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, Apr 27: Janata Dal-Secular leader and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the government should work towards lowering the cost of living as the spending power of the consumer has weakened, and it should impose COVID cess on the ultra-rich.

"The economy won't bounce back within a very short period. It is important to lower the cost of living as the spending power of the consumer has depleted. The government must cut the petrol/diesel prices. The loss of revenue may be offset partially by imposing COVID cess on the ultra-rich," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"According to RBI and international economic assessment agencies, the GDP growth rate of the country is expected to fall to a historic low. Such a dire situation calls for citizen-centric measures like full or partial waivers of EMIs, rents, school fees, and other levies," he added.

Kumaraswamy further said that the government must announce schemes to save the livelihoods of people, especially those in the unorganised sector.

"It is high time the government announced schemes to save livelihoods of people, especially those in the unorganised sector. The government must provide immediate relief to farmers, construction workers, cab and auto drivers, garment workers, etc," the former Karnataka CM tweeted.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) had said on April 23 that India's economic growth is likely to hover between zero and 1.5 per cent in the current financial year as the extended COVID-19 lockdown slows down activity across most sectors.

India is under a nation-wide lockdown which was imposed on March 25 and later extended on April 14 to May 3 to stem the spread of coronavirus.
