Siddaramaiah diverting Yettinahole funds, alleges HDK

Bengaluru, Mar 20: JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Saturday accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Congress legislators from Kolar and Chikkaballapur of siphoning off money meant for the Yettinahole drinking water project.

hdkAddressing the JD(S) workers at the Palace Grounds, he said the government had claimed to have already spent Rs 1,800 crore on the project, but nothing had been done on ground. “Except for the pipeline-laying work, nothing has happened. Where did all the money go? A chunk of this money appears to have reached the pockets of the chief minister and the Kolar legislators,” he added.

The Congress government has been looting money in the name of development, especially the irrigation and the drinking water projects. Siddaramaiah has weakened the Karnataka Lokayukta in order to protect himself and his tainted ministerial colleagues, he said.

The money borrowed by the government for the sake of development is being misused. The same money will be used during elections in order to buy votes. This is precisely the reason why no development is happening in Bengaluru despite the government earmarking crores of rupees in the budget, he said.

Kumaraswamy charged Siddaramaiah with completely neglecting the ailing agriculture sector in the 2016-17 budget and promised to waive off all kinds of farm loans if his party was voted to power in the 2018 Assembly elections.

New Delhi, Jul 9: The Central Board of Secondary Education has strongly defended its decision to drop topics like democratic rights, citizenship, federalism, secularism etc in the name of reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic. 

The board has claimed that the dropped lessons "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

The CBSE said it had to come up with the clarification after realizing its decision was "interpreted differently".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

While it has said that no questions can be asked from the reduced syllabus in the next board exams, the CBSE has also directed schools to follow alternative calendars prepared by the NCERT.

"Therefore each of the topics that have been wrongly mentioned in media as deleted have been covered under Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT which is already in force for all the affiliated schools of the Board," it clarified.

On Wednesday, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee tweeted: "Shocked to know that the central Government has dropped topics like citizenship, federalism, secularism and partisan in the name of reducing CBSE course during the COVID crisis."

"We strongly object to this and appeal the HRD Ministry to ensure these vital lessons aren't curtailed at any cost," Banerjee added.
