Mangaluru, Jun 1: Rubbishing the reports of chief minister Siddaramaiah warning him over the candidature of his billionaire brother BM Farooq in the Rajya Sabha elections on Janata Dal(Secular) ticket, Mangaluru North MLA BA Mohiuddin Bava said that the CM's remarks were exaggerated by the media.

1bavaSpeaking to media persons here on Wednesday, termed the media reports that Siddaramiah lashed out at him during the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting held in Bengaluru recently as mere figment of imagination.

Mr Bava, however, admitted that being a senior Congress leader, Mr Siddaramaiah asked him to convince Mr. Farooq to withdraw his nomination.

"I had informed the CM about Farook's decision to contest the RS polls. The CM apparently did not take the information then seriously. At that time, the Congress had also not decided on its candidates," he said.

The MLA asserted that his ties with his younger brother are personal and never financial, political or business-related.

He said Mr. Farooq had neither been in politics nor was he a member of any political party. However, he has been friends with the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy for many years. Mr. Farooq is free to pursue his political interests, Mr. Bava said.

At the same time, he would remain a staunch Congressman and would vote for the official candidate of the party in the Rajya Sabha elections, Mr. Bava clarified.

Bengaluru, Mar 3: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Monday introduced the Karnataka Municipalities and Certain Other Law (Amendment) Bill, 2020, in the assembly to give voters the opportunity to reject candidates in civic polls.

The bill, if passed, will enable election officials to offer the NOTA option in the elections to municipal corporations on the lines of assembly and Lok Sabha polls.

An amendment bill which seeks to enable the government to set up a separate university for the districts of Raichur and Yadgir was also tabled. The government said the workload of Gulbarga University necessitated creation of a separate university for the two districts, a move that will also help reduce regional imbalance in Kalyana Karnataka region.

Another amendment bill seeks to allow industrial units, which have failed to start operations on allotted land after seven years, to sell off the parcels to another unit. Bills which empower authorised agencies to regulate turf clubs and horse racing and regulate salary and pension of teachers in higher education institutions were also introduced in the assembly on Monday.
