New Delhi, June 18: Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Monday.

As per media reports, the two leaders discussed the recently- formed the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CMA).

Discussions were reportedly held on the issue of shortage of coal for Karnataka's thermal power plants as well.

Earlier in the day, Kumaraswamy met Union Water Resources Minister Nitin Gadkari.

The Karnataka Chief Minister also met Congress President Rahul Gandhi at his residence and held a detailed discussion relating to issues that confronted the coalition government.

He also conveyed his wishes ahead of the Rahul's birthday on June 19.
Kumaraswamy was accompanied by Janata Dal (Secular) (JD-S) secretary general Danish Ali, while All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary in-charge of Karnataka Congress K C Venugopal too was present during the meeting.

JD-S sources termed it as a 'courtesy visit' during which the Congress chief assured the new Congress-JDS government in the state of his full support.

On a related note, the Karnataka government had earlier opposed any move to form Cauvery Water Management Board. It had suggested formation of Cauvery Decision Implementation Committee.

This came after the Supreme Court ordered the central government to set up the Cauvery Management Board (CMB) and Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) within six weeks of pronouncement of the order.

However, the Centre has been criticised for failing to comply with the top court's order.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.
