CM has reduced National Congress to Siddaramaiah Congress: H D Devegowda

Belagavi, Aug 19: Janata Dal (Secular) National President H D Devegowda said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has reduced Indian National Congress to being Siddaramaiah Congress and voice of senior leaders of the grand old party has been silenced during his regime in the state.

Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, Gowda said, minus Siddaramaiah there was no voice of Congress party or its senior leaders in the state and none was caring for the party veterans.

He denied commenting on Income Tax raids on Energy Minister D K Shivakumar and alleged that both Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders were not making charges against each other due to the understanding between them. Siddaramaiah has not raised voice against BJP State President B S Yeddyurappa or failures of the party ruling at the centre, nor BJP has spoken against the state government. Both the national parties want to demolish JD(S), but we are prepared to take on both the parties.

Gowda said, Prime Minister Narendra Modi if makes a will could give interim relief to the state regarding the Mahadayi issue that could make drinking water available to the parched towns from North Karnataka region. “Myself raised the issue with Modi, but he chose to remain silent. As a prime minister myself had given the interim award to the state in the year 1996 despite running a 13-party coalition government while final award from Cauvery tribunal came in the year 2007.”

Prime minister should hold talks with the chief ministers concerned and come to the aid of the people, he stated. Gowda also decried the union government for not making funds available for the Mahamastabhisheka at Shravanbelagola despite Jain community voting for the BJP.

Gowdre, with all due respect try advising your party members to bring YOUR party to national level. One of your big mistake is to let go Siddaramiah from your party and now you are jealous.

 

When PM Mozee can make BJP a modi party with fake development, why shouldn't Siddu make a name for himself?

Bengaluru, May 25: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday greeted the Muslim brethren on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, which is being celebrated in a subdued manner due to coronavirus related restrictions.

"Warm greetings of Eid-ul-Fitr. May this festival of peace and harmony bring happiness in life," Yediyurappa said in his message.

He congratulated the Muslim fraternity for cooperating with the authorities by offering prayers at home during the holy month of Ramadan and supporting the government to contain COVID-19.

"I hope the same trend will continue during the festivities of Eid-ul-Fitr too. I thank you all for your support in the fight against COVID-19," he said.

The Eid festivities were a low-key affair as Muslim brethren celebrated the festival indoors in view of lockdown to contain coronavirus on Monday.

People offered the special prayers inside their houses instead of performing it in mosques and Eidgah, the open field to perform prayers, and refrained from going out to greet each other.

As the Karnataka government has ordered Sunday Curfew throughout the lockdown-4 till May 31, the otherwise bustling markets in the urban areas of Karnataka remained shut.

People could not venture out to make necessary purchases on Sunday.

The Jama Masjid of Bengaluru at the City Market had asked the Muslims to offer prayers inside their houses and not go to the burial grounds to express their sentiments for the departed souls.

"Mass prayers are not allowed anywhere in Karnataka. Just five important persons managing the mosques offered the prayers. Similarly, people go to the graveyard to pray for the dead ones but this time we asked people to express their sentiments from inside their homes instead of going to the burial grounds," Maulana Maqsood Imran, the Khateeb-O-Imam, Jama Masjid, Bengaluru, told news agency.

He said, "coronavirus is spreading very rapidly in our country. If we don't follow the guidelines, it will not only cause trouble to us but also to the doctors and the government. It will be the biggest celebration if we abide by the norms."
