Udupi, Jan 31: “I am proud of my daughter. Politicians may hate her but people love and respect her…,” says Radhakrishna Shenoy, father of Anupama Shenoy, a senior police officer who was transferred allegedly because of the high-handedness of Minister of State for Labour P.T. Parameshwar Naik.

anupama63-year-old Radhakrishna, who runs a canteen at Uchila village in Udupi district, is confident that her daughter is strong enough to handle tough situations in life.

“I have brought up my children under tremendous hardship. Hence they know how to survive when situations get worse,” he says.

Among his three children, the first son Aravind is an electronics engineer in Malaysia and the other Achutha is a field engineer. After BSc, Anupama completed Masters in Social Work before clearing the KAS examination.

“Anupama was a bright student and always wanted to be an officer. She has reached her position by the dint of her hard work,” Radhakrishna said.

“As a government servant and police officer Anupama has to go wherever she was transferred to by the Police Department. But it is also sad that those who do their work sincerely should be treated in this manner,” he laments.

Radhakrishna has been running the canteen in Uchila for the last 42 years. Though his children want him to stop running the canteen, he said: "I want to be financially independent and will run it till I die." Radhakrishna’s mother is a home maker and she used to roll out beedis until recently.

Parameshwara Naik has reportedly justified transferring Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kudligi sub-division in Ballari district Anupama Shenai for placing his call on hold.

Daughter of a poor man only can show guts to put a minister in his place by putting his call on hold. Kudos Kavita for having made your parents proud and also many citizens like me proud of your courage. Wish there are more (if not all) police officers and civil servants like you. Salute.

Mysuru, Jan 27: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday refused to field questions on the state’s finances, merely saying his budget on March 5 will do the talking. The question came in the wake of Siddaramaiah, leader of the opposition, claiming recently that the state’s coffers were dry and its finances were in the doldrums.

However, Yediyurappa insisted the state’s finances were sound and it will be better once promises made by the business community during his trip to Davos turn into concrete investment.

“I will present the budget for 2020-21 on March 5. People will then know about the state’s financial position,” Yediyurappa said during a visit to Suttur Mutt on Sunday. “I will answer Siddaramaiah’s comments during the forthcoming budget session of the state legislature. The Davos meet I attended will benefit the state immensely. It will bring huge investments that will promote industry and agriculture growth and various job-generation activities.”

Bengaluru, Apr 1: The price of petrol and diesel will go up by Rs 1.60 and Rs 1.59 per litre, respectively, from Wednesday. This is in line with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa’s decision to hike the rate of tax on petrol from 32% to 35% and diesel from 21% to 24%.

He had announced this in his March 5 Budget for 2020-21 fiscal. At present, a litre of petrol costs Rs 71.97 and diesel Rs 64.41 in Bengaluru.

The government decided to roll out the hike from Tuesday midnight going into Wednesday, April 1, after briefly considering a postponement in view of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Finance Secretary (Budget & Resources) Ekroop Caur confirmed to DH that the hike will be rolled out. 

The 3% hike on fuel tax was a key resource mobilisation measure that Yediyurappa announced in his Budget. The hike is expected to fetch the government Rs 1,500 crore. 

Yediyurappa had also announced a 6% additional excise duty on Indian Made Liquor (IML), which could help the government mop up Rs 1,200 crore. However, the sale of liquor has been prohibited during the lockdown period. Plus, hiking fuel prices during the lockdown will not hit citizens very hard.
