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 He reads an outdated speech about Tipu, corruption & a fictitious ₹2 lakh crore that the Central govt.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.

New Delhi, Jul 27: A month after banning 59 Chinese applications, the government of Indian has now reportedly banned 47 more apps of Chinese origin in the country. According to sources, the 47 banned Chinese apps were operating as clones of the earlier banned apps. 

The list of the 47 Chinese applications banned by the Indian government will be released soon.

India has also prepared a list of over 250 Chinese apps, including apps linked to Alibaba, that it will examine for any user privacy or national security violations, government sources said. The list also includes Tencent-backed gaming app PUBG.

Some top gaming Chinese applications are also expected to be banned in the new list that is being drawn up, sources said. The Chinese applications, that are being reviewed, have allegedly been sharing data with the Chinese agencies.

Today's decision follows after a high-profile ban of 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, as border tensions continued in Ladakh after a violent, fatal face-off between the Indian and Chinese armies. The government said these apps were engaged in activities that were prejudicial to the sovereignty, integrity and defence of India.

A government press release announcing the ban stated: "The Ministry of Information Technology, invoking it's power under section 69A of the Information Technology Act read with the relevant provisions of the Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking of Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009 and in view of the emergent nature of threats has decided to block 59 apps since in view of information available they are engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order".

A day later, Google said it has removed all the banned applications from the Play Store. Following the ban, TikTok refuted the claims that suggest it will pursue legal action against the Indian government for banning the app in India.

Reacting to the 59 apps banned by India, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said the country is "strongly concerned regarding the decision of the Indian government".

“China is strongly concerned, verifying the situation,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

"We want to stress that the Chinese government always asks Chinese businesses to abide by international and local laws-regulations. The Indian government has a responsibility to uphold the legal rights of international investors including Chinese ones," Zhao Lijian said.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: In an attempt to avoid the ugly scene of migrant workers walking to their native places due to the current week-long lockdown imposed in the state, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is running 1,600 additional buses on Monday and Tuesday to help them return safely.

The KSRTC has already run 249 additional buses from the State capital and has so far ferried 6,641 passengers and 231 buses have been booked.

The KSRTC appealed to the public not to panic as additional buses have been deployed. "After ensuring social distance and conducting thermal screening, passengers will be allowed to travel. It has already been planned to operate additional buses," the corporation stated in a press release here.

Mangaluru, Apr 12: A 10-month-old baby who tested COVID-19 positive on March 27 completed treatment and discharged from hospital on Saturday.

He was the youngest positive case in Karnataka, from Sajipanadu village in Bantwal taluk.

The child had been with his mother to a relative's house at Monetepadau village, situated on the Karnataka-Kerala border in the first week of March.

A few days later the child developed an acute respiratory illness and tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

Treating the breastfeeding child was challenging for doctors as he had to be isolated. A team of doctors from Wenlock Hospital took up this challenge and successfully cured the baby.

Test reports on his mother and grandmother too have returned negative. They too had been under quarantine and were discharged with the baby.

Another positive development was that no COVID-19 case has been reported from the child's village.  

The entire Sajipanadu village was completely sealed after the child tested positive and the district had provided all the necessary supplies to the villagers.
