Moodbidri, Dec 25: Karnataka Minister for Tourism C T Ravi on Wednesday, defending the Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa's decision to withdraw the compensation announced to two dead in police firing, said that they were named in the FIR filed and if compensation was given it would result in pulling down the morale of police force.

He was responding to a question by reporters in the wake of government’s move to withdraw the compensation that was announced to the families of Abdul Jaleel and Nousheen who died in police firing in Mangaluru on December 19.

'The violence was conspired. If we look at the CCTV footages that were released recently, we can easily make out that it was pre-planed. The violence and clashes came under control after the police took adequate measures otherwise things would turn worst' Mr Ravi told reporters in Moodbidri.

Replying to another question by a reporter the minister added that the visuals of CCTV footage confirmed those died in police firing were not innocent and were involved in the violence against police.

Mandya, July 30: BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Wednesday said Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has done a commendable job in tackling the Covid-19 situation and floods and that the question of changing the leadership does not arise.

Karnataka on Wednesday reported 5,503 new cases of Covid-19 and 92 related fatalities, taking the total number of infections to 1,12,504 and the death toll to 2,147.

Speaking to reporters here, Kateel said, "Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi has gone to Delhi to discuss the projects sanctioned to state with the central minister. There is no need to read too much into it."

Replying to a query on graft charges against the BSY government by the Congress, Kateel said, "Congress national president, state unit president are out on bail in graft cases . Why did a Congress leader who calls himself a bande (rock) has approached court seeking stay on CBI probe? Before making any allegations against the government, they should think about 'irregularities' in Indira Canteen and housing schemes," he charged.

Instead of instilling confidence and hope among the people in these testing times, the Congress is unnecessarily creating fear with petty politics, he told reporters in Shravanabelagola, Hassan district.

"The Yediyurappa-led BJP government is working day and night to tackle the Covid-19. Similarly, several non-governmental organisations have joined hands with the government in the fight against the virus. But, the Congress is only creating confusion by issuing baseless statements," Kateel said.
