There has been a lot of discussions regarding the government in the state of Karnataka. Recently, BJP Karnataka president, Nalin Kumar Kateel, speaking to party workers in Dakshina Kannada said,  “I told the Commissioner of Police yesterday that we should shut down all pubs in the district. It's ruining youngsters." Till now, his comment has not received support either from the district administration in Dakshina Kannada or the BJP government in the state. “In our time we stopped the operation of clubs. If the government doesn't take a decision, I'll urge the youth wing to take appropriate legal action,” Kateel added after getting applauded from his audience.

Sources of a leading media daily spoke to the close ones in the Karnataka CM’s office, on whether the demand made by Kateel on the closure of pubs in the coastal city is being considered or not. There has been no such formal request, the reports further said. The source also confirmed that the CM has not even considered the closure of pubs in Mangaluru or elsewhere in the state. After Unlock 4, the Karnataka government has allowed restaurants, pubs and bars to reopen with precautionary measures.

Karnataka CM Yediyurappa gave this statement in regard to his son

Kateel is no stranger to controversies and openly wears his Hindutva brand of politics on his sleeves. Ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he had said, “Nathuram Godse had killed only one person- Mahatma Gandhi. Former Prime Minister Rajeev Gandhi had killed 17,000.” But despite this, months later, he was promoted from an MP to Karnataka BJP President, replacing BS Yediyurappa.
