Congress wandering with a bag of false guarantees: PM Modi in poll bound Karnataka

This visit of the Prime Minister his seventh to Karnataka this year gains significance as the Election Commission is expected to announce the poll schedule for Assembly elections, due by May, in the next few days.

Making a powerful pitch for the return of the BJP government in Karnataka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday urged the people of the State where Assembly polls are due by May, to give the party a full majority for a stable government.
Stressing that fast-paced development was the need of the hour, he urged the people of Karnataka to help bring the State out of the "politics of manipulation". The BJP wanted to make the State a driving force of developed India, while the Congress looked at it as "an ATM that fills the treasury of its leaders", he alleged.
"Karnataka has seen a long period of opportunistic and selfish coalition governments. Karnataka has faced losses due to such governments. So, for fast-paced development of Karnataka, BJP's full majority, and stable government is needed," Modi said.
Addressing a mega public meeting here, he asked, "When no one gets full majority, will Karnataka be in bad shape or not? Do you want a strong and stable government or not? Do you want a government with full majority or not? "The first job should be to bring Karnataka out of the politics of manipulation and take it forward at a fast pace," he said.

The Karnataka government on Friday announced its decision to abolish the four per cent quota for ‘religious minorities’ and add it to the existing quota of two dominant communities of the poll-bound state.

The decision comes ahead of the assembly elections.
Briefing reporters after the cabinet meeting, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the religious minorities quota would be done away with and brought under the 10 percent pool of the EWS group without any change of condition.
&ldquo;The four per cent (reservation for minorities) will be divided into two between 2C and 2D. The four per cent reservation for the Vokkaligas and others will enhance to six per cent and Veerashaiva Panchamasali and others (Lingayats), who were getting five per cent reservation will now get seven per cent,&rdquo; the CM explained.

Son caught taking bribe: Karnataka MLA steps down from post, claims conspiracy 

After his arrest after allegedly accepting a bribe, Lokayukta sleuths recovered unaccounted cash of more than rupees six crores from the house of BJP MLA K Madal Virupakshappa&rsquo;s son Prashanth.

&nbsp;Lokayukta sleuths recovered unaccounted cash of more than Rs six crore from the house of BJP MLA K Madal Virupakshappa&rsquo;s son Prashanth, close on the heels of his arrest after allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 40 lakh.
Following the Lokayukta action against his son, the BJP MLA tendered his resignation as KSDL Chairman, even as he claimed that the raid by the anti-graft agency was a conspiracy against him and his family.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai promised an impartial probe into the matter.
Prashanth, the chief accountant of the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board, was caught red-handed on Thursday evening while accepting the bribe from a contractor at the Karnataka Soap and Detergents Limited (KSDL) office.
Within hours of the trap, a team of Lokayukta officials raided his house and recovered the unaccounted cash.
Virupakshappa, MLA from Channagiri constituency in Davanagere district, is the chairman of KSDL and Prashanth was allegedly receiving "first installment" of the bribe on behalf of his father, according to Lokayukta sources.
Virupakshappa on Friday tendered his resignation from the post.
In his resignation letter sent to the chief minister, he said there is no "relation" between him and the Lokayukta raid, which he termed as a conspiracy against him and his family.
"Despite that since an allegation has been levelled against me, I am taking moral responsibility and submitting my resignation from the post of KSDL Chairman". he said.
Karnataka Lokayukta Justice (Retd) B S Patil said on Friday Rs 2.02 crore was recovered from the KSDL office and Rs 6.1 crore from Prashanth's house.
"Five persons (including Prashanth) have been apprehended and they have been taken into custody", he said. FIR has been registered.
Meanwhile, Bommai promised an impartial inquiry and said those who have committed any wrongdoing must be punished. "This is the stand of the government".
He pointed out the incumbent government re-established the Lokayukta to check corruption.
"In the absence of the anti-corruption institution so many incidents had taken place during the Congress regime and were also hushed up", the Chief Minister said.
"Congress ministers and MLAs had 59 charges (against them) but it was hushed up as there was (only) ACB (Anti-Corruption Bureau). Once that is enquired by the Lokayukta, truth will come out", he said.
The action against Prshanth was proof that the Lokayukta has been revived to contain corruption unlike the previous Congress regime which created a separate ACB apart from the Lokayukta to "cover up their wrong deeds," Bommai said.
Due to the lack of a strong Lokayukta in the past, many corruption cases during the Congress regime could never get investigated, Bommai told reporters in Bengaluru.
"We have been repeatedly saying we will conduct impartial probe. Our stand in this case as well is that the independent Lokayukta institution will carry out impartial investigation and whoever has done wrong will face action. There is no change in our stand," Bommai said.
"All the information and the money found there everything is now with the Lokayukta. Let an independent and justified investigation take place. Our objective is that the truth should come out like whose money it was and for what purpose it was meant," he added.
Regarding Congress state president D K Shivakumar's statement that this incident was a proof that the current BJP government is 40 per cent commission government, Bommai said there were many corruption charges against Congress MLAs and ministers but they covered it up by creating the ACB.
He also said many corruption cases during the Congress regime have been given to the Lokayukta, which will investigate and bring out truth.

Karnataka hijab ban: SC agrees to set up bench to hear plea of Muslim girls for nod

Following the apex court's split verdict on the issue of ban on sporting the Islamic headscarf in educational institutions in Karnataka.&nbsp;

The Supreme Court Friday said it will set up a three-judge bench to hear a plea of Muslim girl students to sit for examinations in Karnataka government schools while wearing hijab.
&ldquo;I will create a bench,&rdquo; said a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala when a woman lawyer sought urgent hearing of the plea saying girls are on the verge of losing another academic year as the exams are being held in government schools which are not permitting wearing of headscarf.
Initially, the CJI said the matter will be listed for hearing after Holi vacations.
The examinations are scheduled to be held after five days, the lawyer said, adding, &ldquo;They have missed one year. They will miss another year.&rdquo; On being told by the bench that the matter has been mentioned on the last day before the vacation, the lawyer said it has been mentioned twice earlier.
Without specifying the date, the bench then said it will create the bench.
The matter was last mentioned for urgent hearing by lawyer Shadan Farasat on behalf of the students.
The court had said it will take a call on listing a plea for allowing Muslim girl students to sit for examinations in Karnataka government schools while wearing hijab.
Following the apex court's split verdict on the issue of ban on sporting the Islamic headscarf in educational institutions in Karnataka, girls in hijab are not being permitted to take the exams scheduled to begin from March 9, the bench was told.
On March 15, 2022, the high court had dismissed the petitions filed by a section of Muslim students of the Government Pre-University Girls College in Karnataka's Udupi seeking permission to wear the hijab inside classrooms, ruling it is not a part of the essential religious practice in the Islamic faith.
