Hubballi, Dec 25: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has criticised Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde’s statement against secularism and values of Indian constitution. 

Responding to the queries of media persons here on Monday CM said described Hegde as a 'Manuvadi' who lacked respect for the Constitution. "He does not know the political and parliamentary language," Siddaramaiah said.

"Hegde is uncultured. He doesn't know parliamentary or politically-correct language. He is unaware of the country's social systems, and has no respect for the Constitution," said Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

"He (Hegde) speaks anti-secular language. It is impossible to turn a secular country like India into a Hindu Rashtra," Siddaramaiah said.

"In the Constitution, we have said that a secular country will be built. But Hegde speaks against secularists and about changing the Constitution. People of this country have accepted the Constitution, and it cannot be changed as per the wish of casteist persons. People of all religions are Indians and 'Hindu Rashtra' cannot be built, just by glorifying one religion,” he said.

Its a classic irony....

If dalits and OBCs can speak for reservation, why should the upper castes who are victims of reservation not speak against it. This is India. Right to freedom of expression is everyone's fundamental right, not just of dalits

Bengaluru,  Jul 9: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said that he was opposed to a tie-up with Janata Dal-Secular in the last Lok Sabha elections but the party high command did not listen to him.

"I had suggested that we should fight alone (in Lok Sabha elections) because JD-S votes would not have come to us and our votes would not have gone to JD-S," Siddaramaiah told reporters here.

Congress leader said that he was the only one to make the suggestion and he did not get support.

"I was the only one to raise a voice that's why it was not heard by (party) high command and I did not get support. We might have won over seven seats in parliament election if we had fought alone," he said.

After forming government in Karnataka in 2018 with support of JD-S, Congress had fought the 2019 general election in a pre-poll alliance with the party. Congress could only one seat of the 21 it contested and JD-S also won one seat of the seven it contested.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."
