Siddaramaiah is seen snatching a mic from the woman which results in her dupatta coming down.

Senior Congress leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah lost his cool while interacting with a woman on Monday. A video of the incident has gone viral.

In it, Siddaramaiah is seen snatching a mic from the woman which results in her dupatta falling down.

The Congress leader was furious with something that the woman had said and did not even seem to realise what just happened. Siddaramaiah then asked her to shut up and sit down.

The incident took place in Mysuru.

The woman in question was complaining about the lack of developmental work in the constituency. Angry over her questions, the honourable former chief minister leaped forward to pull the mic from her hand.

The news of Siddaramaiah misbehaving with the woman comes just two hours after Siddaramaiah preached Union minister Ananth Kumar Hegde about public decency.

In a tweet, Siddaramaiah said: “Ananth Kumar Hegde is not fit to be an MP. He should apologise and resign immediately for his insensitive comments towards @dineshgrao and also for his provocative statements aimed at creating social conflicts.”

The Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was quick to slam Siddaramaiah for his act. The BJP called him a modern day Dushashan (brother of the Kuravaa king Duryodhan who outrgaed the modesty of Draaupadi in Mahabharat). The BJP said the present JDS-Congress governmnet in Karnataka is no different from the rule of the evil Kauravas in Mahabharat.

“He is Siddaramaiah threatening and abusing a women openly. Demon Dushashana is finally reborn and (has) resumed power in the governmnet of Karnataka,” the Karnataka BJP said in a tweet.

“This is how Congress-JDS treats women,” the BJP said.

On the other hand, the Congress has justified Siddaramaiah’s action. Congress leader Dinesh Gundu Rao told news agency media that at times people start behaving in a rough manner while asking question and you want to pull the mic from them.

Nasheman News : Leading private life insurer Bharti AXA Life Insurance has embarked upon a public awareness drive to fight against spurious calling and mis-selling with a view to making customers alert and aware about fake insurance offers and unscrupulous returns by fraudsters.

Bharti AXA Life Insurance, a joint venture between Bharti Enterprises and French insurance major AXA, is one of the few life insurers to have lodged complaints with the police in many parts of the country after receiving information about fraudulent cases.

“Mis-selling and spurious calling have become a significant problem in the domestic insurance industry. As a responsible insurance company, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards mis-selling or any illegitimate inducements. Our sales teams help customers take an informed decision on the back of full product and services disclosures,” Vikas Seth, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Bharti AXA Life Insurance, said here on Monday.

The company is organising customer care camps and programmes across all its branches in the country on regular intervals for sensitising insurance buyers against misleading offers and gains.

“We are making policyholders and customers alert and aware through our public awareness programmes and also informing them about the modus operandi and modus vivendi of perpetrators involved and spurious callers, who lure people through misleading information and bogus offers. We are also registering complaints with the police wherever it is required and seeking their assistance to act against these offenders,” Seth added.

Bharti AXA Life has set up a pre-issuance video verification call system to help customers understand the terms and benefits of the insurance policy and empower them to take an informed decision.

“It is our endeavour to ensure that customers are provided with adequate information required to take a well-informed decision. We have taken several steps, including policy on-boarding stage, post-issuance call for welcoming policyholders and formation of grievance redressal cell, during the policy life cycle to reduce mis-selling,” said Ishita Mukherjee, Chief Operating Officer, Bharti AXA Life Insurance.

After welcoming policyholders during post-issuance stage, the company provides policy contracts via instant messaging platform WhatsApp that helps them immediately review insurance policy terms and conditions.

Apart from setting up a robust pre and post verification and due-diligence process, the company also trains its workforce and advisers to act in the interests of insurance buyers.

“We always urge the customers to be alert on their part too and not fall prey to any individual or firm claiming superfluous gains. As part of our check and balance strategy in the interest of the customers, we help them choose and get the right policy, encourage them to fill in forms with complete and accurate details, understand policy terms and benefits and ask them to pay through cheques or digital money,” Mukherjee added.

Nasheman News :  Om Prakash Rajbhar, a BJP ally and an Uttar Pradesh Minister, on Monday said that he found Congress President Rahul Gandhi fit to be the Prime Minister.

The Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief, who is at daggers drawn with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on many issues, told reporters in Ballia, “I find Rahul Gandhi fit to be Prime Minister. The final word rests with the people and they will decide who will be India’s next Prime Minister.”

In an embarrassment to the BJP, the Minister also accused Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of “misleading people” on the Ram temple issue in Ayodhya. 

Responding to a question by the media on Adityanath’s statement that given a chance he will solve the Ram temple issue in 24 hours, Rajbhar said if that was indeed the ability of the BJP, why had it not been done do so in the past five years of ruling India.

The Backward Welfare Minister said: “When the central government could not do anything in five years, what will the Chief Minister do in 24 hours?”

Asked to comment on the political debut of Priyanka Gandhi and its effect on voters, he said only time will tell if she was just a crowd puller or can also convert it into votes. 

Priyanka Gandhi was appointed the Congress General Secretary in-charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh by her brother and party chief Rahul Gandhi on January 23. 

Nasheman News :  Youths from across the country gathered here on Sunday to urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi to launch a Pradhan Mantri CHEAT Fund Yojna for job aspiring youths who cannot afford the high cost of buying a leaked paper.

The meet, in which over 60 youth representatives from across the country participated, was organised at Delhi’s Constitution Club by Yuva-Hallabol to highlight the frustration and disappointment among the educated unemployed youth.

Yuva-Hallabol is a nationwide movement against unemployment that includes aspirants to the SSC, UPSC, state agencies, railways, police and teachers.

Yuva-Hallabol, in its letter to Modi, mentioned: “Today, we write to you with a lot of pain and hope. We want to serve the nation too. We are educated and skilled. There are over 24 lakh vacancies in government sectors. Yet we are not able to secure a job.”

“One of the major reasons we are not getting a job is the wide-spread corruption and irregularity in recruitment exams. Just over the past year, more than two dozen exam papers have leaked,” the letter read.

“Please announce and launch a Pradhan Mantri CHEAT Fund Yojna, PMCFY for the job aspiring youth who cannot afford the high costs of buying a leaked paper. It would be very helpful if you implement this welfare scheme with immediate effect,” it said.

“We will apply for a loan to buy leaked papers and secure the jobs. Once we get a job, we give you 100 per cent guarantee that we repay all the money loaned by the government,” Yuva-Hallabol said in the letter.

Yuva-Hallabol leader Anupam told media: “…the educated unemployment rate has reached 16 per cent, the unemployed youth are ready to expose the failures and hollow claims of this government.”

The government has also been urged to implement a Model Exam Code to ensure all recruitment processes are completed within a time-frame of 9 months.

Yuva-Hallabol also requested Modi to respond to their situation, and the letter, by February 27.
