Bengaluru, Nov 24: Opposition Leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly B S Yeddyurappa, who is also BJP State President, today demanded Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy to come out with a White Paper on State’s Finance Position.

Terming the achievement of Congress-JDS Coalition Government in the first six months as ‘Zero’, Mr Yeddyurappa, addressing a press conference here on Saturday, said that the Chief Minister, who also holds Finance portfolio, should come out with the white paper since according to some Congress Legislators themselves this Government was yet to 'take off' and developmental activities had come to standstill.

“Let it be known to the public about achievement and implementation of various programmes since April to October. According to statistics available with us, supplied by the Government, the achievements in many departments is 'big zero’ ,” he added.

The former Chief Minister alleged that funds released by the Centre for the welfare of the Backward Classes, SC/ST communities have not been utilized fully. “The much publicised farm loan waiver is yet to be implemented even after three months, while farmers suicide is continuing and it is taking place every day,” he added.

Bengaluru, Apr 19: Former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday thanked Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa for backing his family regarding his son Nikhil s wedding, which drew flak for allegedly violating lockdown norms.

Asserting that social distancing was maintained during the wedding, the JD(S) leader in a series of tweets hit out at those accusing his family of violating lockdown norms, by stating that they were doing it out of "political hate".

"Despite maintaining social distancing and following rules during Nikhil's marriage, there are discussion that norms were not followed.

Because of political hate, poisonous comments are being made about an auspicious event, but Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa by rejecting all this is standing by the truth," Kumaraswamy said in a tweet in Kannada.

He said, "heartfelt thanks to Yediyurappa for his statement that a big political family in the state has conducted the marriage ceremony in a simple way."

Nikhil, the grandson of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda, entered wedlock on Friday at a Bidadi farmhouse with Revathi, the grandniece of former Congress minister M Krishnappa.

On the day of the marriage several posts on social media, also media reports had criticised the Gowda family for violating locdown norms and social distancing during the event.

Coming to the defence of Gowda family, Yediyurappa in response to a question on Saturday told reporters "They (family) had all the permissions and the event was held in a simple fashion. There's no need to discuss this.

"Despite having many relatives, they stuck to the limitations. For this, I congratulate them," he had said.

Stating that lockdown rules were followed during Nikhil's marriage, Kumaraswamy said, "By looking for politics in Nikhil's marriage, certain faulty minds on social media are spewing venom that is in their mind."

Gowda family had scaled down Nikhil's wedding, which was earlier planned in a 95-acre land near Ramanagara with a lavish set, with lakhs of party workers and well-wishers in attendance, followed by a grand reception in Bengaluru.

Nikhil has acted in couple of Kannada films in the lead role.

He had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha polls from the party bastion of Mandya and had lost against multilingual actress Sumalatha Ambareesh, an independent candidate supported by BJP, in a bitterly contested polls.
