Bengaluru, Aug 13: BJP National president Amit Shah on Saturday issued a stern warning against factional feuds within the state unit and directed partymen to focus on tackling the ruling Congress on charges of corruption and caste polarisation ommunities in the run up to the assembly election next year.

Shah, who arrived in Bengaluru in the morning on a three-day visit to galvanise the state unit for the polls, cracked the whip on the warring factions and told them to be loyal to the party.

“The party will not tolerate any kind of indiscipline. All the functionaries should toe the party line and should work as one family,” he told the state core committee members comprising senior state unit leaders, including state president B S Yeddyurappa and his bete noire K S Eshwarappa.

Shah refused to entertain backbiting. Eshwarappa’s camp followers had planned to complain against Yeddyurappa’s style of functioning.

‘Don’t worry’

When some state office-bearers sought to know the steps taken to end the feud, Shah said: “We will take care of it, don’t worry. Focus on strengthening the party at booth level.”

He is said to have expressed his strong displeasure at the state leadership for not effectively taking on the state government on corruption.

He was obviously targeting the state BJP for not effectively putting the government on the mat during the Income Tax raids on Energy minister D K Shivakumar recently.

Bengaluru, Apr 21: The Karnataka Government may spare its employees from salary cuts this month despite severe resources crunch it faces following steep fall in revenue collection due to the ongoing lockdown to fight the coronavirus, official sources said on Tuesday.

As of now, there is no problem with April salary and we can manage. But if May also turns out to be a wash-out (in terms of revenue collection), then the situation is going to be very tough, a senior Minister said.

Ministers and members of Karnataka Legislature are taking a 30 per cent pay-cut for a year from April 1 this year. Opposition Congress in the state has vehemently opposed any possible move to cut salaries of government employees.

You just cant even imagine, the Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa had told news agency in an interview earlier this month on the economic impact of the lock-down on the state's finances. Yediyurappa had also said that the government is now not in a position to implement Budget proposals, barring important ones, with all kinds of revenue collections having completely stopped following the lockdown.

The government recently said it proposes to regularise unauthorised properties in the state by imposing penalty, and also auction more than 12,000 corner sites belonging to the Bengaluru Development Authority, as part of resource mobilisation drive.
