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?

Dubai, Apr 14: Around 2,500 Indians have approached Indian missions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) seeking help to be flown home during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown, top diplomats have said.

The Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Indian Consulate in Dubai together have received requests from "a little more than 1,000 individuals" while the latter has received an additional request from an employer who has laid-off around 1,000 Indian workers, reports Gulf News on Monday.

According to the Indian Ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor, the missions have not been bombarded with mass requests from the people who wish to take an immediate flight home unlike widespread reports on social media.

Most of the individuals who have expressed their interest to return home are visitors and those who lost their jobs, he told Gulf News.

Consul General of India in Dubai, Vipul said his mission had received nearly 1000 requests via email and phone from people who want to return home.

"A majority of them are visit visa holders. On Sunday, we got information about another large group of around 1,000 Indian workers who have lost jobs. The employer has got in touch to know the options to send them back home as early as possible," he told Gulf News.

However, the diplomatic heads refuted unverified reports that claim tens of thousands of Indians were scrambling to fly home during the pandemic.

They added that the missions have been aiding hundreds of workers, who have been left in the lurch by their employers, with provisions.

The Indian government had said that flight services cannot be resumed during the lockdown period, which has now been extended till May 3.
