Mysuru, Jan 19: Taking a swipe at the Bharatiya Janata Party, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said that it’s unethical to misuse religion for political gains.

Speaking at the valedictory function of the Suttur Jathra Mahotsava, CM said that a political party in India is expert in misusing religion for political gains and fooling people

He said the Congress government would not allow any party to divide society on caste and community lines, and would curb forces trying to create enmity and unrest among people.

He urged people to be weary of divisive forces and said it was inhuman to divide society for “political benefits”.

He also said he had lived up to the expectations of the public and fulfilled the promises made in the 2013 poll manifesto. Listing his government’s achievements, he said they had distributed over 1.8 lakh laptops to students who had passed PU, irrespective of caste.

Stop your political publicity stunt mr. siddu. You are using religion and faith for your votes. You used Tipu matter to get Muslim votes and support.

Actually both BJP and Congress wont do anything that completely harm rival party. They are in good relation in background. Only poor brainless workers being scapegoats for them. In front of public they will oppose each other and and blame each other

Bengaluru, Apr 21: Alarmed by reports that 53 media persons have contracted coronavirus in Maharashtra, a Minister on Tuesday urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to screen all the journalists in Karnataka.

During the regular Covid-19 related briefing on Monday, a reporter had raised the issue of 53 journalists in the neighbouring state testing positive for the disease, with Minister for Primary and Secondary Education S Suresh Kumar.

In Maharashtra, out of the 171 scribes examined medically, 53 were found to have the viral infection.

In his letter to the CM, Kumar said a similar test should be carried on the journalists in Karnataka.

"The journalists wanted a similar kind of screening to be carried out on them. Therefore, please direct the health and the information department immediately to conduct the screening of journalists who are in contact with public," Kumar said.

Tumakuru, Feb 5: Former Lokayukta Justice N Santhosh Hegde has questioned the integrity of the B S Yediyurappa led BJP government as it has not taken an action to abolish the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) to re-establish the Lokayukta in Karnataka.

Speaking after felicitating the retired scientist of NASA Gopal Iyengar at the Karnataka Public School at Kadaba in Gubbi taluk he reminded that the BJP had promised to establish the Lokayukta.

"No party will like to strengthen the Lokayukta and now BSY is also tightlipped and even put an end by appreciating that ACB has been doing a good job", he regretted.

In fact, the Lokayakuta had the power to prosecute even the top brass of officials and now the ACB cannot without the government's permission, he clarified.

He denied any remarks on the CAA and NRC but observed that the youths of the country have been misguided by the politicians as they lost their focus on education by involving in protest rallies.

"I suggest they to straight away take a political plunge instead of getting misused at the hands of the politicians with selfish motives", he said.
