Bengaluru, May 6: Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday hit out the BJP and said its leaders should declare themselves “pagal ” (mad) instead of “ chowkidar ” (watchman) in the interest of the public.

Fearing electoral defeat, BJP leaders, right from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to K.S. Eshwarappa, have let their tongue loose, Mr. Siddaramaiah tweeted.

His tweet came a day after Mr. Eshwarappa made a heinous comment against Mr. Siddaramaiah. “The frustration of being on the verge of defeat is visible in everyone from Narendra Modi to Eshwarappa. For the interest of the public, it is better that BJP leaders claim themselves to be pagal instead of chowkidar ,” the Congress leader said.

Addressing a gathering in Dharwad’s Kundagol during a BJP rally on Saunday, Mr. Eshwarappa had asked, “What if Siddaramaiah’s granddaughter was raped?”

Taking to Twitter on Monday, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Dinesh Gundu Rao said, “By asking ‘What if @siddaramaiah’s grand daughter was raped,’ @BJP4Karnataka leader K.S. Eshwarappa has revealed his inhuman side. Only a person who has lost his mental balance would make such a reference to a school-going kid. He should be locked up permanently. @PMOIndia.”

Shivamogga, Aug 5: Karnataka Minister KS Eshwarappa on Wednesday hailed the laying of foundation stone (bhoomi pujan) for a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said "Kashi Vishwanath and "Krishna Janmasthan temples have to be liberated".

"It is a good day that the foundation stone for Ram Temple has been laid. A beautiful temple will come up, but there are Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janmasthan temples which have to be liberated," Eshwarappa said.

The minister said that there is a "sign of slavery" at Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.

"The whole nation is dreaming of Shri Krishna temple in Mathura and Kashi Vishwanath temple. I have visited the two temples. 

There is a sign of slavery. Mosques are there at holy places. When I visited the place at Mathura, I witnessed the wall. When we look at the wall, we feel like we are still slaves," he said.

"While visiting Kashi, there is also a structure of slavery. Dream of Hindus is fulfilled in Ayodhya. One day, it will be fulfilled in Mathura and Kashi. Mathura Sri Krishna and Kashi Vishwanath will be freed and temple will be built," Eshwarappa added.

The Places of Worship Act, enacted in 1991, says that religious character of a place of worship existing on the August 15, 1947 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day. The Act kept Ayodhya case out of its purview.

Bengaluru, June 14: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa-led BJP government of Karnataka has once again urged the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union BJP government to release GST compensation worth Rs 10,208 crore that is due for the state.

The request was placed with Finance Minister Niramala Sitharaman during the 40th GST council meeting, in which Karnataka Home Minister and state’s representative to the council, Basavaraj Bommai, participated.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Bommai said that Rs 10,208 crore was due from the Centre as GST compensation for four four months - from March to May.

“We have requested the Centre to release Rs 1,460 crore - pertaining to GST compensation for the month of March - as soon as possible due to the dire financial conditions of the state,” he said.

Bommai said that the state was confident that the funds will be released soon, noting that Karnataka had recently received Rs 4,314 in GST compensation for three months, between December 2019 to February 2020.

Meanwhile, the state also proposed the Council to reduce penalty for delay in filing GST. Bommai said that while people are made to pay 18% of the tax as fine in delay in payment, Karnataka has asked the Centre to reduce the percentage by half to 9%.
