You will see my govt’s vision in 3 months: Kumaraswamy

Bengaluru, Jun 20: People will see the Congress-JD(S) coalition government’s work in full swing in another three months time, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy said on Tuesday.

“We’ll prove ourselves with action and implementation, not just with speeches,” Kumaraswamy told reporters during an interaction here. “In three months, you’ll be able to see the government’s long-term vision at work.”

Kumaraswamy said not a single minister in the government was wasting any time by staying in Bengaluru. “They’re out there reviewing their departments. Our government will not be complacent or forgetful,” he said, adding that he wanted to restart his popular Grama Vastavya initiative.

That the Congress was yet to fill up six Cabinet positions out of its quota of 22 would not come in the way of the government’s functioning, the chief minister said. “We’re 25 ministers now. The government is working effectively. There was a time when only three ministers ran the show,” he said, referring to former chief minister R Gundu Rao’s time.

Kumaraswamy reiterated his commitment toward waiving farmers’ loans. “I know a loan waiver isn’t the remedy. The waiver will not stop farmers from committing suicide, but it must be done. What I want to do is revamp the way farmers do agriculture. Similarly, I want to bring about reforms in the education, health and housing sectors,” he said.The government will, in a couple of days, hold a meeting with heads of nationalised banks to discuss the loan waiver.

He said he planned to present his budget in the first or second week of July. “I will convene a Cabinet meeting to discuss the budget session.” 

On what transpired in his meeting with Congress president Rahul Gandhi, Kumaraswamy said: “I did not complain against any Congress leader when I met him. I took his advice on many things. That’s all.”

Kumaraswamy revealed that his own staff were resisting his demand for a cut in his motorcade and security detail. “Also, I’ve decided to fly in a commercial flight as much as possible. Flying in a private plane will cost Rs 38 lakh, whereas commercial is just Rs 1 lakh. I can use the Rs 37 lakh to develop a village,” he said.

With an aim to provide water to stray animals in Mangaluru, an animal activist announced a project 'Jal' under which free water bowls will be distributed to the people across the city.

Tauseef Ahmed believes many animals and birds do not find source to drink water which leads to death.
"Finding clean and safe drinking water has been a major issue in a lot of places. We humans when we face some scarcity we manage by taking the water out from the well," Ahmed told ANI.

"Unfortunately, that's not the case with when it comes to animals and birds. They do not find sources for water to drink so they eventually end up drinking sewage water and they fall sick. In some cases, even that is not available and due to dehydration, they die," he added.

Under the "Jal" project, Ahmed will distribute free water bowls to the people and expects them to make equal efforts in saving the lives of the animals.

"So, this project "Jal" will be providing 100 free water bowls all over Mangaluru. We are distributing it free of cost. All you have to do is keep the bowls outside in the garden or any places where animals frequently visit. Every day, we just have to fill the bowls with water for the animals. It will help a lot of animals to survive in the harsh weather of summers," Ahmed highlighted.

"We have used cement to make the bowls which will keep the eater really cool. We are spending close to 74 rs per bowl. We have made around 100 bowls and will continue making it. We are trying to cover as many animals as we can," he said.

Bengaluru, Mar 2: The Opposition Congress and the JD(S) members protested in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly on Monday over the BJP leader Basavaraj Patil Yatnal's alleged derogatory remark against veteran freedom fighter H S Doreswamy.

Opposition Leader in the Assembly and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, raised the issue, immediately after the obituary reference of sudden demise of former Minister C Chanigappa, and sought permission from the Speaker to raise the issue of Yatnal's outburst in the House stating that the matter of hurling defamatory remark against Gandhian Doreswamy, by Mr Yatnal, was very much serious. However, the treasury bench members protested and urged the Speaker not to allow the matter to discuss as the issue was not in the agenda.

The Speaker, Vishveshwar Hegde Kageri, promised the Congress leader about permitting the issue after the House adopts resolution on the thanksgiving motion for the Governor's address of the joint House recently and asked Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to continue his reply to the Governor's address.

The opposition Congress and the JD(S) members, protesting the Speaker's action, trooped into the well of the house and raised slogans against the BJP government.

The Chief Minister continued his reply amidst the din before the Speaker adjourned the House for 30 minutes after the House adopted the thanksgiving motion to the Governor's Address.
