Ramanagaram, Apr 6: In an apparent attempt to lure journalists ahead of Karnataka assembly polls, a leader of Janata Dal (Secular) on Friday promised sites for media persons if the party state president H D Kumaraswamy becomes chief minister.

Speaking at a press meet, Rajashekhar, JD(S) taluk unit president, said that plan to allot sites to local journalists was pending for quite a while and the assurance would be fulfilled if Kumaraswamy was elected from Ramanagaram constituency and becomes chief minister. 

Other party leaders with him were shocked by his blooper. Rajshekar tried to correct himself later, but the damage had been done. He said that Kumaraswamy would contest from both Ramanagaram and Chennapatna and would resign from the Chennapatna seat if he wins in both constituencies. Even this remark, embarrassed other leaders there.

Bengaluru, May 29: The Karnataka government has requested the Civil Aviation Ministry to reduce the number of flights, emanating from Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan to the state in view of the high number of Covid-19 Cases prevalent there.

In a clarification issued to the Media this evening, the Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Mr J C Madhuswamy has said that Karnataka has not sought for imposing a ban on flights emanating from these places, as reported in some sections of the Media.

Karnataka has appealed to the Civil Aviation Ministry to take steps to lessen the air traffic to the State, with the sacred intention that there may not be adequate quarantine facilities if there is huge turnout at a short period, he added.
