted the terrifying experience of seeing sparks near the wing of the flight in the darkness. Dr Cherry and his mother C M Shantha had come to Bengaluru on Saturday morning by an Indigo flight to attend the funeral of a relative. They were returning to home by IX 1132 from Terminal 2 when the drama occurred. He told TNIE, The flight was supposed to depart at 9 pm on Saturday but it had not yet returned from another trip. The airline had intimated us earlier in the day that the flight would be delayed by an hour. The boarding finally took place at 10.30 pm. A little later, the flight took off. The incident unfolded a little after we were in the air, he recalled. Most of the flyers were from Kerala. I was seated in the middle in the left side of the aircraft. I could hear a thud sound coming from the right side of the flight. The sound kept increasing gradually. Suddenly, a little girl said aloud that she could see fire from the wing of the aircraft. Then many started moving towards the right end and we all could see the fire. One of us alerted a male cabin crew member who took a look and immediately went inside the cockpit to alert the pilot. The crew advised all of us to go to our seats and remain seated. At this time, the pilot announced that they were going back to have an emergency landing at Bengaluru. There was shock and almost everyone was frightened after they heard this. The cabin crew was handling the situation remarkably well, he added. Almost all passengers were praying and many started crying too. There was a lot of fear and the flame could be seen very clearly too since it was dark, he added. After the flight landed at Bengaluru safely, the emergency exits were opened and passengers were advised on how to go about it. Though we were asked to come in a queue, many passengers started pushing ahead and rushing. Many were trying to take their luggage along and were trying to take it from above but were directed to leave them behind and rush, the dentist said. The evacuation slide (also called as emergency escape slides are inflatable slides made of strong fibres) was deployed on both ends to facilitate passengers slide down comfortably) opened near the exit doors. Many rushed down. The elderly were a bit worried but they were convinced and reassured by the crew to slide down and men were waiting below to help them. Then, we were all immediately made to board a shuttle bus and taken to the terminal, he said. However, the dentist said he was completely unimpressed by what happened there. Though food and drinks were provided, the right support at the airport was lacking, he added. Many had left their handbags on the flight and desperately wanted them. The elderly had medicines in it. We were told the bags would reach Kochi but flyers engaged in much argument and demanded their bags be handed over. Air India Express staff told us that flyers could leave by a flight at 2 am on Sunday but most refused to travel without baggage. Finally, both our hand baggage and check-in baggage were handed over to all by 2.30 am. We were then told that we could leave by the 5 am flight but the timing was repeatedly changed. Finally, by 10 am on Sunday, a flight was arranged in which 122 passengers could travel. We had major arguments and refused to travel until all the 179 flyers could be accommodated. We left only after it was clear that arrangements for the rest would be made by subsequent flights. The flight took off by 11.30 am finally. The doctor and his mother reached Kochi safely by late afternoon

Karnataka moves SC challenging quashing of case against JD(S) leader for damaging EVMs
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court issued notice and asked JD(S) leader BB Patil, also a former police officer, to reply to an appeal filed by the Karnataka government challenging the quashing of a criminal complaint against him for damaging Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) as part of a mob last year during the Karnataka assembly elections. A two-judge bench of the top court, led by Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma issued notice to Patil and sought his response in the Karnataka government appeal. The apex court would now hear the case after summer vacations (July 7). It is to be noted that Patil, a retired police officer belonging to JD(S) party, is accused of allegedly damaging EVMs as part of a mob last year during the Karnataka assembly elections. Initially, in July 2023, Karnataka High Court's Kalaburagi Bench, in its order had quashed the criminal case and complaint against Patil and granted him relief in the case. But Karnataka govt had subsequently moved the apex court and filed an appeal before it seeking reversal of the HC order. Karnataka government in its appeal, said that the complaint was wrongly quashed by the HC. Without appreciating that there are overwhelming material (documents or evidences) against him (Patil) which was placed on record in the form of video recordings and photographs showing him to be part of the mob that attacked and abused the government officials on election duty and damaged the EVM machines, Karnataka govt said in its appeal filed before the top court. The Karnataka govt strongly made it clear to thr apex court that the accused had played an active role and led the mob that attacked poll officials, causing damage to vehicles and destroyed election materials including EVMs last year during the assembly polls.

