Mangalore, October 29: No BJP leaders are in the list of JD(S) inclusion at the moment, including Haladi Srinivas Shetty, said HD Kumaraswamy, Former Chief Minister and JD(S) State President.

Responding to a query on BJP leaders joining JD(S) ahead of Assembly polls, at a press meet in Mangalore on Monday, Mr. Kumaraswamy said that no BJP leader is in the immediate list of people to be inducted into JD(S) including Kundapur MLA Haladi Srinivas Shetty. “I have not met him (Mr.Haladi) personally although it is true that I did speak to him over the phone a couple of times. He has sought more time. No BJP leader is in our list at present. There are a few who are expressing displeasure with the BJP and are looking to part ways but they have not approached us”, he said.

Mr. Kumarswamy said that the BJP's internal conflicts are not facilitating addressing of people's problems in the state. “They are busy with their own infighting. Some responsible leaders within the BJP are giving contradictory and inconsistent statements. How can they concentrate on addressing people's problems? They have instead compounded people's problems. They are yet to waive off farmers' loans but have already cast an additional tax burden of 0.5% VAT” he said.

The Former Chief Minister also said that Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar must place before the people details as to how far has the government implemented the projects and amount set aside for projects in the state budget. Mr. Kumaraswamy also slammed AICC chief Sonia Gandhi for stating that the centre had given Rs. 80,000 crore to Karnataka, saying that the money is tax payer's money which the government is bound to give to every state. “What else have they given other than the minimum basic amount that needs to be given?” he questioned.

SM Krishna's return to the state will not have any impact on JD(S), Mr. Kumaraswamy said. “The SM Krishna of 1999 and SM Krishna of today are different entities. The circumstances then were also different compared to those of today. His return has only fuelled more insecurity and internal conflict in the Congress camp”, he said.

Mangaluru, May 26: Days after the government of India approved the use of chartered flights for the repatriation of Indians stranded across the world amidst covid-19 lockdown, two NRI entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia have offer to bear the cost of repatriation if they get formal green signal to repatriate stranded Indians from Dammam to Mangaluru International Airport before June 5.

Althaf Ullal and Basheer Sagar, the two Kannadiga Directors of Al Khobar-based Saqco, have made this offer in a letter written to Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri.

The duo have assured that their company will bear the cost of the first chartered flight from Dammam to Mangaluru if the government paves way for its operation by June 5.

It is learnt that many private airliners have come forward to operate chartered flight and are waiting for final clearance from the government. It will cost approximately Rs 45 lakh to hire chartered flight with 180 capacity from Dammam to Mangaluru.

Pregnant women, medical emergency cases, senior citizens on visit visas, those who lost jobs due to lockdown among other stranded Indians will be given priority in this flight, they said.

"Our company will completely bear this cost. Passengers only need to bear the cost of institutional quarantine after reaching Mangaluru," they have clarified.
