Udupi: Yeddyurappa hails Kalladka Bhat; asks CM to drop Ramanath Rai

Udupi, Jun 24: Former chief minister and Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa has demanded the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to drop Minister for Forests and Environment B Ramanath Rai for directing a Superintendent of Police of Dakshina Kannada to arrest RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat if the latter attempted to disrupt peace in the society.

Addressing presspersons here on Friday, Mr. Yeddyurappa said Mr. Bhat was a sincere person and any attempt to arrest him without rhyme or reason would be illegal. Mr. Rai was indulging in such acts because he wanted to appease a particular community, he said.

Mr. Yeddyurappa said that Mr. Siddaramaiah had not followed protocol by not accompanying President Pranab Mukherjee during the latter’s visit to Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple on June 18. This despite the fact that Vishvesha Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Mutt had requested him to visit the temple.

Mr. Yeddyurappa said that he had allocated Rs. 40 crore to develop Kaginele, the birthplace of Kanakadasa, during his tenure as Chief Minister.

The government had woken up late to the problem of farm loan waiver. A large number of farmers had committed suicide in the State and nearly 25% had repaid their loans in the last four to five months. The State government should bring farmers who had repaid loans under the ambit of the waiver.

The State government had not been able to solve the sand extraction problem in the Coastal districts. Though the Union government was giving priority to the construction of national highways, the lack of sand had affected its development and also the progress of other developmental projects.

There was lot of corruption in the implementation of various works of State government.

The State government should stop accusing the Union government of step-motherly treatment. The Centre had been releasing funds to the State regularly for all Centrally-sponsored schemes, Mr. Yeddyurappa said.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: With preparations underway for conducting exams for the final semester/ year students in the state, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr CN Ashwathnarayan on Monday directed the respective universities to conduct exams for the backlog papers as well.

"In the wake of COVID-19, it has been decided to hold exams only for the students of final semester/year courses. It has come to our notice that some universities have decided against conducting exams for final year students who have a backlog to clear from previous semesters. This is unpardonable," the Deputy Chief Minister said.

"Our intention is to see that the final year students finish their course. In the present situation, conducting only final semester exams won't help. We have to help the students in clearing their backlogs," added Ashwathnarayan, directing all universities to compulsorily conduct these exams.

Meanwhile, Ashwathnarayan thanked the staff and officials of various government departments who were responsible for successfully conducting the CET exams even amidst the difficult situation in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

"In all, 1,94,419 students had registered for the CET exams, of which 1,75,428 wrote the exams. The percentage of students who took up the exams this year was equivalent to that of the previous years, in normal times," the DCM informed.

"After we successfully conducted the exams, Arunachal Pradesh is going to conduct the Public Service Commission exams on the lines of how we successfully conducted the exams. Likewise, even our KPSC has said it will conduct the exams. We must appreciate the good work of the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), which has set an example for others," Ashwathnarayan said.

The deputy chief minister said that 33 colleges in various districts across the state faced shortage of land and that it is the responsibility of the District Commissioners (DCs) to get the lands sanctioned for all these colleges.
In Bagalkot district alone land has not been sanctioned for six degree colleges, he said.

Reacting to this, Bagalkot DC Captain Rajendra assured to look into the matter as soon as he receives the proposal from department officials.

"Similarly, there is shortage of land for five Diploma colleges and 28 ITI colleges in different parts of the state. The DCs must immediately pay attention to this. Once they get the land, buildings will come up within no time," the Karnataka deputy chief minister said.

Bengaluru, May 17: Left to itself, Karnataka will look to spring back towards normalcy under Lockdown 4.0 as the state government is on standby to resume public transport services from May 18, if the Centre allows it. 

Though KSRTC and BMTC have been preparing for resumption of services, officials in the two corporations told DH that they cannot make a move till the government makes a decision.

Transport Commissioner N Shivakumar said the department will take a decision based on the state government's orders. "The government will take a call on buses as well as taxi and other transport services," he said.

Senior officials in the state government said Deputy Chief Minister and Transport Minister Laxman Savadi has written to Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari seeking a nod for resumption of the services. 

Transport Secretary Gaurav Gupta has written a separate letter to his counterpart in the Union government requesting permission to operate public transport. "The state government wants the services to open. The official has listed out the steps the corporations will take to ensure social distancing other steps that will be taken to check spread of Coronavirus," a source said.

The B S Yediyurappa administration has been bullish on easing lockdown restrictions. 

If the Centre empowers the states to define Lockdown 4.0, Karnataka is likely to do away with the red-orange-green zoning of districts and allow public services to resume, except in COVID-19 containment zones. The government is also likely to redefine its containment strategy by micromanaging localities where COVID-19 cases are reported, without letting life in an entire district get affected. 

The government has already shown willingness to allow hotels and gyms to open after May 17 subject to social distancing norms and restrictions. In fact, the government has proposed to allow the resumption of all economic activities in standalone establishments. The government, however, is not keen on opening malls, theatres, diners and establishments that have centralized air conditioning. 

“Everything depends on the Centre,” Deputy Chief Minister CN Ashwath Narayan said. “Our only stand is that the red zone should be treated at par with the other zone when it comes to relaxation.”
