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, Jan 13: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat on Monday held a protest march at Ramnagar district’s 
Kapalabetta under the aegis of Hindu Jagran Vedike’s ‘Kanakapura Chalo’ campaign against the construction of the world’s largest Jesus statue there.

Hundreds of protesters of the Vedike staged a protest march in the city starting from the Kanakapura Ayyappaswamy temple.

“We are not here to disturb the peace. We have met each other at the wedding of Sriramulu’s daughter. So you know who I am, DK Shivakumar. How long will you continue with these lies? Is the intention behind the statue of Jesus to solidify your vote bank? Build the statue in America or England, we will not allow it here,” said the RSS leader as the keynote speaker at the rally.

Kasaragod, June 2: As Kerala commenced fresh academic year with online classes from Monday, a ninth-standard student at Malappuram district in North Kerala ended life allegedly owing to lack of online study facilities like television connection and a smartphone at her house.

Devika, daughter of Balakrishnan, hailing from a Dalit community at Valancherry, about 25 kilometres from Malappuram town, ended her life.

Balakrishnan told the media that he could not recharge the television connection owing to financial crunches. He was working as a daily wage worker and owing to COVID-19 and lockdown, he was not having much work these days. 

The family also did not have a smartphone or computer. The family members alleged that Devika was quite upset as she could not attend the virtual class that began on Monday. She was a student of a nearby government school.

Local police said that Devika, who was the eldest among four children of Balakrishnan, was suspected to have self-immolated using kerosene at a premise close to her house on Monday evening. The cause and provocations were still being probed only. No suicide notes were recovered yet.
