Addressing media persons here on Saturday, Shetty said that the government was behaving in an adamant manner on setting up of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

“The ACB will certainly weaken the Lokayukta. Instead of forming the ACB, the government should have strengthened the Lokayukta institution in order to curb corruption,” he said. Blaming the State government for the II?PU question paper fiasco, Shetty said that instead of suspending the officials, the government should have dismissed them to send a strong message against repeat of such incidents.

Accusing the officials of failure to check illegal sand transportation in Dakshina Kannada district, Shetty said though the district administration had banned sand mining, illegal transportation of the construction material was going on unabated.

DK district JD(S) unit President Vittla Mohammed Kunhi said that the government was hell bent on setting up of ACB to shield ministers facing corruption charges.He alleged that the tuition mafia and few private colleges were involved in the II PU question paper leak.

“The Minister for Primary and Secondary Education Kimmane Ratnakar should tender his resignation. The State government is acting against its own promises made during the election. The power tariff has been revised. With erratic supply of power in rural areas, farmers are finding it difficult to irrigate their farm the district is facing acute shortage of water,” he said.

Bengaluru, Apr 21: The Karnataka Government may spare its employees from salary cuts this month despite severe resources crunch it faces following steep fall in revenue collection due to the ongoing lockdown to fight the coronavirus, official sources said on Tuesday.

As of now, there is no problem with April salary and we can manage. But if May also turns out to be a wash-out (in terms of revenue collection), then the situation is going to be very tough, a senior Minister said.

Ministers and members of Karnataka Legislature are taking a 30 per cent pay-cut for a year from April 1 this year. Opposition Congress in the state has vehemently opposed any possible move to cut salaries of government employees.

You just cant even imagine, the Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa had told news agency in an interview earlier this month on the economic impact of the lock-down on the state's finances. Yediyurappa had also said that the government is now not in a position to implement Budget proposals, barring important ones, with all kinds of revenue collections having completely stopped following the lockdown.

The government recently said it proposes to regularise unauthorised properties in the state by imposing penalty, and also auction more than 12,000 corner sites belonging to the Bengaluru Development Authority, as part of resource mobilisation drive.