Action on Prajwal Revanna is OK, but false case against Revanna, says Deve Gowda
BENGALURU: Breaking his silence on the sexual abuse charges against his grandson and Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda on Saturday clarified that he has no objection to the legal action initiated against Prajwal. But he alleged that the ruling Congress has created a case against his son and MLA HD Revanna. Prajwal fled the country after casting his vote in Hassan on April 26. After this, the Karnataka government set up an SIT based on the state womens commissions recommendation, to probe the Hassan sex scandal. Meanwhile, the SIT arrested Revanna on May 4 in connection with the alleged abduction of a victim of the alleged sexual abuse. Revanna got bail and was released from jail on May 14. But he is facing another case of alleged sexual abuse and hearing will be held on Monday. Gowda made his last public appearance on April 26 when he cast his vote at Paduvalahippe village in Hassan district along with his wife Channamma and family members. He did not step out of his Padmanabha Nagar house in Bengaluru after the scandal came to light. Attempts to tarnish image of family: HDD Deve Gowda did not even campaign in the third phase of Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka. On Saturday, he turned 92 and visited Sri Tirumalagiri Venkataramanaswamy Temple at JP Nagar as he does on his birthday every year and chose to speak to the media on the occasion. We have no objection to the action being taken against Prajwal. But people of the state have realised how a case has been created against Revanna, he said. He said he will not comment on it as his son and former CM HD Kumaraswamy has spoken elaborately on behalf of his (Gowdas) family. I will not take the names of those involved, but action should be taken against all of them, including Prajwal, as per law. It is the governments responsibility, he said. Replying to a query, Gowda said its true that his detractors are trying to tarnish the image of his family. On BJP leader and lawyer Devaraje Gowdas allegation that Deputy CM DK Shivakumar is behind the conspiracy, the former PM clarified that Kumaraswamy has spoken about all matters related to it. As JDS state chief, Kumaraswamy has been handling various issues related to the party. He has even clarified that action should be taken against all those, including Prajwal, involved in the circulation of obscene pen drives, he said. The former PM took exception to mediapersons camping outside his house. What have you achieved (by camping outside my house)? Now I am putting an end to it and you are free to telecast. I have campaigned (for the NDA candidates) in the LS elections and will speak after June 4 (when poll results will be announced), he said.

Activists say its time to protect eco-democracy in India
BENGALURU: Climate change activists from across the country, including Karnataka, on Saturday highlighted how the indiscriminate granting of clearances to large projects is impacting the environment and doing irreparable damage to the natural resources. They strongly advocated for the protection of environmental democracy. The group alleged that several new laws and amendments are weakening the forests, coastal zones, wildlife, biodiversity, minerals, and other resources, facilitating environmental destruction. During the discussion, a report was also released by Fridays for Future (FFF), Bahutava Karnataka, and Peoples Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) on the State of Indias environment over the last decade. Disha Ravi, Founder, FFF said, It is getting very difficult for activists to survive in the country and it is crucial to hold people in power accountable. We need to think of how we will protect our democracy and ones right to ask questions. She added that according to the Global Witness Report 2023, India is the seventh most dangerous country to be an environment defender and the jailing of activists has subsequently gone up. The upcoming government should prioritise climate change policy, as it will be a big equaliser in the coming years, she said. Rohit Prajapati, environmentalist and founding member of Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti said, The country has reached a stage where we dont have a dispute with the state or judiciary on the facts. Nobody denies that the data. National Green Tribunal (NGT) orders have been extending deadlines for restoration of severalwater bodies but nothing changes on the ground. Many rivers across the country are beyond rejuvenation.

