Belagavi, Nov 11: Taking a dig at the BJP, MLA Laxmi Hebbalkar on Saturday said that those opposing Tipu Jayanti are the ones who lauded him in the past when they needed votes.

She was speaking after inaugurating the Tipu Jayanti celebration organized by the district administration here on Saturday. The Belagavi (Rural) MLA said that Tipu pledged his children to safeguard the kingdom from British and protected Sringeri Mutt from enemies. “One should not play politics in such issues,” she stated.

Yamakanamaradi MLA Satish Jarkiholi, said that Tipu respected Kannada and the language developed in the Mysuru region under his rule. “His contributions in making Karnataka famous in silk production are unparalleled,” he said.

Jarkiholi said some leaders are spreading lies that Tipu killed 50,000 Kodavas when the community’s population was less. “Tipu was a great king with innovative mindset and courage,” he said.

Mohammad Kaif Mulla, who was first in SSLC, was felicitated on the occasion. ZP vice-president Arun Katambale and Maulana Mushtaq Ahmed Ashraf also spoke on the occasion. DC S B Bommanahalli, city police commissioner D C Rajappa, BCC commissioner Shashidhar Kurer and additional DC H B Budeppa were present.

Bengaluru, Apr 1: The price of petrol and diesel will go up by Rs 1.60 and Rs 1.59 per litre, respectively, from Wednesday. This is in line with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa’s decision to hike the rate of tax on petrol from 32% to 35% and diesel from 21% to 24%.

He had announced this in his March 5 Budget for 2020-21 fiscal. At present, a litre of petrol costs Rs 71.97 and diesel Rs 64.41 in Bengaluru.

The government decided to roll out the hike from Tuesday midnight going into Wednesday, April 1, after briefly considering a postponement in view of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Finance Secretary (Budget & Resources) Ekroop Caur confirmed to DH that the hike will be rolled out. 

The 3% hike on fuel tax was a key resource mobilisation measure that Yediyurappa announced in his Budget. The hike is expected to fetch the government Rs 1,500 crore. 

Yediyurappa had also announced a 6% additional excise duty on Indian Made Liquor (IML), which could help the government mop up Rs 1,200 crore. However, the sale of liquor has been prohibited during the lockdown period. Plus, hiking fuel prices during the lockdown will not hit citizens very hard.
