Facepalm moment for Amit Shah as Karnataka CM gives it back to him on Twitter

Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah’s reply to Bharatiya Janata Party supremo Amit Shah on Twitter after the latter accused the former of indulging in corruption has gone viral on social media. Siddaramaiah not only challenged Shah to present evidence to prove the allegations made against him but also reminded that the latter was a jailbird.

During a rally in Mysuru on Thursday Shah had accused the Siddaramaiah government of being “synonymous with corruption” and also accused him of protecting the killers of Hindu activists. That evening, he also tweeted: “Siddaramaiah govt has crossed all limits of corruption. In Karnataka, Siddaramaiah and corruption are synonyms. Siddaramaiah means corruption and corruption means Siddaramaiah.”

On Friday morning, Siddaramaiah tweeted: “Says an ex-jailbird, who chose another former jailbird to be his party’s CM candidate for our Karnataka election. Can he present facts about the so-called corruption charges against me or my govt.? Just telling lies won’t help. People will not believe his #jumlas.”

This was a dig at Shah being in judicial custody in 2010 in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, and to the party State president B.S. Yeddyurappa’s arrest in 2011 in connection with the irregularities in denotification of land.

Siddaramaiah also replied to a tweet by Kannada activist Ganesh Chetan criticising Amit Shah for being silent on the Mahadayi issue during his speech in Mysuru. The Chief Minister shot back: “Not his fault! Nobody told him about #Mahadayi. He reads an outdated speech about Tipu, corruption & a fictitious ₹2 lakh crore that the Central govt. supposed to have given us. @AmitShah ravare, next time please read about #Mahadayi before coming here.”

Shah’s visit to Mysuru came on a day when the State was witnessing a bandh over the Mahadayi water-sharing issue with Goa.

BJP is a stinking and sinking ship in Karnataka whose leaders are corrupt, criminals, immoral gangs are in deep shi..The fear of Siddaramaiah, his popularity, people friendly schems and a clean administration worriying these good for nothing culprits who looted the state during their tenure. People understand BJP's frustration and Criminal Leader's open call to its cadres to commit violence in the state to divide people and garner votes. Karnataka is NOT Gujrat, it will not work here.

Bengaluru, May 20: Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) had to confront an unprecedented situation as there was a commotion at bus stands in various parts of the state due to the mad rush of passengers.

Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi, who is in charge of the transport department, admitted that there were some shortcomings in the arrangements. He, however, was confident that things would improve from Wednesday.

As against the dearth of passengers in the bus stands in Bengaluru a day ago, Wednesday witnessed an overwhelming crowd blaming BMTC authorities for not providing enough buses for all the destinations on time.

Some of the employees who were asked to report to duty before certain time were facing difficulty in reaching the office in the absence of bus despite having daily pass and arriving at the stand well in advance.

Authorities were finding it difficult to convince the public as a bus could ferry only 35 passengers at a time which was way less than the demand.

Bengaluru, July 29: The Central Crime Branch arrested four international drug peddlers belonging to Kerala and recovered drugs worth Rs 1.25 crore from them, said Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday.

"We have started a war on drugs. Our agenda is to curb the drug mafia not only in Bengaluru, but in entire Karnataka. Many people are involved in the drug mafia. They are targeting students, other states, and international students who can spend and afford to become victims," said Bommai.

The recovered items include 2,000 kg LSD strips, 110 grams MDMA Cristol, 10 ecstasy tablets, 5 kg Ganja, five cell phones, weighing machine and pouches.

"When we raided a house in Soladevanahally police station area, we arrested Shahad Mohammed, Azmal, Ajin KG Verghese and Nitin Mohan. All are from Kerala and we will arrest their contacts as well. They are involved in the dark web mafia," Bommai said.

He said the peddlers were using post offices and couriers for their business.

"I'll speak to the central government, the home ministry and postal department, and other issues related to this mafia. Canada, Netherlands, and other nations are also involved in this mafia," said the state home minister.

"People from influential backgrounds are also involved in this mafia, but our objective is zero tolerance. We are using our intelligence. Drugs are coming from other states like AP, Goa, and other states," he said.
Bommai said he was personally addressing this case and appealed for support from parents, schools and colleges.

"I'm addressing this issue personally because it's important to curb the drug mafia. I need support from schools and college managements and parents. I'll also call college and hostel managements before colleges start. We will make managements responsible," he said.

Bengaluru, Apr 22:  Karnataka Women and Child Welfare Department has warned of action against those raising funds for Covid relief works, by using photos of children.

In a release here on Wednesday, the department said that several non-governmental organisations and voluntary groups were using the photographs of children to collect donations.

It has come to notice that several NGOs are using photos of children to raise donations to meet their food, health and other expenditure during the lockdown. However, this is against the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act," the Director of the ICDS scheme stated in a release.