India, record holder of hate speeches, says ADR founder
BENGALURU: India holds the proud record of being the country with the highest number of hate speeches . With politics ingrained, no one is open to others views, which often leads to conflicts. We have not evolved as a democracy, said Trilochan Sastry, founder and chairman of the Association for Democratic Reforms. ADR is also the organization that filed several petitions against the electoral bond scheme, which was subsequently struck down by the Supreme Court bench, and termed as unconstitutional. Speaking about Transparency, Accountability, and the Threat to Independent Institutions at the PK Dey Memorial Lecture on Saturday, Sastry said, The Election Commission of India (ECI), an independent body, has received over 20,000 complaints from civil society groups and individuals to act against hate speeches and flouting of several other Model Code of Conduct (MCC), however, there has been no action. He touched upon the necessity to keep independent institutions such as ECI, the judiciary, CBI, the Income Tax department, and others free from the excess of executive powers for a healthy democracy. He raised a fundamental question asking, When a common man breaks the law, he can be arrested and jailed. What about when the government breaks a law or the police? Our constitution lacks answers on this. At least the US has the tort law. The founder explained that since 2014, 8,947 cases under the UAPA, 788 under Sedition, and 1,797 cases under the Money Laundering Act have been registered respectively, the highest when compared to previous regimes. He added that officers in positions of independent bodies end up joining political parties, with some becoming ministers or governors, which raises eyebrows on whether they were actually independent during the years in office or not. Anil Verma, Head, ADR, during his address, spoke about a three-pronged approach to keeping institutions independent. He said, Targeting political parties and not allowing them to field candidates with tainted profiles and criminal cases against them; intensive campaigns to educate voters, especially youth, are needed. Lastly, to maintain pressure on political parties, judicial activism is critical for transparency and accountability. He added that ADRs recent report read that 31 percent of candidates are crorepatis and 19 percent have criminal cases against them.
Siddaramaiah and DK Shiva Kumar face challenge as many in race for Council poll tickets
MYSURU: With elections to the Legislative Council approaching fast, it has posed a fresh challenge to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his Deputy DK Shiva Kumar as many senior leaders and fresh faces are knocking at their doors for tickets. Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar had managed the ticket distribution for the assembly election as well as the concluded Lok Sabha elections, where 65 per cent of the contestants were children of ministers and senior leaders. But they have a bit of a challenge on their hands now, as they have to pick the candidates based on the region, seniority, service to the party, caste factor etc. Understandably, senior party leaders, who did not get the chance to contest the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, are lobbying hard for tickets. Congress could win eight of the 12 seats and the opposition BJP and JDS combine can wrest the remaining four. The long list of Congress candidates includes party chief spokesman Ramesh Babu, former Council Chairman UR Sudarshan, veteran BL Shankar, KPCC Womens Wing president Pushpa Amarnath, KPCC General Secretary Ramachandrappa, Vijay Mulgund, Manjunath of Chitradurga, Ivan D Souza from Mangaluru, ex-MP VS Ugrappa and ex-MLA N Sampangi. Former chairman of the Backward Class Commission CS Dwarkanath, considered to be a voice of nomads and adivasis, is also a strong contender for the council ticket. The 12 Council seats will fall vacant on June 17. At the same time, sitting MLCs K Govindaraju, Minister NS Boseraju and Aravindkumar Arali from Kalburgi are seeking continuation. Congress has an uphill task striking a balance and ensuring that disgruntlement among rejected candidates does not set further gloom on Congress prospects. Adding to pressure, opposition parties have been claiming, day in and out, that the Congress government will collapse after the Lok Sabha elections. Daydream: Siddaramaiah slams Eknath Shinde, says Karnataka government stable Maharashtra CM Ekanath Shindes recent statement that the Congress government in Karnataka will face the same fate as its coalition in Maharashtra has triggered speculation in political circles. The majority of aspirants are waiting for the Lok Sabha results to lobby for the Council seats. SIDDU FLOODED with requests in home turf Too many Congress leaders from Siddaramaiahs backyard have shown interest in contesting the election adding to his worry. Sources said it is almost certain that Dr Yathindra Siddaramaiah will be made a Council member for vacating the Varuna seat for his father Sidaramaiah. District Congress president BJ Vijaykumar, who missed the Lok Sabha election ticket from Mysuru-Kodagu, ST Development Corporation former chairman SC Basavaraju from Varuna constituency, former MLA HP Manjunath , ex-MLA GN Nanjundaswamy, Veena Achaiah, former mayor Ayub Khan and city Congress president R Murthy too are seeking tickets. Siddaramaiah, however, has kept cards close to his chest.
