Mangalore, February 23: Challenging Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa to list the achievements of the BJP government during his 1000 days of reign, Mangalore MLA UT Khader said the one and only achievement of the incumbent government is nothing but corruption.

He was speaking to media persons at a press meet held at the district Congress office here on Wednesday.

“When the first BJP government of Karnataka completed its 100 days, there was a celebration. When it completed one year, there was a celebration. When it completed two years the same celebration continued and now it is celebrating its 1000 days of power” Khader said adding that one cannot see any pro-people programme being introduced by the government and it is only busy with celebrations.

“Did this government provide a single site for anyone in any corner of the state in these 1000 days? Was it able to build a single High School or a Pre University College or a Degree College in any part of the state? No! But, still Mr Yeddyurappa proudly proclaims that Karnataka has bagged numero uno position in the development in the entire country,” he said.

Stating that the enlargement of the budget size and funds allocation are an annual phenomenon and they cannot be claimed as achievements, Khader said successful implementation of the programmes announced in the budget matters the most.

“The announcement of the previous budgets of this government has never been implemented so far and hence one can call these budget announcements as bundles of lies,” he said and predicted that same thing may happen in tomorrow's budget too.

Local Congress leaders Eshwar Ullal and Chandrahas Karkera were present along with the MLA at the press meet.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: Karnataka Minister CT Ravi on Wednesday said that time is ripe to bring in Uniform Civil Code in the country as there was a demand for "equality".

"Everyone talks about equality. Those who desired inequality in the past are now seeking equality. The time is ripe to bring Uniform Civil Code," he said.

The Minister said that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has been a part of the party's agenda since the time when BJP was formed in 1980.

"We spoke about article 370, we have done it, on Ayodhya issue, the Supreme Court has given its verdict. As the time comes we will do it," he said.

Bengaluru, May 15: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said that the new amendment in the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act will substantially aid the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce.

"Our motto is 'First Farmers'. The new amendment in the APMC Act will provide an opportunity for farmers to sell their produce directly to any purchase outside APMC or in other APMCs. This will help the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce," CM Yediyurappa tweeted.

"Amendment will not dilute the powers of the work of the APMCs. All these marketing activities will be monitored by the Directorate of State APMC. This new amendment Act will benefit farmers in improving their income & suffering from losses due to market fluctuations," the Karnataka CM added.

Yediyurappa further said that the amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022.

"This amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022. I want to clarify that we have not removed the APMC Act, we are only amending 2 sections of the APMC Act which enable farmers to sell their produce at the markets where they intend to," he tweeted.
