Full budget row: CM finds support in deputy, DKS

Bengaluru, Jun 18: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah’s disagreement over a new full-budget for 2018-19 has not only upset Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, it has also discomfited his own party colleagues, forcing them to take sides.

On Sunday, Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara and cabinet colleague D K Shivakumar indirectly batted for Kumaraswamy, by saying they were uncertain about the intent behind Siddaramaiah’s remarks.

Siddaramaiah had, on Saturday, had taken exception to Kumaraswamy’s budget plan by stating there was no need for a new budget and that the chief minister could announce his new programmes through a supplementary budget.

Kumaraswamy had countered it, saying it had been a practice for a new government to present a full budget.

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Parameshwara seconded Kumaraswamy’s opinion.

“It’s a common practice for new governments to evolve their own programmes and announce the same in the budget. I’m not sure in what context Siddaramaiah made such a statement,” he said.

Reiterating that the coordination committee had decided to continue all programmes/welfare schemes of the previous Congress regime, Parameshwara said, “Efforts are on to combine the old and new proposals. A drafting committee for preparing the common minimum programme has been set up. The committee will submit its report to the co-ordination committee in the next 10 days. Until then, no decision will be taken.”

HDK trying to do farsighted things. He seeks Rahul's advise for dumping siddu's words. HDK started to play

I watched Siddu's response. Such a humiliating statement. He completely ignoring HDK. Siddu not considering him as CM

Will protest if Indian Muslims are troubled by NRC, says Ramdev

News Network

January 30,2020

Hubballi, Jan 30: Seeking to disabuse people of the notion that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), recently passed by the BJP-led central government threatened the legitimacy of Muslims in the country, yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Wednesday said that he would among the first to take to the streets should the community face any such trouble. “If the National Register of Citizens (NRC) threatens injustice to Indian Muslims, it I not just I, but a billion Indians will protest against its implementation,” he added.

Recalling his longstanding association with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ramdev said, “I have known Modi for more than 15 years, and I can assure you that he cannot be called anti-Muslim. There is nothing in the CAA that threatens the rights of Muslims, some of whom are being misled by a few.”

The yoga guru said that, while 99% of the Muslims in India were patriotic, the remaining ones were seeking to divide the country, which he said was resulting in Islam falling into disgrace. “I appeal to all Muslims to keep away from such anti-national forces seeking to bring a bad name to Islam,” said Ramdev, calling on the people to stay united in the face of the severe economic crisis that the country was presently in the grips of.

He added that he was as committed to his goal of getting black money back to India. However, when quizzed by journalists as to how long he was willing to wait for PM Modi to realise this objective, Ramdev said, “Chodi, mere aur Modi ke beech jagada mat lao (Please do not incite a fight between Modi and me).”

The yoga guru also endorsed the decision of the Centre to recognise singer Adnan Sami with a Padma award.

Meet Shifali Saldanha, Namma Kudla’s new beauty queen

coastaldigest.com news network

January 6,2020

She is one of a few beauty queens who give equal importance to both modelling and academic growth. Within months after completing her MBA in Finance and HR, Shifali Saldanha won Miss India Continent 2019 first runner-up and Miss Glory of International 2019 held in Mumbai.

An alumna of St Aloysius College (AIMIT), this 23-year-old Mangalurean is now a much sought after budding model. “I am enjoying the moment and would like to go with the flow,” says the much-loved daughter of Stephen Saldanha and late Anupama Saldanha.

Over the course of past two years, Ms Saldanha has experienced various nerve-wracking moments. She was shattered when her beloved mother lost battle with cancer and bid adieu to the world a couple of years ago. Yet, she serenely braved all the challenges. Her ‘never give up’ attitude helped her to scale new heights amidst misfortunes and pains.

Speaking to coastaldigest.com about her success in Miss India Continent 2019, which was organised by Dr Mahesh Yadav of Aman Gandhi Film Productions, Ms Saldanha said 15 contestants from different parts of the country were shortlisted for the finale, which had five diverse rounds.

“The meet and greet session was my favourite phase in the competition as it was an opportunity to interact with the participants from different parts of the country,” recalls the multi-talented, who dreams big.

The leggy lass’ success wasn’t accidental one. A trained singer and multilingual anchor, Ms Saldanha was already a known figure in coastal Karnataka. She had won the titles Miss Karnataka International- Multimedia 2018, and Miss Beautiful Eyes Mangaluru 2018.

Being a moderate feminist, who carries a go-getter attitude, Ms Saldanha calls upon every woman to be optimistic, challenging and goal-focused.
