Chitradurga, Sept 25: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has hit back at the leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, K S Eshwarappa for the latter’s “Dasaiahs” remark.

Eshwarappa, while speaking to reporters at Shivamogga on Saturday had said that the chief minister was seeking votes like a “Dasaiah.” The word refers to a person who collects alms from people.

“Politicians are always like Dasaiah as they seek votes from people. Eshwarappa does not know this. He has no common sense and hence he is making foolish statements,” Siddaramaiah said on Sunday.

He was speaking to reporters at Sirigere near Chitradurga. He was in Sirigere to take part in the 25th death anniversary of Taralabalu Shivakumara Swami.

Replying to a question on the participation of ministers in the convention for a separate Lingayat religion, the chief minister said that his Cabinet colleagues were acting in their individual capacity. “Taking part in such convention is left to their discretion. I will not prevent them from that,” he said.

Bengaluru, May 26: Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa has been urged to cancel the proposed SSLC examinations in Karnataka and allow “mass-pass” for every student in the wake of covid-19 crisis. A group of intellectuals and educationists have put forth this demand.

In the letter released by educationist VP Niranjan Aradhya, said that they were listing the scientific reasons to the CM for cancellation of exams which are slated to be held from June 25 to July 4th.

In the letter, the intellectuals have elucidated a number of reasons for cancelling the upcoming exams. “There are close to 8.5 lakh students and 2.5 lakh staff involved. If we include parents who would drop their kids at the exam centre, around 30 lakh people will be involved in the process, making it a risky affair. Though the government has said that it will separate the students with fever or other ailments, will students admit to having fever? What if they consume paracetamol and come to write exams?” asks the letter. 

Added to this, the question papers have to be sent from the district and taluk centres and there may be chances of transmission.

“Even if we conduct exams, then what about the students who have failed? Every year, around 2.5 lakh students fail in the exam. Will the government conduct the supplementary exams again? The whole process of conducting exams comes at a huge cost of Rs 20 cr to Rs 25 crore. Hence, we are suggesting that the government cancels the exams and pass the entire group of student en masse,” said the letter.
