Belagavi, Oct 27: Former Karnataka chief minister and senior Janata Dal (Secular) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday said that he would not allow fall of BJP government in the state.

"I will not allow fall of BJP government headed by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and state going to
Mid-term poll as dreamed by Congress party," Mr Kumaraswamy said.

Speaking to mediapersons, he said that "survival of BJP government is in my hands. I will not let the BJP government be pulled down and Opposition leader in the Legislative Assembly Siddaramaiah's dream of having mid-term poll becoming true".

Mr Kumaraswamy said that in the present circumstances, with flood situation alarming, all funds mobilised by the state government should be spent on rehabilitation of the affected,for giving compensation to farmers whose crops were washed away in flood water and to provide shelter to those who have lost their houses.

"More than Rs 250 crore is needed for holding Mid-term poll and the same amount can be utilised for flood affected people's welfare. This is not a good time for re-election in the State," he said.

He said that BJP government, which came to power just months back, needs more time to act as the damages caused due to floods is very huge. The State government had earlier estimated Rs 35,000 crore loss due to flood in August and September and the fresh damages is yet to be ascertained.

"Let Mr Yeddyurappa continue and come to the rescue of the affected people instead of State going to mid-term election and spend huge money," he added.

Mr Kumaraswamy visited flood affected villages and listened to grievances of the people.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Action will be taken against private hospitals that were violating government norms and charging exorbitant fees charges for the treatment of Covid-19 patients and suspects, said Water Resources Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi.

The government has taken action against private hospitals in Bengaluru and the same parameters would be adopted other cities, he said speaking to media persons in Belagavi on Friday.

Jarkiholi said that the government had noticed that patients were levied exorbitant charges for Covid-19 treatment. People too have complaints regarding the huge bills by these private hospitals and have demanded action.

“We are not under the obligation of any private hospital and stringent action will be taken against all erring and violating government tariffs. They will have to treat patients and follow the tariffs fixed,” he stated.

Mangaluru, June 13:  The Central Crime Branch of Bengaluru City Police, which is digging up old cases involving underworld gangster Ravi Pujari, has now launched a fresh probe into the murder of human rights lawyer Naushad Kashimji.

Kashimji was gunned down on April 9, 2009 at the basement of his apartment in Falnir in Mangaluru. Ravi Pujari had allegedly ordered the hit. 

As part of investigation, a team from Benglauru CCB has come to Mangaluru. CCB sleuths, who obtained Pujari’s police custody in connection with this case, are tying up the loose ends pertaining to the murder of Kashimji who was representing D-Company hitman Abdul Rashid Hassan Malbari aka Malbari. 

Pujari was said to be unhappy over Kashimji representing Malbari. Pujari had also allegedly issued life threats, directing him to desist from doing so.

Kashimji had reportedly received more than 10 international threat calls from March 30 to April 9 (the day he was murdered). According to a senior police officer, the advocate had not informed the police or his then senior Purushottam Poojary about receiving the threat calls. “This came to light when police went through his call records later,” the officer explained.

“CCB team is primarily focusing on Pujari’s role in the advocate’s sensational murder,” a senior CCB officer handling the investigating said. 

“We have also lined up other cases in which Pujari is allegedly involved, but had filed the chargesheet against him in absentia as he was then a fugitive,” the officer added. The team is now picking up threads of Pujari’s involvement cases in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Chikkamagaluru districts.

Pujari, currently in police custody in Bengaluru, is accused in more than 30 cases reported in Mangaluru from 2007 to 2018. Majority of the cases against Pujari pertain to extortion and extending death threats, one relating to murder, three to shootings/ abduction and one where he supplied money to his henchmen in prison. Police have filed ‘C’ report in 17 out of 28 threat call cases and ‘B’ report in one case. Rest are in different stages of trial.
