Bengaluru, Dec 29: More than a decade after he was expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), Congress leader and Karnataka State Planning Commission vice-chairman C M Ibrahim is reportedly making preparations to return to the former prime minister H D Deve Gowda led party.

cmiMr Ibrahim, who has a history of party hopping, has been constantly criticising chief minister Siddaramaiah since last year and many a times openly praised the JD(S) supremo.

Interestingly, Mr Ibrahim has close friendship with Mangaluru-bsed industrialist B M Farooq, who was recently made JD(S) chief general secretary. On the other hand, JD(S) also trying to bring in someMuslim faces' after taking action against rebel Muslim MLAs Zameer Ahmed Khan and Iqbal Ansari.

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Ibrahim, who had won the trust of Deve Gowda after migrating to erstwhile Janata Dal from Congress party decades ago, had began criticising him before being expelled from the JD(S) along with Siddaramaiah in 2005.

Even though Siddaramaiah joined Congress soon, Mr Ibrahim joined the party in 2008. Later, Mr Ibrahim emerged as a confidante of Siddaramaiah and the latter, after becoming the chief minister of Karnataka, did not hesitate to give the former the coveted post of the vice-chairman of Planning Commission in spite of severe opposition from several party leaders.

Mr. Ibrahim, who first became an MLA in 1978 on the Janata Party ticket, joined the Congress in 1980 and became the Labour Minister in the R Gundu Rao ministry. He was then known as the 'right hand' of Gundu Rao. After Gundu Rao asked Mr Ibrahim to quit the ministry over corruption allegation, the latter had distanced himself from the Congress and gradually became close to Deve Gowda.

After years of political hibernation, he joined the Janata Dal in the 1990s and became its president. He was the Union Civil Aviation Minister in the Deve Gowda ministry. Mr Ibrahim is known for his oratory and public speeches as he enjoys command over Kannada and many other regional languages.

First of all he is an opportunist politician, giving big speeches not enough, he is not a minority leader nor a minority face. Chief Minister given a very good post for him even though he has not won any assembly seat! All minority community is not behind him. If BJP or Sangh Parivar offer him better post, he will not hesitate to join.

C.M.Ibrahim is not a influential minority leader. He is a opportunist. It is better congress to sack him from the party. He is an liability to any political party. He is a devotee of Pejawar mutt and Siddaganga mutt. He is a name sake Muslim. He tried to re introduce the lottery system.

Bengaluru, Mar 30: Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (CDEL) has received the first tranche of Rs 2,000 crore following disinvestment of Global Village Techparks to repay debts following the death of its founder V G Siddhartha.
In August last year, CDEL executed definitive agreements with entities belonging to Blackstone Group and Salarpuria Sattva Group for investment in GV Techparks, a wholly-owned subsidiary of group company Tanglin Development Ltd (TDL), at an enterprise value of Rs 2,700 crore.
The balance amount is expected to be received after the receipt of few statutory approvals, CDEL said in a statement.
"Out of the money received in first tranche, the company has paid off its debts in full including principal and interest amounting to Rs 1,644 crore to the lenders despite difficult economic conditions," it said.
Post this payment, the consolidated debt of the company and its subsidiaries stands at Rs 3,200 crore as on March 27. This includes debt of Rs 1,400 crore of its subsidiary Sical Logistics Ltd where disinvestment process is in progress.
"The company and subsidiaries have repaid around Rs 4,000 crore to the lenders since the beginning of this financial year," CDEL said.
"With the continuous support of stakeholders of the company, the current management is working to ensure better liquidity and operational efficiency. The company is confident of the future ahead despite various challenges," it added.
The company has been in rough waters after its founder V G Siddhartha took his own life as debt strains began to emerge in his company. Since his death in July last year, CDEL has been trying to divest its assets to pare debts.
On July 30, 2019, CDEL informed stock exchanges about Siddhartha's disappearance. In a letter that was purportedly written by him, the Cafe Coffee Day founder said: "I could not take any more pressure from one of the private equity partners forcing me to buy back shares."

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.
