Parrikar, BJP playing 'double game' over Mahadayi: Kumaraswamy

Bengaluru, Dec 22: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Friday said Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar was continuing to humiliate and discriminate against Karnataka and Kannadigas.

Reacting to the developments concerning the Mahadayi water dispute over the last two days, Kumaraswamy said that the people of north Karnataka should not count on the assurances made by the BJP leaders, as they would be hoodwinked.

Speaking to reporters here, Kumaraswamy said Parrikar, while assuring water to Karnataka on humanitarian grounds, had, however, told the Goa media that the dialogue would be initiated only if the BJP comes to power in the state (Karnataka).

"Parrikar has said that he trusts only B S Yeddyurappa and not the Karnataka chief minister, and that by the time the talks are initiated, the BJP will be in power in Karnataka. His letter to Yeddyurappa is just a ploy to ensure that the BJP wins the next Assembly elections. The BJP leaders are indulging in a double game," he said.

Kumaraswamy said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had written 10 to 15 letters to the Goa chief minister since 2015, but to no avail.

"The central BJP leaders are trying to mislead the voters - they are indulging in cheap politics. If Parrikar doesn't trust the Karnataka chief minister, then who will he discuss the matter with?"

Kumaraswamy said Parrikar had also told the media in Goa that the state would set up pumping stations, which would be monitored by the Goan authorities.

Mangaluru, Jan 5: Against the backdrop of Mangalore violence of December 19, Additional Director General of Police of Karnataka Amar Kumar Pandey visited the city and held a meeting with senior police officers.

According to senior police officials here on Sunday, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi District Muslim Central Committee had planned to hold a protest against CAA at Nehru Maidan while the SKSSF had called for anti-CAA protest at State Bank area.

Though both the protests had been called off, there was an apprehension of a repeat incident of December 19 violence and hence the ADGP visited the city at the behest of state government and monitored the situation here for the entire day on Saturday.

The ADGP was unhappy that despite initial inputs and the imposition of Section 144 in the city, the situation on that day escalated to a level where police had to resort to firing only in this city.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the state government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household in the wake of the coronavirus spread.

"Karnataka government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household to fight against COVID-19," Kumaraswamy told media.

The JDS leader further stated that "appropriate medication should be provided to those who are "symptomatic" by the Karnataka government and added that "by taking such measures the government can halt the spread of the virus."

If the government is not able to provide the health kit to everyone then at least they should give it to the BPL families, he added.

Kumaraswamy also stressed upon organising awareness campaigns about the coronavirus and use of supplements among the masses to prevent themselves from contracting the infection.

According to the Union Health Ministry, Karnataka has recorded 38,843 cases of COVID-19 to date.
