Mining baron Janardhana Reddy can’t campaign in Ballari for Karnataka polls: Supreme Court

New Delhi, May 4: The Supreme Court on Friday ordered that mining baron Gali Janardhana Reddy, who is currently out on bail, cannot campaign in Ballari for the upcoming May 12 Assembly elections in Karnataka.

According to media reports, Reddy had sought Apex Court’s permission as he wanted to campaign for his brother Somasekar Reddy, who is a BJP candidate from Ballari.

The top court rejected Janardhana Reddy’s plea as it didn’t find any merit in it. The court added that Reddy is out on bail and he cannot visit Ballary because of the conditions.

On 2 May, the Congress had accused the Narendra Modi government of shielding Karnataka’s Reddy brothers through “CBI-manufactured clean chit” in the illegal mining scam.

Talking to reporters, Congress leader Rajiv Shukla had said the “scam was established” by the then Lokayukta Santosh Hegde, but still the BJP had given tickets to “Reddy Brothers and their associates” for the May 12 assembly polls.

He said that the Congress government in Karnataka had pre-empted the “manufactured clean chit” to the Reddy brothers by refusing to accept the closure by CBI on March 19 this year and had ordered an intensified probe through a Special Investigation Team.

The Congress leaders added that Modi government has become the benefactor, protector, defender of the ‘Ballari Gang’ responsible for denuding Kannadigas of their rich natural resources through a puppet CBI.

Comments

If BJP and JDS wins Yeddy and Reddy brothers will get to loot Karnataka's wealth for the second time.

If BJP wins ,Karnataka's, state language kannada will be replaced with Hindi

Karnataka will become just like Bihar.

So please vote for Congress! and save Kannada

True

Even after knowing evrything, if people voted again then should not blame corrupted reddys. Should blame foolish people then

BJP making them to loot more.. Maybe training them to make another Modi to loot more

Shameless PM. They are telling that they work against corruption and made all criminals and corrupted leaders are as candidates

See the irony. Feku promised to curb corruption. Now shared a stage with corrupted reddy brothers and they are candidates too

Reddy cant campaign, but he can pour money

Narayana Murthy’s son-in-law Rishi Sunak named new Britain’s Finance Minister

Agencies

February 13,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 13: UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer Sajid Javid quit the Boris Johnson government as part of a cabinet reshuffle unfolding on Thursday and has been replaced by Rishi Sunak, reports said.

Indian-descent Sunak, 39, who is married to Akshata, the daughter of Infosys co-founder N.R. Narayana Murthy, was Chief Secretary to the Treasury since July 2019.

An analyst with Goldman Sachs before joining politics in 2014, Sunak, whose grandparents were from Punjab and emigrated to the UK from east Africa, is MP from Richmond (Yorkshire). He was Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Local Government in the Theresa May government.

Pakistani-descent Javid, who became the first Asian to become a Cabinet Minister when he was made Secretary of State of culture, Media and Sports in the David Cameron government in 2014 after stints as Economic Secretary to the Treasury (2012-13) and Financial Secretary (2013-14), was earlier the Home Secretary in the the Theresa May government.

He had then cleared absconding businessman Vijay Mallya's extradition to India in February last year following the decision by the Westminister Magistrates Court in December 2018.

Javid, who ran for Conservative Party leadership after May quit but lost to Boris Johnson, was made Chancellor by the later. In the reshuffle on Thursday, he was offered to retain his post if he fired all his advisors but declined and quit, the BBC reported.

SC upholds validity of Karnataka reservation law on SC, ST promotions

News Network

March 19,2020

New Delhi, Mar 19: The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the validity of Karnataka's 2018 reservation law, which granted reservation in promotion to employees belonging to SC and ST categories.

A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud holds that applications filed by a group of general category employees for applying 'post-based quota' and the principle of the creamy layer at entry-level in public employment are not maintainable.

The apex court had, in November last year, reserved its order on the applications filed by general category candidates in the matter.

In May last year, the top court had upheld the law allowing reservations in promotions for SC and ST candidates with consequential seniority.
