Karnataka to buy 5.6K more buses post success of free travel for women scheme

Bengaluru: Despite the warning by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and State Congress President D.K. Shivakumar to become the Chief Minister after 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Minister for Social Welfare H.C. Mahadevappa has said that Siddaramaiah will remain as the state Chief Minister for a full term of five years.

Speaking to the media on power sharing between Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar and a proposal to make current Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara as the Chief Minister in the eventuality of power sharing, Mahadevappa reacted angrily that Siddaramaiah will remain as the Karnataka Chief Minister for a full term of five years.

When asked about Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar not being invited despite his house located nearby, the Karnataka Minister said that he doesn’t have knowledge about it.

Talking about the dinner meeting of CM Siddaramaiah, Ministers Parameshwara, Satish Jarkiholi and himself, Mahadevappa added that there is nothing related to politics on this matter.

“Parameshwara had invited us to the dinner and we had attended it. No political matter was discussed there,” he said.

The infighting within the Congress in Karnataka had come out in the open, with the party MLA Ganiga Ravi on Friday stating that Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has worked hard for the party and will surely become the state Chief Minister after two-and-a-half years.

Bengalore: Coming down heavily on the Congress for demanding a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on the lines of the Popular Front of India, the ruling BJP has equated the PFI with the Congress. Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government.
