Kharge asks Centre to release Rs 18,171 crore for Karnataka drought relief
Wednesday, 6 December 2023 Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, urged the Central government to release Rs 18,171 crore from the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) for Karnataka, which is facing severe drought. The state has suffered the most severe drought in 123 years, causing an estimated Rs 35,162 crore worth of damage to crops. Kharge emphasized the urgent need for financial support to provide input subsidies, relief measures, and address the low rainfall situation. He also highlighted the alarmingly low water levels in reservoirs and the impending shortage of drinking water.
Urdu proficiency is now mandatory for Anganwadi teacher applicants in Mudigere and Chikkamagaluru districts, as per a notification by Karnataka's Congress government. The BJP criticized this requirement, accusing the Congress of engaging in appeasement politics. The issue gained attention after the Department of Women and Child Welfare issued an official order mandating Urdu knowledge for candidates in these districts. This directive has sparked a political debate.

In a state like Karnataka, where language has been a deeply emotional issue, the recent mandate by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government to make proficiency in Urdu a criterion for Anganwadi teachers in Mudigere and Chikkamagaluru has stirred a fresh wave of controversy.
The decision, which has already sparked protests and political outcry, not only threatens to alienate a section of the state's population but also risks further damaging the delicate social fabric of Karnataka.
