Udupi, Jan 24: Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister for Human Resources Development, has predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would win all seats of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts and come to power in Karnataka with a two-thirds majority.

Addressing a meeting of the heads of various units of the BJP here on Tuesday, he said that the people were fed up with the four-and-a-half years rule of the Congress in the State. The Congress had got associated with corruption, hypocrisy and family. It was only the BJP which could give good governance in the State under the leadership of the former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa.

He said, the BJP already had 19 States under its rule in the country. The only big State under the Congress was Karnataka. People were impressed by the leadership provided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the country. It was Mr. Modi who had given an impetus to the economy of the country.

He said that during the Congress rule, the transfer of IAS and IPS officers had become routine. The latest was that of the transfer of the Superintendent of Police of Dakshina Kannada Sudheer Kumar Reddy C.H. and Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri Dasari from Hassan despite public demand to retain them.

He said that it was unusual to effect so many transfers especially when the elections were nearing.

The Congress had little to solve the problem of sand shortage. While sand was available at Rs. 3,000 per truckload during Mr. Yeddyurappa’s rule, it was now being sold at Rs. 18,000 per truckload.

He said that the Goa government and its Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had wanted to resolve the Mahadayi water dispute, but it was the intransigent attitude of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah that was responsible for the breakdown in talks. The Congress MLAs in Goa too were opposed to a resolution of the dispute.

He said, over 20 activists of the Sangh Parivar had been murdered during the last four-and-a-half years, but no action had been taken. The withdrawal of cases against the Social Democratic Party of India, the Popular Front of India and the Karnataka Forum for Dignity was the reason for the murders, he said.

Though silt had accumulated in the dams at Baje and Shiroor in Udupi district, the State government had done little or nothing to remove it. With the result, the farmers were affected by it. But the Congress, an “anti-farmer party,” was least bothered about it, Mr. Javadekar said.

Bengaluru, Jan 8: Accusing the BJP of running a "fake news factory" at full potential, former chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said according to reports only Rs 669 crore of additional flood relief funds are being released by the Centre for the state as opposed to the ruling party's claim of Rs 1,869.85 crore.

Reacting to his attack, the State BJP unit, without clarifying on the actuals of the amount being released, said it believed in speaking the truth and not spreading lies.

Siddaramaiah, leader of the opposition in the state assembly, tweeted: "Reports from State govt officials tells that only Rs 669 crore of addl funds (sic) are released in 2nd instalment as opposed to the claim of Rs 1870 Cr by @BJP4Karnataka leaders. At a time when manufacturing industries are closing, BJP's fake news factory is running at full potential!!"

Calling BJP leaders "devotees of the God of lies," he said in another tweet that Prime Minister Narendra Modi released an additional Rs 669.85 crore moved by Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa's plea, taking the total amount to Rs 1,869.85 crore. He said it was funny that they were attempting to depict the total relief amount as 1200+1869.85 equalling to Rs 3,069.85 crore.

Siddaramiahs tweet was in response to Karnataka BJPs tweet last night claiming that the High-Level Committee (HLC) Chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah has approved the release of Rs 1869.85 crore as central assistance to the state towards flood relief. This was in addition to Rs 1200 crore already released by the Centre in October 2019, the BJP unit had said.

On Monday, the HLC had approved additional central assistance to seven states affected by floods last year, from National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF), including Karnataka.

While a PIB release states that Rs 1869.85 crore was approved for Karnataka, according to sources in the state government the figure was inclusive of Rs 1,200 crore released in October. Earlier in the day, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa while expressing confidence that more funds will be released in later stages, maintained that Rs 1869 crore has been released in addition to Rs 1,200 crore earlier, and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"...funds will never be enough, they (central government) will release in stages, they have released such big amount- earlier Rs 1200 crore, now again Rs 1869 crore- I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for it," he told reporters here.

Revenue Minister R Ashoka said the state government will press for more funds in the days to come, and the state government will fulfil promises made to those hit by floods.

Karnataka faced two spells of unprecedented rains and floods last year, resulting in widespread damage to life and property, following which the state government had submitted a report to the centre claiming loss was to the tune of about Rs 38,000 crore.

Reacting to Siddaramaiah's attack of "fake news factory" against it, the state BJP tweeted "Ayyo @siddaramaiah Avare, We surrender to You as we are incapable of running Fake News Factory like You or @INCIndia.

We believe in speaking the Truth like Gandhiji, not spreading lies like Goebbels. Kannadigas still remember the "Lies Bhagya (a scheme)" you gave them as CM from 2013-18."

New Delhi, Jun 9: Elections to seven seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council will be held on June 29, the poll panel announced on Tuesday.

The seven seats are falling vacant on June 30, according to an Election Commission statement.

Members of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly will vote on June 29 to elect the seven new MLCs.

The Commission has directed the Karnataka chief secretary to depute a senior officer to ensure that the  instructions regarding COVID-19 containment measures are complied with during the elections.

The counting of votes will be held on the evening of June 29 after completion of polls, as per practice.

The notification for the elections will be issued on June 11, the statement said.

MLCs are usually elected by four types of electors -- MLAs, Graduates, Teachers and members of local authorities.

On Monday, the Commission had deferred elections to four seats of the Karnataka Legislative Council -- two each from Teachers and Graduate constituencies -- falling vacant on June 30 due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

"If MLAs are electors, the size of the electorate is small and the assembly building is the only polling station. When the electorate is teachers or graduates, the number of those who can vote is higher.

Due to the virus, Commission only allowed polls to seats where MLAs are the electors to prevent large gatherings," explained a senior EC functionary.
