Another blow to HDK govt as suspended Cong MLA Roshan Baig resigns

Bengaluru, Jul 9: The Congress-JD(S) coalition government in Karnataka Wednesday suffered another blow following the resignation of Shivajinagar Congress MLA R Roshan Baig.

"Today I have submitted my resignation from the Karnataka Assembly to the Speaker," Baig told reporters at Vidhana Soudha after coming out of the office of Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar.

The suspended Congress MLA made it clear he would not fly to Mumbai or Delhi, unlike the other disgruntled MLAs who have camped in a Mumbai hotel.

"I am not going to Mumbai or Delhi. Being the chairman of the State Hajj committee, I am going to the airport to oversee arrangements for the Hajj pilgrims," Baig said.

To a question as to whether his party colleagues spoke to him, Baig said, "They said 'hello' to me. That's it."

The MLA was suspended from Congress for his alleged anti-party activities as he had rebelled against the party leaders.

A minister in the previous Congress government, Baig had held the party functionaries, specifically former chief minister Siddaramaiah, Congress general secretary K C Venugopal and Karnataka Congress president Dinesh Gundu Rao responsible for the party's poor show in the Lok Sabha elections in the state.

So far 14 MLAs have resigned, which includes 11 from the Congress and three from the JD(S).

If accepted, the coalition government's strength in the assembly would be reduced to 102 minus the Speaker against the halfway mark of 113. On the other hand, BJP's strength as of now stands at 107.

Commenting on Baig's resignation, Siddaramaiah said his resignation was also anti-party.

"His resignation is also against the party. I appeal to all those who have resigned to come back and not fall prey to BJP's designs," Siddaramaiah told reporters while staging a demonstration near the Mahatma Gandhi statue here against the BJP's alleged attempts to destabilise the coalition government.

Shame on your Evil Baig for placing yourself on sale for money.   You have betrayed people of karnataka in general and Muslims in particular.   You are supporting and / or plannning to join enmies of Muslims.  How much you will receiving for selling your Iman.  How long will you live in this world.  Dont you know that death is sure.   YOu are supporting and/or joining a party which is supporting the murderers of Muslims / Dalits / minorities.  What a shame.

Mangaluru, Jul 21: Private hospitals cannot send back COVID-19 patients for any reason, district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said on Monday.

The Minister was addressing a meeting at the Father Muller Medical College here on the arrangements made for COVID-19 patients.

Dakshina Kannada district is quite advanced in the medical field. Hence, the government will not tolerate COVID-19 patients wandering from one hospital to another for treatment. Refusing to admit COVID-19 patients in hospitals is unacceptable, he warned.
