New Delhi, Mar 22: The Congress high command is not happy with the Siddaramaiah government's decision to set up the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

siddaramaiahAccording to a senior Congress leader, the high command is of the view that the move is against public opinion, especially civil society - which consider setting up ACB as a diversionary tactics helping those facing corruption charges.

“An opinion is being created that by setting up the ACB, the State government is trying to shield corrupt politicians and bureaucrats,” a senior party leader told Deccan Herald.

With a number of cases pending against politicians, including several ministers with the Lokayukta, the government's move would create confusion in the minds of public.

Instead of the ACB, the government should have taken corrective measures if there were deficiencies in the functioning of the Lokayukta, the leader added. The party's image, dented over chief minister's watch row, will take a further beating, he said.

Even senior party leaders in the State have already expressed their views against the decision, he added.

Timing

The high command is worried about the timing of the move and the party's efforts to defend action. With elections to five Assemblies announced, the Opposition could rake up the issue and corner the party on corruption issue.

Terming all the news, doing rounds, as baseless, Shivakumar said that he never made any attempt to become KPCC president. "All I want to do is work for my people and party", he asserted.

Referring to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa's visit to Harihar's 'Our Lady of Health Minor Basilica' programme, Shivakumar said."I'm not concerned about what others are doing, everyone is free to take part in the programmes."

Bengaluru, May 2: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar has urged Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to help the farmers in sending their produce to a market here amid the coronavirus lockdown.

The Congress leader made the appeal to the Chief Minister after listening to the farmers' issues while visiting KR Puram market on Friday.

Farmers told Shivakumar that the police are stopping their vehicles going towards the market despite the order passed by the Centre permitting the movement of vehicles carrying essential commodities during the lockdown.

"I have received calls from more than 100 farmers in the past few days. Every day, farmers from Kolar, Chikballapur, Malur and many other places come to KR Puram market to sell their agricultural goods, but their vehicles are stopped by the police. The cops do not allow them to sell fruits and vegetables. I request the Chief Minister to look into the matter and help the farmers," Shivakumar told reporters.

"I got to know that more than 50 vehicles were sent back. This government is of no use if they cannot secure the interests of the farmers. This government is not providing required support to the farmers," he added.

The Congress leader was accompanied by MLC Narayana Swamy and former president of Hoskote Authority Narayana Gowda during the visit to KR Puram market.
