Panchayat canvassing hits new low as Ramya-HDK fight turns personal

February 18, 2016

Mandya, Feb 18: The verbal spat between former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy and former MP and actor Ramya has turned too personal with both hurling a torrent of abuses against each other.

The mild verbal attacks and counter attacks between Ramya and MP C S Puttaraju during the first two days of the campaign for the ZP and TP polls turned serious, with Kumaraswamy reacting to her statements.

Both Ramya and Kumaraswamy began washing dirty linen in the public after the latter targeted Ramya’s entry into the district, claiming that it has led to the rise in farmer suicides.

During his campaign in the district recently, Kumaraswamy had alleged that more than 100 farmers ended their lives after the Congress came to power and Ramya stepped into the district. “Don’t get lured by the colourful speeches made by film stars,” he had told the people.

Reacting to it, Ramya had said, while HDK is a film producer, his wife Radhika and his son are also actors. How can he disrespect artistes?, she asked.

Ramya also told that Kumaraswamy wears a gold watch at home and ordinary watch in public.

Replying to this, Kumaraswamy said, he had not insulted artistes, but had particularly mentioned the name of Ramya.

“Has Ramya come to my home to see me wearing gold watch? Why does Ramya speak about Radhika? It is a personal matter. Let Ramya tell what she was doing in London? She should be careful while speaking about others’ personal lives, he had warned.

Speaking to mediapersons, here, Ramya said, the JD(S) had raised questions about her personal life, when she was actually mourning the death of her father.

“They continued their attack even after my victory. Now, Kumaraswamy’s statements about farmers’ death has hurt me deeply,” she said.

Ramya said, she had been to London to study. “Let Kumaraswamy explain why he frequents Sri Lanka? I have the answers and also know to speak,” she warned.

Ramya said, her life is like an open book and she is not involved in any wrongdoing. “I don’t fear anyone and speak only the truth. I have visited Radhika’s house and know that Kumaraswamy wears gold watch. You own Hummer, Audi and BMW cars, but speak about others’ watches, is it right? she questioned.

JD(S) has support only in Mandya district. Kumaraswamy is targeting me out of fear of losing the hold on the district, she said.

Whats wrong with this HDK, for me he is a stupid leader. He always wants him to be in the media. I doubt he must have a kind of media maniac that need to be counselled and treated. As we all know that he is the son of JDS supremo Devegowda, it doesnt mean that he by himself built this Gowda empire. People know HDK bcoz of his father, ever since he is in to the politics he wants to be in the picture by any means. this man has hell of money (source God knows). Recently he got messed with Siddu about expensive watch and with poor Ramya. He is a big womenizer that everybody knows. He is a shameless politician that in karnataka nobody likes him. It is safe for him to enjoy his lavish life bestowed by his fathers property. don't simply drag our new faces in to your nasty business. Ramya we love you and we support you, don't ever indulge such people into your business. Adopt ignore and proceed policy. Yours loving Fan.......

Bengaluru, Jan 21: Braving the biting cold, chief minister BS Yediyurappa took time out of his busy schedule to go around Davos on Monday.

Clad in a long coat over a suit, scarf and leather gloves, Yediyurappa, with secretary S Selvakumar in tow, took in the sights of well-laid bylanes, quaint houses and snow-covered pine trees. He also rode a cable car at Persenn.

A cook from Andhra Pradesh, who works at an Indian restaurant in Davos, served the CM shavige uppittu and khara pongal for breakfast. Yediyurappa had chapatis and rice for dinner.

Meanwhile, Karnataka is likely to have a ‘Centre for Internet of Ethical Things’, perhaps, the world’s first, which will seek to ensure ethical practices in trade and businesses, besides addressing issues like misuse of artificial intelligence, a concern that has been bothering business leaders across the globe.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Yediyurappa signed an informal agreement with Murat Sonmez, the forum’s managing director, on Monday. "Investors around the globe are worried about unethical practices in business and a centre is the need of the hour," Sonmez was quoted as saying in a press release. "If the Karnataka government is serious about securing investment, it should set up the centre immediately."

Yediyurappa immediately responded to the suggestion by prompting Sonmez to write down an informal agreement on a sheet of paper which both signed. "This centre will go a long way in Karnataka’s history of industrial development," Sonmez was quoted as saying in a release by the Karnataka delegation.

At the inauguration of Karnataka’s pavilion, Yediyurappa promised all support to investors. "We are happy to be here and look forward to engage you on various development agenda," he said adding that he was keen to partner on certain strategic research that can help Karnataka become a major player on the global stage. "With Karnataka emerging as a leading industrial state in India, we can make it a major player on the global stage," he said.

Industries minister Jagadish Shettar, chief secretary TM Vijaya Bhasker and industries secretary Ramana Reddy were also signatories to the informal agreement.
