Hubballi, Jan 20: Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Jagadish Shettar on Thursday charged that the government was purposely trying to keep the post of the Lokayukta vacant.

jagadishHe told mediapersons here that the government did not want to appoint anybody to the post.

As the post of Lokayukta is vacant for the past one year, many complaints have not been attended to. The chief minister is not in favour of disposing those complaints. Hence, he recommended the name of Justice Vishwanath Shetty against whom there are some charges.

The chief minister should again call a meeting of the committee concerned to discuss the appointment of Lokayukta, Shettar said. Issues like arrest of MLA?Raju Kage and Sangolli Rayanna Brigade would be discussed in the BJP core committee meeting to be held in Kalaburagi on Friday, he added.

Bengaluru, Aug 4 : Without mentioning any party leader's name, Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Monday appealed to Congress workers not to make any "defamatory statement" against any political leader on social media platforms.

Taking to Twitter, Shivakumar wrote, "I appeal to Congress workers not to make defamatory statements against any political leader, on matters of health and other issues on social media platforms. It is not in our culture to wish bad for others. Congress is a party that exemplifies brotherhood and humanity."

His statement comes days after Rajya Sabha MP and AICC in-charge for Gujarat, Rajiv Satav comment where he suggested that introspection in the party should begin from the time of the United Progressive Alliance -II government.

Later, Satav took to Twitter to clarify his remarks at Thursday's meeting of the party's Upper House MPs. Satav, through a series of tweets on Saturday, said he was not comfortable discussing what goes on inside party meetings in forums outside.

Tirupati, Jul 5: The Karnataka government will soon build a massive pilgrim amenities complex and marriage hall at Tirumala, the hill abode of Lord Venkateswara, at an estimated cost of Rs 200 crore, a temple official said here on Saturday.

The state would soon submit a blueprint for the construction of the Rs 200 crore mega complexes to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) that governs the hill shrine, the official said.

Consequently, based on the designs, TTD would construct the complexes with the given fund and after completion, they would be handed over to the Karnataka government, he said.

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa would lay the foundation stone for the mammoth complexes on the hills some time next month, he said.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is likely to take part in the programme, he added.

Dear Sir,   

 

 

Keep aside all these type of extra expenditure like spending for statues, monuments, pilgrim amnesties etc.

 

During this period of virus pandamic, please use all these amount for medicines, medical facilities, food and development of the state.  We are facing shortage of medical facilites and the people are dying on the road by not getting a bed in the hospital.  Please use these amounts for the same.  During this Pandemic not even hindu brothers also accept this offer.  Leave all vote politics and concentrate to develop the state.
