Hubbali, Jul 16: JD(S) supremo Deve Gowda said that the Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy-led government will publish a whitepaper on the total funds allotted for each district of the state by various governments from 1956.

He added that this the government would go public with this document during the next assembly session. The whitepaper on the contribution of all governments for the development of north Karnataka will be presented with statistics.

"The whitepaper will prove who has done injustice to the northern region. Our government has not meted out any injustice to north Karnataka," he claimed.

Defending the coalition government's meager budget allotment for the development of northern districts of Karnataka (9% of total); Deve Gowda told reporters in Hubballi, on Sunday, that he would ask the CM to hold a two-day special Assembly session to discuss those issues.

The opposition and mass media have been terming the 2018 state budget a 'Vokkaliga budget'. "This is not true. Lingayats have ruled this state for 25 years. What is their contribution to north Karnataka? Crores of rupees have been allotted for north Karnataka. If you say that development is not apparent; then where did the money go? To the houses of politicians?" Gowda asked.

Rahul as PM

Gowda said he has no problem with AICC president Rahul Gandhi becoming prime minister.

"We are part of coalition and have no problem supporting the Congress at the Centre. I am in no position to lead the anti-BJP third front now."

"There is no clarity on the third front now," Gowda uttered, ruling out a pre-poll alliance for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

"The direction and shape of third front will emerge clearly post 2019 polls," he opined.

In the wake of Saudi Arabia's assurance that Masjid al-Haram of Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi of Madinah will be opened for believers after some days, a message has gone viral on social media claiming that both the holy mosques will open on Ramadan 8 (May 1).

The message which was widely circulated on Facebook and WhatsApp, also contained certain condition such as people should fetch their own prayer mats and that they should not use the washrooms in the mosques. 

Clarification

Meanwhile, the authorities of the two holy mosques, issued a clarification that the claims made in the viral post are false and baseless.

"The message being circulated about the opening date for Haramiain (two holy mosques) for public is completely baseless and false. The suspension of prayers for general public is still in effect," they said in a social media post.
