Sannathammaiah, a Dalit at Marle village, played host to the BJP heavyweight and his entourage of MP and MLAs, serving them akki rotti, palya, chutney and upma.

Lakshmi, the elated wife of Sannathammaiah, said, “It’s a matter of joy that Yeddyurappa has come to our house. I had prepared akki rotti and uppittu (local parlance for upma) for him.”

Yeddyurappa, who was accompanied by MLC Pranesh and MLAs C T Ravi and D N Jeevaraj during the time, also visited Kencharaya Temple.

He enquired a senior citizen Mahalingamma about the old age pension. Addressing a gathering during the Janasamparka Abhiyhan at the village, he said, “The opposition parties indulge in negative publicity against the BJP leaders dining at Dalits’ houses. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah though has completed four years in office, has not even called on the Dalits to enquire about their travails even for once. Similar is the attitude of ministers who don’t have time for marginalised community.

Yeddyurappa also alleged that the state government has dropped Bhagyalakshmi Scheme launched by previous BJP government.

Continuing his tirade against the Congress party, Yeddyurappa said that while the Congress has ignored the ideals espoused by Dr B R Ambedkar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi succeeded in invoking Ambekdar’s principles at Lok Sabha. The Centre has also taken measures to identify and develop five places associated with the Dalit icon as a pilgrimage centre, the former chief minister said.

Highlighting the recent decision of the governments at Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra to waive farmer loans, Yeddyurappa said Siddaramaiah intentionally did not follow the suit, and instead pointed at the Centre to make a move.

New Delhi, May 29: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 1.2 crore on Karnataka Bank Limited for non-compliance of asset classification, divergence and provisioning norms.

"The penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers vested in RBI under the provisions of Section 47 A (1) (c) read with Section 46 (4) (i) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. 

This action is based on the deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers," the central bank said in a statement on Thursday.

According to the central bank, the statutory inspection of the bank with reference to its financial position as on March 31, 2017, and as on March 31, 2018, and the Risk Assessment Reports (RAR) pertaining thereto revealed, inter-alia, non-compliance with the directions issued by RBI.

Earlier, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed on it for non-compliance with the directions.

After considering the bank's reply to the notice, oral submissions made in the personal hearing and examination of additional submissions, RBI concluded that the charges of non-compliance with RBI directions warranted imposition of monetary penalty, according to a release.

This action is based on the deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.
