Media Release
November 20, 2019

Mysuru, Nov 20: Demanding stringent action against those behind attack on former minister and sitting Congress MLA Tanveer Sait, the Social Democratic Party of India has urged the political parties not to politicise the issue.

Addressing a press meet here today, Abdul Majeed, National Gen. Secretary, SDPI, said attack on a peoples’ representative in front of the public shows that how dreadful the incident was. Such incidents create unrest and anxiety in the society.

Congratulating the police for arresting the accused, he urged the police to probe the incident appropriately and reveal the real motives behind the incident. “The culprit must be punished for the crime. SDPI has full trust and hopes on police that they will investigate this matter impartially and will not arrest and use innocents in this matter,” he said.

He said: “The political leaders must have some sense that their misleading and stressful statements will badly impact on the good atmosphere of the society. It's the habit of BJP and Congress to politicize any incidents happened and diverting it to their benefits.”

He said, some political leaders’ assertion in politicizing the incident is a reflection of their irresponsible and misleading attitude. “SDPI strongly condemns such irresponsible behavior. These leaders should need to be matured and know their responsibility by quitting their habits of defining every incidents beneath their nose and giving wrong messages to the society. They must understand that their assertions shall carry truth and sincerity.”

“We have been observing that there are some evil attempts to connect the Mysuru incident to SDPI. We clarify here that there is no any connection between SDPI and Mysuru incident. SDPI is growing across the nation as an alternate political party with the dream of building a popular, secure and equally developed society. In view of gaining massive popularity by SDPI in the nation through creating awareness, intellectualism and political empowerment, the vested interests are taking part in the conspiracies of spreading falsehood and concocted allegations to tarnish the image of the party,” he said.

Devanoor Puttananjaiah, State Vice President, SDPI, Kumaraswamy, State Secretary, SDPI and Abrar Ahmed State Committee Member, SDPI where present at the press meet.

Bengaluru, Jan 6: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa has plenty on his plate ahead of the 2020-21 state budget to be presented on March 5 what with the economic slowdown and a sizeable shortfall in revenue, but the biggest worry is the uncertainty surrounding Goods and Services Tax (GST) compensation from the Centre.

There is also uncertainty over the state’s share under devolution of funds as per the 14th Finance Commission recommendation.

Finance department officials say that while Rs 3,500 crore is expected as GST compensation for every two months, the devolution of funds would have yielded about Rs 7,000 crore for the current fiscal. But the economic slowdown appears to have hit the Centre’s finances and is likely to impact the state’s share of funds.

“The GST payment for August-September came only in December and we are unsure how much we will get for October-November and December-January,” an official said. Estimates suggest the state’s share under devolution of funds could be reduced by half.

At a meeting of finance department officials last week, Yediyurappa is said to have admitted that unlike those states where non-BJP parties are in power — they have threatened agitations and court cases — the government cannot go “against” Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s regime.

Instead, Yediyurappa has urged senior IAS finance department officials to lobby for funds with their counterparts in New Delhi. On his part, Yediyurappa is said to have already written to Modi and finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman to at least release the state’s share of GST compensation for the current calendar year of 2019. He is planning to personally meet the PM in Delhi to push the state’s case.
