BJP offering our MLAs billions of rupees; where is I-T department now: HDK

Bengaluru, May 16: Probable chief minister candidate of the Congress Party-Janata Dal (Secular) alliance, H.D. Kumaraswamy, on Wednesday stated that his decision to accept the alliance was to remove the black spot from his father, former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda’s career.

“I have been presented with offers from both sides; I am not saying this loosely. There’s a black spot on my father’s career because of my decision to go with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2004 and 2005. Now, god has given me an opportunity to remove this black spot, therefore, I am going with the Congress,” he said while addressing a press conference here.

Responding to a question on meeting BJP state in-charge Prakash Javadekar, Kumaraswamy dodged the question, saying “Who is Javadekar? Who is that gentleman?”

Lashing out at the alleged bribing of JD(S) MLAs, Kumaraswamy questioned why no inquiry was being conducted by the income tax department on the source of the cash being offered.

“JD(S) MLAs are being offered Rs.100 crore each. Where is this black money coming from? They (BJP) are supposedly the servers of poor people, and they are offering money today. Where are the income tax officials?” he asked.

Amid allegations of BJP attempting to poach MLAs of his party, Kumaraswamy stated that the same would be done by him as well in retaliation.

“Forget ‘Operation Kamal’ being successful; there are people who are ready to leave the BJP and come with us. If you try to poach one (leader) from ours, we’ll do the same and take double from you. I’m also telling the Governor to not take any decision which encourages horse-trading,” said Kumaraswamy.

Earlier in the day, the JD(S) in its meeting chose Kumaraswamy unanimously as the leader of the legislative party leader.

Results of the Karnataka Assembly polls announced on Tuesday evening showed that the BJP won 104 seats, emerging as the single largest party, while the Congress and JD (S) bagged 78 and 37 seats, respectively.

Soon after, the Congress announced that it would support the JD (S), taking their total seat share to 117, thus resulting in a fractured mandate.

As the results of the poll in the state have left the assembly in hung, the final decision will be taken by the Governor, Vajubhai Rudabhai Vala.

Only the solution is people who elected such dishonest MLA should be tortured and distroyed  also the buying party leaders should face the same punishment, without any mercy. If few incidents take place, nobody will dare to do devil trading. It is not just horse trading.

 

May God help.

These things are happening and continuing as long as there is no any law to stop such betrayals.

 

This is a big betrayal.

1. First of all the law should not allow them to do so as they are contesting on behalf of a party. Such MLA or MPs should not have individual power to do so rather than it should be decided by their party.

 

2. In case there is no such law to restrict them as  present situation, then it is the right of the people to punish such MLA/MPs. Because these people are cheating the voters who elected them. Such people should  face death sentence. The receiving party also equally responsible for such mulpractices. They should also be severly punished by death sentence by the people until the effective law is made and implemented.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.

Mysuru, May 1: Four people who brought a dead man’s body from Mumbai for cremation in his native place in Mandya district in Karnataka have tested positive for Covid-19 virus, and now the administration is trying to find out if the man himself had been an undetected positive.

According to Mandya district deputy commissioner M V Venkatesh, the deceased man was a 53-year-old native of B Kodagalli of Pandavapura taluk, Melkote hobli in Mandya district. He died after suffering a heart attack at the U N Desai government hospital in Mumbai on April 23.

The cremation took place outside the man's native village after the local administration refused to allow it inside the village.

Wanting the final rites performed in his native place, the man’s family got the body embalmed and procured all the medical records and certificates from the hospital and brought it in an ambulance belonging to the Desai government hospital.

When they reached Pandavapura taluk in Karnataka on the evening of April 24, the local administration did not allow the body to enter the village but allowed the relatives to cremate it outside the village.

And since the family had come from Mumbai, the district administration quarantined all seven of the man’s relatives, and their samples were sent for testing on 28 April.

The results showed that the deceased man’s 25-year-old son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and two-year-old grandchild are positive for Covid 19. All of them have been admitted at the Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences although they have no symptoms.

Deputy commissioner Venkatesh said that in the Desai hospital records in Mumbai there was no mention whether or not the man had been tested for Covid-19. “We are writing to Desai hospital to clarify if the deceased person was tested for Covid 19. It is also possible that the family got infected by the man’s son who works in the loan department of ICICI Bank in Mumbai and visits several offices in different areas of Mumbai,” he said.

The man’s ancestral B Kodagalli village now has been sealed off. Though tests done on other members of the family have come back negative, the Mandya administartions plans to repeat their tests.

So far 26 people have tested positive for Covid 19 in Mandya district.
