Udupi, October 17: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President Dr G Parameshwar informed that congress leaders will meet Governor H R Bhardhwaj at the earliest demanding dissolution of state government as most of the ministers in the cabinet are facing charges of corruption and criminal misconduct.

Speaking to the media persons here on Sunday he said that if Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda has any respect for democracy and constitution then he should resign and dissolve the assembly to seek fresh mandate from the people, as 75 percent of his cabinet colleagues are party to all wrong decisions taken by the former chief minister Yeddyurappa who has been arrested for his involvement in land scam.

He said at least 14 ministers of Yeddyurappa ministry who are continuing in the current cabinet are involved in criminal misconduct. Ministers R Ashok, Yogeshwar, Renukacharya, Somanna and even state party chief K S Eshwarappa are facing corruption and cheating charges against whom complaints have been lodged, he alleged and added that Fisheries Minister Vasanth Asnotikar is alleged to be involved in fraud case involving nearly Rs 100 crore.

Denying the charges that the congress party has celebrated after the pronouncement of arrest warrant of Yeddyurappa, Parameshwar clarified that Congress party has not celebrated the arrest of the former chief minister.

“It is not an issue for celebration. But the party is of the strong opinion that the verdict of arrest warrant against Yeddyurappa by the court is triumph of truth and it is also a strong warning for those in public life irrespective of party affiliation that they cannot escape from law if they have done anything against the law,” he said.

Power crisis

He said that state government has failed to overcome power crisis too. “Contrary to the charges made by the government, the centre has released about 800 MW power besides supplying 70 per cent of the required coal for the power plants.

If government is really serious on the power situation, it should take an all party delegation to the centre to meet Prime Minister and Union Power minister to discuss and bring pressure on them to extend all required assistance in this direction. However this government has no confidence on the opposition parties,” he said.Referring to the draught situation in the state, he alleged that state government has not made any representation to the centre seeking help.

Replying to a query on the statement made by BJP state president K S Eshwarappa against congress leaders' involvement in illegal mining scam, Parameshwar said the congress party's stand is clear in this regard. It is still demanding CBI probe into the issue. If any of his party leaders are found guilty after the probe, the party will not oppose action against such guilty leaders, he added.

Airport bomb: Home minister refuses to call Aditya Rao a terrorist, accuses Opposition of appeasing minorities

News Network

January 22,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 22: Karnataka home minister Basavaraj Bommai today refused to respond when a journalist asked him why Aditya Rao, who was arrested on charge of planting bomb at Mangaluru International Airport, can’t be called a terrorist.

Responding to another query of another journalist on the sidelines of a private program, here, Mr Bommai said all airports in the state would soon have bomb disposal squads.

"After the Mangaluru airport bomb incident, a thought has been given to establishing bomb disposal squads near airports in the state. Hubballi and Kalburgi airports too will have them," he said.

He said, Aditya Rao resident of Udupi who has been in a frustrated state for not getting employment and earlier too arrested for hoax calls surrendered at the DGP office in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The Mangaluru police will take him into custody for investigations, he added.

Despite the suspect surrendering to the police, investigations into the case will continue, he said.

He further added, 'Irrespective of the organisations the accused belongs to, he will be punished.”

Explosives used in the Mangaluru airport bomb have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis and investigation. National Security Guards too were collecting details, he stated.

He then went on to slam Opposition parties over Mangaluru Airport bomb incident. “State police, on getting information about the suspected bag, had acted swiftly and diffused it. The opposition has resorted to politics and using the incident to appease minorities,” he said.

He also termed that the statements made by the opposition would instigate anti-national elements.
