Bengaluru, Jul 5: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Tuesday said he is not dreaming of becoming the chief minister again and that he only wants to bring his party to power for the development of the state.

Addressing JD(S) workers after inducting senior leader A H Vishwanath and his followers into the party fold, he said only the JD(S) can find solutions to problems being faced by people of the state. Both the national parties, the Congress and the BJP, have failed to protect the interests of the state, he charged.

“The chief minister (Siddaramaiah) has said that I am dreaming of becoming the chief minister again...It is not true. He has made an arrogant statement. I have already served as the chief minister of the state. But I want to bring the JD(S) to power for the development of the state,” he said.

On Siddaramaiah’s statement that even JD (S) legislators are not criticising his government, Kumaraswamy said when many leaders within the ruling party themselves are criticising the government, there is no need for others to do that job. Senior ministers such as K R Ramesh Kumar and Kagodu Thimmappa are frequently hitting out at the government, he added.

He said the JD-S’ strength has increased in Mysuru following Vishwanath joining the party. Hundreds of Vishwanath’s followers will soon join the party in Mysuru, he added. Vishwanath, who quit the Congress following differences with Siddaramaiah, said the JD(S) has to chalk out a strategy to win the next Assembly polls.

He assured that he will try to strengthen the party under Kumaraswamy’s leadership.

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.

Remember social media memes of Chinese companies exporting #BoycottChina hats and t-shirts to India? This time India’s sensational and saffronite TV anchor Arnab Goswami vindicated those memes by hosting an anti-China debate show which was sponsored by Chinese companies!

While the last night's debate was all about boycotting Chinese products in the wake of massacre of over 20 Indian soldiers by their Chinese counterparts in eastern Ladakh, the show was brazenly promoting Chinese products through advertisement placements. 

During the debate, amongst the flashy headlines, there were two brand sponsorships that appeared: VIVO and Xiaomi. Both companies are giant Chinese multinational corporations. 

Twitter user Nirmala Tai, who was among those who spotted this irony, highlighted two instances during the debate where the logo of one of the brands popped up, and one where Xiaomi was found promoting the Mi 10. 

Many Twitterati used Goswami’s some of the favourite words such as ‘hypocrite’ and ‘anti-national’ to target him. They hit out at his channel for accepting sponsorship deals from Chinese brands at a time when anti-China sentiment is strong in the country.
