Bengaluru, Aug 29: Debunking speculation that Congress leader Siddaramaiah was trying to destabilise the coalition government, chief minister Kumaraswamy has said that the former extended all the support for the smooth functioning of the government.

“It is only because of Siddaramaiah that we are running a secure government. He will not give any sort of support for such destabilising activities, and the government will complete its five-year tenure under the protection of Siddaramaiah himself,” said the CM and urged media not to spread unnecessary rumours.

Meanwhile, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Dinesh Gundu Rao, president also ruled out any serious differences between the coalition partners that would pose a threat to the stability of the State government.

He said that the coalition was forged in Karnataka to keep BJP at bay from getting to power. The Congress has clarity on the responsibilities that it should discharge to ensure the smooth functioning of the government, he said.

Regarding Siddaramaiah’s statement that he wanted to become CM once again, Rao said, “Siddaramaiah’s statements have been blown out of proportion. When the audience at a public meeting in Hassan district said that he should become CM again, Siddaramaiah responded in a casual manner that the wishes of the people would be fulfilled. Later, he has clarified that such development may take place only after the present government completes its term.”

When quizzed on Kumaraswamy’s recent statement that efforts were being made to destabilise his government, Rao said, “Kumaraswamy has not said that any Congress leader is trying to destabilise the government. His allegations are pointed towards the BJP,” he said. Rao alleged that to destablise the government, Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa was contacting Congress and JD(S) MLAs regularly.

Managluru, May 15: Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia deserve more attention from the government amidst covid-19 crisis as they remit huge amount of money to their home state and ultimately get no benefit, opined U T Khader, Mangaluru MLA.

The former minister held a video conference with stranded Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia on May 15 and assured to do his best to convince the Centre to operate more repatriation flights from Saudi Arabia to Karnataka.

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.
