Udupi, July 14: Union Urban Development and Housing Minister UT Khader has demanded that the central government, who failed to create employment in the last four years, should waive off education loans taken by youths from nationalized banks.

Speaking at a press conference in Udupi, he said the youths are unable to pay the bank loans without getting a job. Bank people are visiting the poor’s homes and threatening and harassing them. The youth Congress would not tolerate this, He warned.

BJP MLAs, who blame that the injustice is done to Dakshina Kannada in the budget, do not have proper knowledge about the budget. In addition to the budget presented by Siddaramaiah, Chief Minister Kumaraswamy has once again presented the budget. Rs 400 crore has been given for coastal region in the previous budget. The responsibility for meeting the plans announced in these two budgets in the next eight months is on the MLAs of the coastal region. It is not right to do politics, he added.

“Why the central government is not giving kerosene for fishing. Let the BJP MLAs question this. When the central government said that it is unable to supply kerosene, the state government is paying Rs 53 crore per year to supply the kerosene. The state government is providing more facilities to fisheries than what the Gujarat government is giving there,” he asserted.

The Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and the Chairperson of the Coordination Committee will decide at the appropriate time on the appointment of the incharge ministers. We do not have any confusion about this. The government would rule for five years,” Khader said.
