Mangaluru, Jul 25: Congress leader and Minister for Forest, Ecology and?Environment, B Ramanath Rai questioned the double standards of?BJP which is keeping mum over Chikkamagaluru DySP Kallappa Handibag's suicide, while it disturbed the legislature session over Mangaluru DySP M K Ganapathi's suicide.

“It is a deliberate act on the part of BJP as a Bajrang Dal leader is involved in it,” he claimed.

Launching a tirade against BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA)?government at the Centre, Congress leader B Ramanath Rai said: “BJP,?Sangh Parivar and other like-minded organisations indulge in vandalism in the name of protecting cattle.?Dalits, minorities and backward classes are being victimised.”

Rai also said many leaders in BJP, including State unit president B?S?Yeddyurappa, former ministers M?P?Renukacharya and V?Somanna, are facing many cases. “Several officers have quit jobs due to pressure in the Centre,” he criticised.

Mr Rai said he will speak to the deputy commissioner over the travails of school and college students in remote areas following the indefinite strike call given by Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) unions.

Answering to a question in this regard, Rai said, “As the issue has been brought to my notice, I will speak to the deputy commissioner. It is the prerogative of the deputy commissioner to take a decision about declaring holidays to educational institutions (barring?Dakshina Kannada and Chamarajanagar districts, holiday has been declared for two days in the wake of strike).”

Rai, who is also a former transport minister, said, the chief minister will decide about the demands put forth by?KSRTC and other trade unions.

Bengaluru, Apr 1: The price of petrol and diesel will go up by Rs 1.60 and Rs 1.59 per litre, respectively, from Wednesday. This is in line with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa’s decision to hike the rate of tax on petrol from 32% to 35% and diesel from 21% to 24%.

He had announced this in his March 5 Budget for 2020-21 fiscal. At present, a litre of petrol costs Rs 71.97 and diesel Rs 64.41 in Bengaluru.

The government decided to roll out the hike from Tuesday midnight going into Wednesday, April 1, after briefly considering a postponement in view of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Finance Secretary (Budget & Resources) Ekroop Caur confirmed to DH that the hike will be rolled out. 

The 3% hike on fuel tax was a key resource mobilisation measure that Yediyurappa announced in his Budget. The hike is expected to fetch the government Rs 1,500 crore. 

Yediyurappa had also announced a 6% additional excise duty on Indian Made Liquor (IML), which could help the government mop up Rs 1,200 crore. However, the sale of liquor has been prohibited during the lockdown period. Plus, hiking fuel prices during the lockdown will not hit citizens very hard.
