I will reveal what led to crisis: HD Kumaraswamy

Bengaluru, Jul 19: The ruling JD(S)- Congress coalition lived to fight another day, with chief minister HD Kumaraswamy determined not to let go without an epic struggle.

Making the opening statement after moving a confidence motion, Kumaraswamy exuded confidence. “I will prove my majority in the House,” he said.

Opposition leader and BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa immediately stood up and demanded that the trust vote be completed in a single day. “The leader of the opposition seems to be in a hurry. But wait, there is a lot of time,” Kumaraswamy taunted Yeddyurappa. “I have to make some clarifications and unmask those responsible for destabilising our government. We have to tell the truth. The entire nation is watching the developments in Karnataka.”

Alleging that the BJP engineered the defection of 15 MLAs from the Congress and JD(S), the CM said the dissenting legislators had moved the Supreme Court with the BJP’s assistance.

“I haven’t come just because it’s is a question of whether I can run a coalition government,” he said. “Even the role of the speaker has been put in jeopardy by some legislators. A situation has been created for people to lose trust in us. They want a trust vote without any discussion.”

“While [the rebel MLAs’] resignations contained one line stating that their decision was genuine and voluntary, in the Supreme Court they said the state is steeped in corruption. They even quoted the JSW land deal and IMA scam. I have to tell the truth,” the CM said.

“I will not threaten anybody,” he said. “I’m in no hurry. Let’s discuss what happened between 2008 and 2013 [when the BJP was in power]. We haven’t treated MLAs like cattle.”

Bengaluru, Jul 22: Congress MLA Priyank Kharge has questioned the Karnataka government on the alleged breakdown of oxygen in the intensive care unit (ICU) at ESIC hospital in Kalaburagi, saying he had got complaints that eight persons who were on ventilators had died.

He asked the government if it is "deliberately" hiding something about the patients that were admitted in ESIC.

"I have got complaints that eight people who were on ventilators are dead in ESIC Kalaburagi because there was oxygen breakdown in ICU. ESIC has not been admitting patients as the issue has not been resolved. Nobody is confirming or denying it. Is the Government deliberately hiding something?" he asked.
Kharge also accused the government of not having adequate facilities to combat COVID-19 in different parts of the state.

"I hope I am wrong, but if it is a fact, this ascertains that the administration has lost control over Corona pandemic in the district. No addition testing centre. No beds are available. PPE Kits and medical waste is thrown in Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS)," he added.

According to the Union Health Ministry, there are 67420 COVID-19 cases in the state.

Bengaluru, Jan 18: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the "flag-bearer" of the Indian culture and tradition.

In his speech at an event organised by Vedanta Bharati here, Shah said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is touring across the globe as the flag bearer of the Indian culture and tradition." To buttress his point, the BJP National President said Modi took a holy dip in Ganga and attended Ganga Arati in Varanasi before taking oath as the Prime Minister.

It was for the first time that Modi sent red sander to Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal to perform special prayers on behalf of the government of India.

Shah also slammed the previous governments for their wrong interpretation of secularism, preventing them from honouring the best things of the country. "But after a long interval we have a Prime Minister who sends across the message that we have a lot to give to the world," Shah said.
