Karnataka, May 23: After swearing in as Karnataka's 24th chief minister, H.D. Kumaraswamy assured that their coalition government -- Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) -- will run better than any one-party government.

Addressing a press conference here as chief minister, Kumaraswamy said, "This coalition government (Congress-JD(S)) will run better than anyone party government and we will concentrate on working for the public."

Kumaraswamy was administered the oath by Governor Vajubhai Vala in a gala ceremony held outside the Vidhan Soudha, the state assembly. Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president G. Parameshwara also took the oath as the state's deputy chief minister.

The ceremony, which was attended by a battery of political dignitaries, including United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Congress President Rahul Gandhi, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, was nothing short of show of unity of the opposition parties, one year ahead of general elections.

Talking about the same, Kumaraswamy said the leaders who came from all over the country wanted to give a message to the nation that "we are one, and, in 2019, there will be a major change in political situation".

"They were not here to protect this government. This government will be protected by local Congress leaders and our leaders," he added.

This is Kumaraswamy's second term as the chief minister of Karnataka since 2007, when he last held the post for 20 months.

Attired in the traditional "dhoti" and white shirt, Kumaraswamy took the oath in the name of God and the people of "Kannada Nadu".

Floor test on May 25

The new Chief Minister told media persons that would take a floor test on May 25th. "I have become a child of circumstances. Many have expressed doubts about the stability of this government. But I will reply to them with my behaviour in future. I will take a floor test on May 25," he said.

"The BJP has accused me of immorality. But if we introspect, I don't know who can claim to be moral and whose moves will be immoral," he said.

"I have myself played a role in bringing down a Congress-JD(S) government in 2006. But that is an old story. This will be a stable government. I assure the people that this will be one of the most stable governments in the State and will work towards solving people's problems," he said.

Mangaluru, July 23: Lavanya Ballal, national co-coordinator for social media department of Indian National Congress, has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of destroying the nation by misleading the youth.

In an interview with a regional Kannada news paper, the Dakshina Kannada based activist, lamented that instead of using social media for the welfare of the nation, BJP leaders used it to spread lies for their political gains. 

On one hand BJP fooled people through false promises and colourful dialogues, while on the other hand it misled crores of youth by spreading fake news, twisted facts and false information, she said.

Ms Ballal went on to accuse BJP of following the footsteps of the British. “BJP is following all the methods employed by the British invaders to divide the people of India and make them hate each other,” she said.

She said that Congress always used the social media for the benefit of the country. If the new generation realises this fact, the country will once again turn its direction towards development, she asserted.
