Bengaluru, Apr 6: In an apparent U-turn, former chief minister and JD(S) State president H D Kumaraswamy has said that his party may join hands with the party to from a coalition government in Karnataka in case of a fractured mandate. 

It’s worth mentioning here that Kumaraswamy had recently stated that JD(S) would not join hands with any party in case of a fractured mandate in Karnataka. He had also said that his party would demand for a by-election if no party gets clear majority. 

However, speaking at a JD(S) Vikasa Parva rally at the Subhash Chandra Bose grounds in Chikkamagalur on Sunday, he said if a coalition government becomes inevitable due to a fractured verdict in the May 12 elections, his party would join hands with the party that would agree to implement JD(S)’ programs.

Kumaraswamy said that television surveys had indicated that the party would clinch 40 seats. "Without us no one can form a government," he claimed. 

"I have no ambitions of becoming chief minister. I am a former CM. Even if we get 40 seats as predicted, I will not go to anybody's door asking for chief ministership. If there is a coalition government, then the party we support must back our development programs," he averred.

Kumaraswamy said that he was confident that the people of the state would back JD(S) and the party would win over 113 seats. He also said after touring northern Karnataka he was confident that JD(S) would win seven seats in Vijayapura, seven in Bidar, six in Raichur.

New Delhi, Apr 19: The government on Sunday prohibited the sale of non-essential items through e-commerce platforms during the ongoing lockdown, four days after allowing such companies to sale mobile phones, refrigerators and ready-made garments.

Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla issued an order excluding the non-essential items from sale by the e-commerce companies from the consolidated revised guidelines, which listed the exemption given to the services and people from the purview of the lockdown.

The order said the following clause -- "E-commerce companies. Vehicles used by e-commerce operators will be allowed to ply with necessary permissions" -- is excluded from the guidelines.

The previous order had said such items were allowed for sale through e-commerce platforms from April 20.

However, the reason for reversing the order is not known immediately.

Bengaluru, May 25: The 36-hour marathon lockdown call given by Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, passed off peacefully with people opting to remain inside their houses and cooperate with the state government to fight against spread of deadly Covid-19.

Though the call was only for 24 hours from 7 am (Sunday) to 7 am (Monday) another 12 hours was added to it as the night curfew was already in force from 7 pm on Saturday and the next day (Sunday) it continued till Monday up to 7 am.

Autorickshaws and bus service were off the road giving a tough time to people arriving from neighbouring places reach home that too during the night. Adding to their woes was heavy rain that lashed the city for more than two hours on Sunday evening flooding the streets.
