Udupi, May 31: Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has slammed the chief minister H D Kumaraswamy led-coalition government for what she felt the lack of importance given to the relief measures in the areas affected by heavy rain which had resulted in six deaths in Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts.

Speaking to presspersons here, the BJP leader said that such heavy rain had not been seen in both these districts, especially Dakshina Kannada, for a long time. But for the last fortnight, there has been no Ministry in the State, there was only a Chief Minister and a Deputy Chief Minister, she said.

Since the Congress and Janata Dal(S) politicians were busy lobbying for loaves and fishes of office, the bureaucrats had taken it easy. It was essential that Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy ordered the officers to give priority to providing relief and assistance in the rain-affected areas, she said.

To another query, Karandlaje said that it was imperative for Mr. Kumaraswamy to waive loans taken by farmers from nationalised banks and cooperative banks. This was because in the last four days, nearly 10 farmers had committed suicide in the State unable to bear the loan burden, she said.

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.
