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.

Mysuru, Jan 27: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday refused to field questions on the state’s finances, merely saying his budget on March 5 will do the talking. The question came in the wake of Siddaramaiah, leader of the opposition, claiming recently that the state’s coffers were dry and its finances were in the doldrums.

However, Yediyurappa insisted the state’s finances were sound and it will be better once promises made by the business community during his trip to Davos turn into concrete investment.

“I will present the budget for 2020-21 on March 5. People will then know about the state’s financial position,” Yediyurappa said during a visit to Suttur Mutt on Sunday. “I will answer Siddaramaiah’s comments during the forthcoming budget session of the state legislature. The Davos meet I attended will benefit the state immensely. It will bring huge investments that will promote industry and agriculture growth and various job-generation activities.”

New Delhi, Feb 24: India has deeply appreciated the Senegal government's decision to extradite fugitive gangster Ravi Poojary to India, official sources said on Sunday.

Facilitation of transit provided by the Government of France has also been acknowledged, they said.

Ravi Prakash Poojary, accused of committing a number of serious offences including murder and extortion in multiple jurisdictions, was extradited from Senegal on Saturday.

The probe agencies have persistently pursued the case for his extradition with the authorities in Senegal. India had made a request with Senegal for his extradition in early 2019, sources said.

Poojary was associated with gangster Chhota Rajan, but he also worked for fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
