Responding to queries of media persons in the city on Tuesday Mr Khader said that he was deeply hurt by Mr Poojary's comment blaming the State government and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for the police action against agitating farmers in Navalgund.

Mr Khader said that the State government and the Chief Minister are not at fault with regard to the interim order of the tribunal. “It is because of the Union government that the interim order went against us,” he alleged.

“Mr. Poojary's shouldn't have said that the State government and Mr. Siddaramaiah will suffer for police “excesses” on farmers agitating against the interim order of Mahadayi Water Tribunal.

“Why we should suffer for the fault of union government? Our CM is yet to come out of grief for the loss of his son. It is sad to hear such words from a senior leader,” he lamented.

Moreover, Mr. Khader said, when the decision of the tribunal came, Mr. Siddaramaiah was attending to his ailing son in Belgium, who ultimately passed away.

Mr. Khader said that farmers staged a protest in Navalgund. Some anti-social elements who joined the protest set court records on fire and threw stones at some public buildings for which the police took action. There have been some “excesses” by the police for which Home Minister G. Parameshwara has expressed regret. The Chief Minister has ensured that farmers against whom cases were registered obtained bail.

Claiming to be unaware of the directive of District Congress unit chief asking Mr. Poojary not to hold press meetings at the party office, Mr. Khader said that Mr. Poojary was among the three Congress leaders who have built the party in the region since 1980.

“It is because of Mr. Poojary that we have our party office in Hampankatta,” he said. Mr. Poojary was just advising the party and his statements cannot be construed as anti-party activity, Mr. Khader said.

Bengaluru, Jun 27: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Saturday emphasised on giving a new dimension to the city by strengthening the infrastructure and improving various other sectors including health and housing.

He was speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of the 108-feet-tall bronze statue of Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bengaluru, at the Kempegowda International Airport near here. The statue would be built at a cost of Rs 66 crore in one-and-half years.

Yediyurappa said Bengaluru has earned the fame of Garden City and Silicon Valley of India. Noting that the state capital was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world and internationally acclaimed hub of information technology and biotechnology, he said, "We need to give a new dimension to this city and strengthen the infrastructure. We have to focus on health, housing, pollution control, traffic management. Our government has taken various measures to develop the city," the chief minister said.

On Kempe Gowda, Yediyurappa said though the city did not have a perennial river, he built hundreds of lakes and interconnected them. His water management reflects on his foresightedness, he added.

"Kempambudhi, Dharmambudhi, Sampaniram and Halasuru lake are among the major lakes gifted to the people of Bengaluru. He had set up the markets called Chickpet, Akkipet, Balepet, Kumbarpet, are still the major trade hubs," Yediyurappa said.

Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, Union Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi, deputy chief ministers Govind Karjol, Dr C N Ashwath Narayan, Laxman Savadi and many other ministers were present on the occasion. The event was organised on the 511th birth anniversary of Kempe Gowda. Kempe Gowda was a chieftain of Vijayanagara dynasty who founded Bengaluru around 550 years ago.