High-octane year for Karnataka government, Parties now pin hopes on LS poll outcome
Around the same time last year, after a hard-fought election, Congress won a clear majority in the Karnataka assembly. After hectic parleys in the national capital, Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar took oath as Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, respectively, on May 20. Now, as the government completes its first year in office, peoples verdict on its performance will be out on June 4, when the results to the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will be announced. It was indeed a politically charged year for the state government and the ruling as well as the opposition parties. For the people in general, it was a bittersweet year, but it was the worst for farmers hit by severe drought. It is not fair to judge the state governments performance based only on the outcome of the Lok Sabha polls in the 28 seats, especially in the state, where the voting patterns for the assembly and Lok Sabha polls are different. But that is how it is viewed now. The Congress campaign in Karnataka was mainly mounted on its governments performance, especially the implementation of five guarantees which included free travel for women in state transport corporation buses, free electricity, financial assistance to women heads of households, Rs 170 in lieu of an additional five kilograms of rice to BPL families, and financial assistance to unemployed youth. From day one, it appeared that the entire focus of the state government was on implementing the guarantee schemes and burnishing its report card to maximise its gains in the Lok Sabha polls. Congress leaders are showcasing the Karnataka model to give credence to its national manifesto. Politically speaking, it did reasonably well on that strategy. However, questions were raised over the effective implementation of those schemes on the ground, its impact on development works and the diversion of funds meant for taking up development works exclusively for people from scheduled castes and tribes. The long-term benefits of such schemes and their impact on the economy are yet to be studied. Last year, it looked like a period between the assembly and Lok Sabha polls. While Congress kept its state unit fighting fit to do an encore of assembly poll performance in the Lok Sabha elections, the government took on the Centre on various issues, including alleged disparity in the devolution of taxes and drought relief. In an unprecedented move, the CM led a protest against the Centre and the state approached the Supreme Court for drought relief funds. The Center-state relations were strained. Farmers, who were in distress due to drought, were hit by delays in disbursement of compensation. Bomb explosion in popular Bengaluru cafe leaves 10 injured The law and order issues caused discomfiture to the government. From a blast at Rameshwaram Caf in Bengaluru, the raising of alleged pro-Pakistan slogans on the corridors of Vidhana Soudha by Congress supporters, assault on a shopkeeper playing devotional songs to gruesome murders in Hubballi, Karnataka was in the news for the wrong reasons. It may not be prudent to say the law and order situation in the state has deteriorated, but they do reflect the situation on the ground. Even in a sex scandal allegedly involving JD(S) MP from Hassan, Prajwal Revanna, the government should have taken proactive measures to prevent the circulation of videos to protect the identity of victims while initiating stern action against the accused. All along, the big question the party kept dodging was whether Siddaramaiah would continue as chief minister for five years or hand over the baton to DK Shivakumar. There is no clarity on it yet, but not giving a clear picture to the people of the state exposes the delicate power equations within the party. On its part, after its drubbing in the assembly polls, the BJP managed to regroup itself to some extent under the new state president BY Vijayendra. But to what extent it has made a turnaround will be known only after the Lok Sabha poll results. Although it is a Modi-centric poll for the BJP, local leaders do play an important role in taking the top leaderships message to the cadre and voters. For JD(S), it was a year of challenges and existential crisis. After the poor show in the assembly polls, it was rocked by the sex scandal allegedly involving its MP. As the Siddaramaiah government enters its second year in office, Lok Sabha results could further strengthen its position, or it may trigger intense political churning in the state.
