I don’t grow money on trees: HDK on delay in allocation of funds

Bengaluru, Aug 10: Chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Thursday hit back at detractors questioning him over the delay in allocation of funds for various government schemes. His retort — he doesn’t grow money on trees.

“I am being accused of not allocating funds for the farm loan waiver, Shaadi Bhagya and other schemes. But I want to let them know that I don’t grow money on trees to distribute funds right away,” Kumaraswamy said while addressing a function in Bengaluru to mark World Tribal Day.

He added that a certain process has to be followed and there are multiple constraints that only he knows about. “I need to take officials into confidence before allocating funds. Despite these constraints, I have to convince them to release the money,” he added.

The CM, however, clarified that he would ensure all schemes meant for the poor and backward classes continue without any monetary hindrance. “I have found ways to allocate money for the Rs 49,000 crore mega farm loan waiver. People should have patience and give me some time to address other issues,” he said.

On reports that the government has reduced the allocation for Shaadi Bhagya, a scheme introduced by the previous Congress regime, Kumaraswamy said this isn’t true.

“Be it Shaadi Bhagya or any other scheme, there hasn’t been any reduction in allocation. I haven’t slashed allocation for programmes announced by the Congress government during its vote-on-account budget placed before the assembly in February this year,” the chief minister said.

Basically some centre support is must for allocating funds. Centre should give funds.

Shivamogga, Jun 16: The Deputy Commissioner on Tuesday announced a ban on movement of heavy goods vehicles in the Agumbe ghat section between June 15 and October 15 as a precautionary measure, as there was possibility of landslides due to heavy rain during the monsoon season.

All trucks over 12 tonnes will be prohibited from passing through the ghat, DC K B Shivakumar said in a statement here.

The authorities have suggested two alternative routes for the movement of heavy freight vehicles – the Shimoga-Thirthahalli-Sringeri-Kerekatte-Karkala-Udupi-Mangaluru route and the Shimoga-Thirthahalli-Mastikette-Hulikal-Hosangadi-Siddapura-Udupi-Mangaluru route.

Udupi, Apr 25: Senior RSS leader H Somashekhar Bhatt received a call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday enquiring about his health.

Bhatt got emotional hearing the Prime Minister's voice at the other end, family sources said.

The Prime Minister called at 8.30 AM and began the conversation with 'Somashekharji' and spoke for about six minutes.

The 85-year-old veteran recalled how the Jana Sangh came to power in Udupi municipality under the leadership of V S Acharya in 1968 and about his association with the Sangh Parivar through the decades and his imprisonment during the Emergency.

Bhatt, former Udupi municipality president, later said it was a rare honour for him.

"I am very glad that PM Modi called and spoke to me. I shared the experience of meeting him at the Jaipur session.

Asked to take care of health and expressed concern," he said.

The Prime Minister has been calling senior functionaries of the party who worked for the Sangh Parivar in the time of adversities to build up the BJP in its present form and seeking advice from them.

He had also called in recent days former MLA Ram Bhat who was elected from Puttur in Dakshina Kannada and D H Shankar Murthy, who was former chairman of the state legislative council, BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel tweeted.
