JD(S) leader asks Congress to stop 'mischievious attitude'

Mandya, May 13: Janata Dal (Secular) leader H Vishwanath hit out at Congress asking them to stop their 'mischievous attitude' and efforts to sabotage coalition government.

"Congress leaders must stop their mischievous attitude. They must stop trying to sabotage the coalition government. They can do all this politics in 2022, this is not the time. We had brought Siddaramaiah to Congress, we created a situation that made him the chief minister," Vishwanath said speaking to media persons here.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje said: "Whatever Vishwanath has said is right. Siddaramaiah has failed as Chief Minister of Karnataka. He has not done anything. He came to power to divide society and religion in Karnataka. Now, Siddaramaiah is frustrated because people of Karnataka have rejected him."

Vishwanath's remarks come in contrast to JD (S) president and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda's statement. Gowda, affirming faith in the strength of the Congress-JD(S) alliance in the state, had said that both the parties are working without any misunderstandings.

"In this country, all regional parties do not have a good understanding with national parties, but we have a good relationship with Congress and are running the government without misunderstandings. We have to work together to reduce the power of BJP in Karnataka," Gowda had said.

He had also asserted that BJP is using social media to change people's opinion about Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

On May 9, BJP had alleged that Siddaramaiah is only concerned about the chief ministerial post and he has turned a deaf ear towards the woes of farmers.

All 28 Lok Sabha constituencies in Karnataka have voted. The Counting of votes will take place on May 23.

Mangaluru/Mysuru, May 19: Though the Karnataka government permitted the private buses, operators in Dakshina Kannada district have decided not to operate buses until May end. In Mysuru district too the private buses remained off the roads.

Dakshina Kannada Bus Owners’ Association President Dilraj Alva said “Technically, private bus operators are not able to operate services as all of us have surrendered our permits. If we start services we will have to pay the tax for entire month. Hence, we have decided to resume bus services from June 1.”

The private buses had suspended their services since March 24.

In addition, bus owners also have two more demands which the state government needs to consider on priority, he said.

“We have requested the government to exempt private buses from paying tax for the next six months. We were not plying buses during lockdown and it will be tough for us in the next three months to operate as per new conditions.”

“The government has allowed only 30 persons in each bus to maintain social distancing. In addition, we have been urging the state government for bus fare revision since 2013. The government has revised the bus fares of KSRTC twice after that,” Alva said adding that bus owners will be meeting Mangaluru RTO on Tuesday.

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Continuing easing of restrictions under 'unlock-1,' the Karnataka government has allowed shooting and production of films and television programmes in the state.

In a clarification, Principal Secretary Revenue N Manjunath Prasad said, shooting and production of all films and television programmes that were stopped in between due to lockdown can be allowed.

It is also allowed to continue with the post-production activities of film and television programmes after completing the shooting, it said.

The permission is conditional as it is subjected to adhering of the national directives issued in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and standard operating procedures prescribed by the Department of Information and Public Relations.

The clarification said permission can be given as film and television shooting and production activities are not banned under guidelines issued by the centre and the state government recently.
