Mangalore, August 13: “I believe in politics of love and trust, though the present political scenario is full of hatred, acrimony and enmity. And, This is my 'mantra' for success,” these were the words of D V Sadananda Gowda, the new Chief Minister of Karnataka, who was offered an exciting reception at Sangh Niketan, the local headquarters of RSS, by activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday.

Addressing a large number of enthusiastic BJP activists, Mr Gowda said “I began a state-wide tour from this Sangh Niketan, where I was inspired and learnt hard work and discipline.”

“Just like you people, I too haven't dreamt of becoming the Chief Minister. When I met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on courtesy call recently, he said that he too became politician and then Prime Minister accidentally just like me,” he said and added that his political career was accompanied with challenges.

Admiring the 'architectures of Dakshina Kannada' U Srinivas Mallya and T M A Pai, he said that he would also follow their footsteps in terms of development.

He said he would provide clean, efficient, and corruption-and-nepotism-free administration during his tenure.

Mangalore M P Nalin Kumar Kateel said that D V Sadananda Gowda has been a guiding inspiration for the young politicians. “When I was struggling to raise any questions in Lok Sabha, it was Mr Gowda who stood by me and encouraged me to speak Kannada in Lok Sabha,” he said.

“Mr Gowda was the first Chief Minister from Dakshina Kannada after the patrician of twin districts, and he will be in office for full time,” he said with full-throated enthusiasm.

Dakshina Kannada District In-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar requested the Chief Minister to sanction the grant to construct the houses for 1,064 people belonging to Koraga community in the district. He also urged the CM to release an amount of Rs 1,000 crore for the overall development of this coastal district.

BJP Presidents of eight Vidhansabha Constituencies offered a grand flower garland to the CM.

Mangalore South MLA N Yogesh Bhat, Mayor Praveen Anchan, Pratap Simha Nayak, ZP President Shailaja Bhat, Shrikar Prabhu, and Sadananda Gowda's wife Datty Gowda were among those present.

Bengaluru, July 28: Former prime minister and JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda today threatened to launch a state-wide agitation in against the amendments made to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.

Gowda’s opposition to the new law comes even as Congress leader Siddaramaiah is also doggedly pursuing it.

Demanding that the state government immediately rollback the ordinance empowering these amendments, the octogenarian leader said he personally would take to streets if the government failed to budge.

The B S Yediyurappa government has liberalised the land reforms law by removing restrictions on non-agriculturists from purchasing and owning farm lands.

The government has also amended the APMC Act and has tweaked labour laws, which are all “against the interest of the state and must be rolled back,” Gowda said.

Speaking to reporters here, Gowda stated that he had already written thrice to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa in this regard. "The ordinances have to be taken back. The amendments to Karnataka Land Reforms Act, by repealing sections 79-A, B and C, is an anti-farmer move. The APMC Act amendment, too, is against the interest of the state. The government has failed to speak about the impact of these amendments," said Gowda, who is now a Rajya Sabha member.

Elaborating on the amendment to the Land Reform Act, the JD(S) patriarch opined that by throwing open agricultural land ownership to anybody at all, the government was only helping real estate developers while pushing farmers into a “vulnerable” situation.

Amidst all this, there are now reports of funds misappropriation in Covid-19 relief measures and in procurement of medical equipment, he said, adding that it seemed like only the corrupt became stronger over time.

Further, Gowda lambasted both national parties for creating political unrest, referring to the ongoing political crisis in Rajasthan and the recent developments in Madhya Pradesh. However, he added that he would not wish to dwell on it much, while emphasising that his focus was primarily on strengthening his own party at this point in time.
