Bengaluru, Jul 17: Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Monday sought to clarify that his emotional outburst was not because of the Congress, but due to unhappiness that he was not getting enough support despite pro-people works.

“Media has twisted my statements,” Kumaraswamy told reporters in Ramanagara. “Despite financial constraints, I have waived Rs 40,000 crore of crop loans and I’m doing other pro-people works. There’s no pressure on me from Congress leaders and they are supporting me totally, including Congress president Rahul Gandhi.”

He said he would head the Congress-JD(S) coalition long so long as he was destined to. “I’ve joined hands with the Congress to serve people. This is a wish God has granted. I will run the government as long his blessings are there.”

Meanwhile, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Dinesh Gundu Rao played down Kumaraswamy’s recent tearful outburst, calling it “a human expression of anguish.”

“There will be minor hiccups in a coalition government. I spoke to Kumaraswamy. He told me he got emotional. He did not speak anything against the Congress or any of the party’s leaders. He got emotional about the negative media coverage. We will sort things out. Let’s not discuss this too much.” Rao told reporters in Bengaluru. Last Saturday, Kumaraswamy shed tears and said that he was unhappy as the chief minister and was swallowing poison in the Congress-JD(S) coalition set up. This left many Congress leaders red-faced, with senior leader Mallikarjun Kharge saying Kumaraswamy was sending out a wrong message.

Rao also blamed the BJP for creating negativity. “Kumaraswamy’s expression was also on the way the BJP and its communal forces are attacking people and elected representatives in a demeaning manner,” the Congress leader said. “But it was a human expression of anguish at the difficulties he’s facing and he’s come around it.”

Meanwhile, Rao lambasted Union Minister Arun Jaitley: “We saw what the BJP did after forming a government in the J&K with PDP and then collapsing it to ruin that state. We saw what they did in Maharashtra and other states where they usurped power through unholy alliances in an anti-democratic manner. Here, the Congress and JD(S) came together on ideology. Jaitley should look into his own backyard.”

Riyadh, Apr 22: In an extraordinary initiative, the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has decided to facilitate the travel of expatriates who have an exit and reentry visa or final exit visa to return to their countries.

This is in line with the order of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

According to the initiative, called “Auda” (return), expatriates can apply seeking permission for travel to their countries through the Absher portal of the ministry.

Announcing this, Saudi's Ministry of Interior said that the initiative will be implemented in cooperation with a number of relevant government agencies.

Requests for travel from expatriates will be received and approved in coordination with the relevant authorities to complete their travel procedures on board international flights.

As per the initiative, a text message will be sent to the beneficiary stating the travel date, ticket number and reservation details, and by which the beneficiary can obtain his travel ticket and complete the travel procedures.

Clarifying the procedures for the travel, the ministry said that the applicant shall select the icon (Auda) after visiting the Absher portal and fill the following fields: iqama (residency permit) number, date of birth, mobile number, departure city and airport of arrival.

It is not mandatory for the expatriate to have his own Absher account for availing of the service, the ministry said, adding that this facility is to enable expatriates to benefit from this initiative.

The departure will be through the following airports: King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Prince Muhammad International Airport in Madinah, and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam.

Those expatriates who are outside these cities can benefit from the service through entering airport of departure after completion of their travel procedures in sufficient period of time.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: At 11 am on Friday, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa will present the State Budget for the 2020-2021 fiscal. Coming at a time when the state is facing financial challenges, the budget is expected to have minor tax shocks for citizens, while making space for big-ticket allocations to the agriculture and water resources ministries. Thursday's budget will be Yediyurappa’s seventh.

“Agriculture is our primary focus. The recent gazette notification of the Mahadayi tribunal order is a welcome move for Karnataka and we will make budgetary allocations for this too,” the CM had said.

The cut back in devolution of funds for Karnataka from the divisible pool, trimming of funds from the Union Government for Centrally-sponsored schemes and tax collections falling short of revenue targets have made matters tough for Yediyurappa. The consolation may be the part payment of one installment of GST compensation from the Centre. The GST compensation, in part for the October-November period, was released to the state in time for tabling of the budget.
