A memorial in honour of Appaiah Gowda
He was hanged by the British in Madikeri on October 31, 1837
Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda said on Monday that his government would take steps to initiate the process of development in Kodagu, a land known for its warriors, freedom fighters and natural landscape.
He was addressing a gathering at the Gandhi Maidan here after unveiling a bronze statue of Guddemane Appaiah Gowda at Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa Circle.
Appaiah Gowda was a freedom fighter, who was hanged by the British on charges of sedition on the fort premises here on October 31, 1837.
Mr. Sadananda Gowda’s wife Dotty hailed from Guddemane family. She was also present.
The Chief Minister said that he had taken nearly six months to visit Kodagu as he was being pressured by Madikeri MLA M.P. Appachu Ranjan and Speaker of the Legislative Assembly K.G. Bopaiah to take steps to solve the vexed Jamma Bane issue in Kodagu before the visit.
Responding to the demands made by Mr. Ranjan and M.C. Nanaiah, MLC, Mr. Gowda said that he would take steps to include a proposal to set up a medical college in Kodagu in the next budget.
A sum of Rs. 322 crore had been spent on various development projects such as roads, bridges, and buildings in Kodagu in the past few years. A sum of Rs. 115 crore would be sanctioned to the district in 2011-12, he said.
On considering Mr. Ranjan for inclusion in the next Cabinet expansion, Mr. Gowda said how could he deny it when he himself was the Chief Minister and he was versed with the requirements of Kodagu. All 122 MLAs from the BJP were capable of becoming Ministers, but it was not possible owing to restrictions.
Mr. Gowda, who conducted a progress review meeting involving officers of various departments at the Sudarshan Guesthouse, took exception to the tardy progress in the execution of projects under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in Kodagu. He instructed the officials to speed up work on the projects.
Of the 3,850 projects planned under the scheme in Kodagu, only 508 had been completed, according to officials.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the implementation of drinking water projects in the district, Mr. Gowda directed the officials to complete them in a month.
Of the 235 projects, only 22 had been completed in the current year, the officials stated.
Of the Rs. 8.5 crore earmarked for drinking water schemes in Kodagu in the current year, only Rs. 3.75 crore had been spent. Mr. Gowda announced that he would take the issue of lack of progress in the execution of projects in six departments seriously.
Mr. Gowda and Air Marshal K.C. Cariappa (retd.), son of Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa, paid respects to Field Marshal Cariappa’s statue.

KARBONN SMART KPL: Uthappa powers Bijapur Bulls to victory
Mysuru :
A blitzkrieg by left-hander J. Suchith, who hammered the fastest 50 of KPL, a 15-ball 54 for Mysuru Warriors, was not enough to stop the Bijapur Bulls from bulldozing their way to a convincing seven-wicket win over Mysuru Warriors in the Karbonn Smart KPL 2015 at the SDNR Wadiyar Grounds here yesterday.
Suchith’s blazing knock, studded with three fours and six towering sixes, matched Yusuf Pathan’s 15-ball 50 for Kolkata Knight Riders against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2014 season.
Chasing a target of 167 set by Warriors, Bijapur Bulls were well served by Robin Uthappa (49 n.o, 34 b, 3×4, 2×6) and opener Rajoo Bhatkal (40, 21b, 6×4, 1×6).
The Bulls were cruising along the chase all through with the openers putting on 66 for the first wicket. Then Uthappa took over and in the company of Sunil Raju (23) and M. Nidesh (24 n.o.,) guided the team towards victory. The wins also puts Bijpaur Bulls on top of the table with 11 points from five wins and one washed out contest.
Robin Uthappa was awarded the Man of the Match.
Earlier, Suchith’s knock and new skipper, CM Gautam’s 58 were the highlights of the Mysuru Warriors innings, who became virtually the first team in the league to face bowing out of competition. Taking first strike, the Warriors batsmen showed positives in their approach. There were small and useful partnerships up the order. But unable to step on the run-rate meant the team would finish with a total of a little too few.
But Suchith plundered the last two overs scoring 23 from the 19th and the last five balls of the 20th over, Abhimanyu Mithun was hammered for 24 runs which took the team to 167 from 120 in 18th over.
Seven-wicket win for Bellary Tuskers
In an earlier tie, skipper Bharat Chipli and Amit Vemra batted well to guide Bellary Tuskers register a seven wicket win over Belagavi Panthers.
A match-winning third wicket partnership off 111-runs in 84 balls between skipper Bharat Chipli 63 (54b, 3x4s, 3x6s) and southpaw Amit Verma 52 n.o. (48b, 4x4s, 2x6s), helped Bellary Tuskers to defeat Belagavi Panthers by a seven wicket margin.
Earlier, Belagavi Panthers batting first, began confidently with their openers Abhisek Reddy 35 (34b, 4x4s) and Stalin Hoover 23 (15b, 5x4s) adding 46-runs for the opening wicket in 5.3 overs, but after the fall of Stalin, wickets fell at regular intervals and Belagavi Panthers ended up scoring 136 for seven in 20 overs. R. Jonathan (20) and wicket-keeper bat G.S.Chiranjeevi (20) were the other contributors. Prasanna Patil impressed for Bellary Tuskers with three for 20.
In reply, Bellary Tuskers scored 137 for three in 19.2 overs. After a shaky start (21 for two in 4.2 overs), Bharat Chipli and Amit Verma pulled them out of the woods and helped their team cruise to a comfortable seven wicket win.
