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.

Bantwal, Jul 24: Former Union Minister B Janardhan Poojary on Friday said that people need to shed all their misconception regarding COVID-19 and stop taking it so lightly as it is not just any normal disease.

The 83-year-old politician who was tested positive for covid-19, was recently discharged from hospital after recovering completely.

Giving a word of caution, he said, “Earlier also there have been several diseases like Covid-19 and it has been eradicated. Even covid-19 will be eradicated. So, people should not get scared of the disease instead must fight with it”

“Also, covid-19 patients must not be treated like untouchables as those with symptoms may also not mention it due to the fear of being treated badly,” he added.

Bengaluru, Feb 17: Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah on Monday demanded that forest minister Anand Singh should either be expelled from the Cabinet or assigned a different portfolio.

This comes amid a number of cases, pending against Singh, including those under the Karnataka Forest Act.

"How can we expect justice from Anand Singh who has been made forest minister and is accused of (illegal mining)? We demand that he should either be dropped out of the state Cabinet or at least his portfolio be changed," Siddaramaiah told media.

Earlier in the day, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa allocated portfolios to the 10 newly inducted ministers in his Cabinet.

As part of state Cabinet's expansion, 10 MLAs including Ramesh Jarkiholi, Anand Singh, K Sudhakar, and BA Basavaraja took oath as ministers at Raj Bhawan in Bengaluru on February 6.
