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.

Bengaluru, May 9: The bar owners in Karnataka, while welcoming the state government's decision to allow takeaway sales of liquor, said that the move is not going to benefit them much.

Venkatesh Babu, a Bengaluru-based bar owner said, "We welcome this move, our bar was closed for two months due to coronavirus crisis. We have been facing losses since then."

"The state government has told us to sell our stocks at maximum retail price (MRP). It is difficult for us to manage as the rent is high and we also have to pay salaries," he added.

The owner of Pingara Bar and Restaurant, Shivamogga said, "The government has said that is for parcel only and that too at MRP. There is no benefit to our business. We are only clearing the existing stock. They have given us time till May 17 and are not even giving us fresh stock. We are only allowed to sell what we have already."

Karnataka government in its Friday order allowed restaurants, pubs and bars to sell liquor at retail prices from May 9 till May 17, the day the third phase of lockdown is slated to end.

Earlier, the government had allowed the opening of liquor shops in order to mobilise revenue.

However, bars, pubs, restaurants were ordered to remain closed amid the COVID-19 lockdown.

Bengaluru, Mar 28: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief DK Shivakumar on Saturday appealed to the authorities to arrange transport for migrant workers, stating that it is appalling to see their plight as they are walking hundreds of kilometres to their villages amid COVID-19 lockdown.
"Appalling to see the plight of poor migrant workers who are walking hundreds of kms to their villages. We cannot abandon our citizens, especially children, and put them at risk. Appealing to the authorities to arrange transport. Please take sufficient safety precautions as well," Shivakumar tweeted.
Hundreds of people, comprising mostly of migrant workers and their families, gathered at the Lal Kua in Uttar Pradesh from Delhi, Gurugram and other places, to take buses to their respective destinations amid the lockdown.
While the Prime Minister Narendra Modi had imposed a nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, the Uttar Pradesh administration had decided to ply these buses to help thousands of migrant workers who were stuck in the national capital and had started returning on foot to their native places in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, among others.
