September 19, 2018

Bengaluru, Sept 19: Opposition Leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly Mr B S Yeddyurappa, who is also State BJP President, made a scathing attack on the functioning of the JDS-Congress Coalition government headed by Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and termed it as a 'Commission Agent' and transfers were undertaken by taking commission.

"No file moves without giving bribe. The Ministers are collecting 8 per cent to 10 per cent to pass the Bills", he alleged.

Mr Yeddyurappa was speaking at a meeting in Palace Ground in which his party's all the 104 MLAs, MLCs and senior leaders participated here on Wednesday.

Underlining that even Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwara was shocked to see that Transfers were effected at random and without his concent.

"Dr Parameshwara has became a mute spectator as father (former Prime Minister H D Devegowda) and Son (Mr Kumaraswamy) are not allowing him (Dr Parameshwara) to take decision independently whether on transfer in Home portfolio which he is holding or on any other matter," he added.

"The Coalition government is run by Father and Son and nobody, especially Congress Ministers, have any say whether on posting of an honest officer or in any other matter," Mr Yeddyurappa added.

The former Chief Minister alleged that Mr Kumaraswamy is stooping to low level politics by making baseless allegation to the effect that BJP is indulging in 'Operation Kamal' to lure Legislators of Coalition Government and by stating that he was well aware about 'King pins' utilised to lure the Legislators of the Coalition government.

Mr Yeddyurappa alleged that it was Mr Kumaraswamy who tried to lure Mr Malikaya Guttedar in Kalaburagi. Mr Guttedar joined BJP before May 12 election to the Legislative Assembly.

In the meeting the issues including party's need to gear up for the Lok Sabha elections due next year, among other issues were discussed.

Four relatives found Covid-19 positive after attending funeral in Mandya

News Network

May 1,2020

Mysuru, May 1: Four people who brought a dead man’s body from Mumbai for cremation in his native place in Mandya district in Karnataka have tested positive for Covid-19 virus, and now the administration is trying to find out if the man himself had been an undetected positive.

According to Mandya district deputy commissioner M V Venkatesh, the deceased man was a 53-year-old native of B Kodagalli of Pandavapura taluk, Melkote hobli in Mandya district. He died after suffering a heart attack at the U N Desai government hospital in Mumbai on April 23.

The cremation took place outside the man's native village after the local administration refused to allow it inside the village.

Wanting the final rites performed in his native place, the man’s family got the body embalmed and procured all the medical records and certificates from the hospital and brought it in an ambulance belonging to the Desai government hospital.

When they reached Pandavapura taluk in Karnataka on the evening of April 24, the local administration did not allow the body to enter the village but allowed the relatives to cremate it outside the village.

And since the family had come from Mumbai, the district administration quarantined all seven of the man’s relatives, and their samples were sent for testing on 28 April.

The results showed that the deceased man’s 25-year-old son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and two-year-old grandchild are positive for Covid 19. All of them have been admitted at the Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences although they have no symptoms.

Deputy commissioner Venkatesh said that in the Desai hospital records in Mumbai there was no mention whether or not the man had been tested for Covid-19. “We are writing to Desai hospital to clarify if the deceased person was tested for Covid 19. It is also possible that the family got infected by the man’s son who works in the loan department of ICICI Bank in Mumbai and visits several offices in different areas of Mumbai,” he said.

The man’s ancestral B Kodagalli village now has been sealed off. Though tests done on other members of the family have come back negative, the Mandya administartions plans to repeat their tests.

So far 26 people have tested positive for Covid 19 in Mandya district.

Karnataka: Congress high command summons Siddaramaiah to New Delhi

News Network

January 13,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 13: Though he submitted his resignation as leader of the opposition over a month ago, former chief minister Siddaramaiah continues as the face of the Congress in Karnataka.

However, this may change as All India Congress Committee (AICC) interim president Sonia Gandhi has summoned Siddaramaiah to Delhi for a final consultation over change of guard. Over the past month, there has been speculation over the possibility of Congress persisting with Siddaramaiah as opposition leader and either party troubleshooter DK Shivakumar or former ministers MB Patil, HK Patil or Eshwar Khandre replacing incumbent president Dinesh Gundu Rao. Both tendered resignations owing moral responsibility for the party's dismal performance in the 15 bypolls held last month.

In the past 24 hours, there has been talk of Siddaramaiah being asked to be the state unit president and vacating the other post for a young turk or experience legislator including the likes of Shivakumar who could be the face of KPCC by 2023 if he gets a clean chit from the ED in cases of money-laundering, etc. Seniors, including former KPCC president and DyCM G Parameswara and former minister HK Patil, are strong contenders to be leader of the opposition if Siddaramaiah is asked to vacate the post.

However, sources in the Siddaramaiah camp dismissed the possibility of him becoming KPCC president. "He has never aspired for the post and the high command is not inclined to do it," said a member in his camp.

Siddaramaiah may meet Sonia on Tuesday morning. It's still unclear if any other KPCC functionaries have been summoned. Sources said Sonia is scheduled to leave India for medical treatment on January 15 and wanted to complete the consultations about Karnataka. The high command has reportedly gone through reports submitted by party observers Madhusudan Mistry and Parameswara.
