Udupi, Oct 28: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP and BJP state general secretary Shobha Karandlaje on Saturday denied any involvement in the reported power purchase scam during BJP’s rule in Karnataka.

Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, Shobha said she is ready for a narco-analysis test, if required, to prove her innocence. 

A House committee headed by Energy Minister D K Shivakumar is readying a report, which purportedly has details about the scam that cost the state exchequer Rs 28,000 crore.

DKS-HDK meet

On Friday, Shivakumar held an hour-long meeting with JD(S) State president H.D. Kumaraswamy at his JP Nagar residence which led to speculation that the government was set to speed up probe into the scam.

The committee is probing into a complaint from Kumaraswamy about purchase of power to the tune of ₹28,000 core, allegedly violating norms. Shivakumar has convened a meeting of the committee on October 30, and had appealed to Kumaraswamy to attend the meeting to provide further details to substantiate his charge. 

Kumaraswamy had resigned from the committee, but his resignation was not accepted. Shivakumar had also said that the committee representatives would visit Kumaraswamy in his residence if he could not attend the meeting.

Kumaraswamy said the Energy Minister visited him to show him the draft of the committee report, which probed into the alleged power purchase scam.

“Shivakumar showed me draft of the report prepared by officials and invited to participate in the October 30th meeting,” Kumaraswamy said, adding that “no political issues were discussed”.

Sri Vishwakapriyattirtha Sripada, while donating the amount, delivered the message that in these difficult times in our country, the government has no sources of tax revenue but the cost of various departments especially public health expenses are increasing.

We leave three meals a week and distribute the money saved to those in need. We pray that India becomes the first COVID-19-free country in the world with all our efforts.

Bengaluru, May 26: After Yogi Adityanath said that no state can take manpower from Uttar Pradesh without his government's permission, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday termed the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's move as "unconstitutional" and "against the right to freedom of movement."

"Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's move to restrict hiring people of Uttar Pradesh is unconstitutional and goes against the right to freedom of movement. Mr Yogi, please note that UP is not the private property of your govt. The people of Uttar Pradesh don't need your government's permission to work anywhere in India," Shivakumar tweeted.

"Mr Yogi doesn't understand the basic rules of governance in a democracy. Such actions lack common sense and will only make the people of Uttar Pradesh suffer more. When it's convenient for BJP, it's One Nation, when it's not, it's different states and different people. Heights of hypocrisy," he added.

Adityanath had on Monday said that the state government will provide social security and insurance to labourers and no state can take manpower from Uttar Pradesh without his government's permission.

"If any state wants manpower, they cannot take our people from the state without our permission as there were reports of misbehaviour with them in other states. We are taking full responsibility for labourers' social security. We will provide every kind of security to them including insurance. Wherever they will go, we will always stand by them," Yogi said.

The Chief Minister said that skill mapping is being done in Uttar Pradesh and a commission will be set up for labourers to ensure employment for them.

On Sunday, Adityanath had ordered the formation of a 'Migration Commission' for the purpose of providing the workers, who have returned to the state during the lockdown phase, with employment suited to their skills.
