Bengaluru, Feb 6: Congress leader and MLC C M Ibrahim on Monday took objection to identifying departed political leaders by their caste and religion while paying tribute in the Legislative Council.

Taking exception to referring Mukhtar-unnisa Begum, former MLA, as a minority leader in the obituary reference, he said it was not right to restrict social and political leaders to a particular caste and religion, as they were representatives of society.

The leaders in the two Houses of the State legislature paid rich tributes to former Assembly members Nagappa, Mukhtar Unnisa Begum, R. Narayanappa, Kumar Gowda Patil, Prahlad Remani, and U.M. Madappa.

Acknowledging the opinion of Mr. Ibrahim, Council Chairman D.H. Shankaramurthy said his suggestions would be incorporated in the coming days.

Mukhtar-unnisa Begum, who passed away on November 11, 2017 at the age of 82, was the first Muslim women MLA from South India.

Mysuru, Jan 27: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday refused to field questions on the state’s finances, merely saying his budget on March 5 will do the talking. The question came in the wake of Siddaramaiah, leader of the opposition, claiming recently that the state’s coffers were dry and its finances were in the doldrums.

However, Yediyurappa insisted the state’s finances were sound and it will be better once promises made by the business community during his trip to Davos turn into concrete investment.

“I will present the budget for 2020-21 on March 5. People will then know about the state’s financial position,” Yediyurappa said during a visit to Suttur Mutt on Sunday. “I will answer Siddaramaiah’s comments during the forthcoming budget session of the state legislature. The Davos meet I attended will benefit the state immensely. It will bring huge investments that will promote industry and agriculture growth and various job-generation activities.”
