All schemes of Congress government to continue: CM Kumaraswamy
Siddaramaiah’s budget has many things for Coastal region, North Karnataka
Bengaluru: All projects of the previous Congress government have been pursued, said CM HD Kumaraswamy. He stated this during a press conference at the Vidhana Soudha.
“Siddaramaiah had presented the budget in last February, and all of his programs will continue. Today I did not read his budget. It would be six o'clock in the evening if I read that budget. Many programmes for minorities, backward classes were announced in Siddaramaiah's budget. There should not be any confusion about this,” Kumaraswamy said.
“There are criticisms that more programmes have been given to Hassan and Mandya. Whereas, Hassan, Mandya have got only Rs 150 to Rs 200 crore aid. Did not give more than this. Siddaramaiah's budget has announced many projects for Karavali and North Karnataka. All those projects will continue,” Chief Minister Kumaraswamy added.
“The central government has paid nothing to waive off farm loans. We have given more preference to North Karnataka. I will answer in assembly regarding how much I have given to Belagavi, Bidar, Bagalkot, and Vijayapura.”
“I do not want BJP leaders’ appreciation. Certificate of the people of the state is significant for me. I have presented the best budget with the help of Congress. Rahul Gandhi has tweeted regarding farm loan waiver. Projects announced in this budget and those taken by Congress government will continue,” HDK stated.
DCM Parameshwara and others were present.

Uproar in J-K Assembly as BJP members protest over special status resolution
Srinagar (PTI): Ruckus prevailed in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly for the third day on Friday as BJP members protested over the special status resolution, leading the speaker to marshal out 12 opposition MLAs and Langate legislator Sheikh Khurshid.
As the House met for the day, BJP MLAs raised slogans like 'Pakistani agenda nahi chalega'.
BJP MLAs also jumped into the well of the House following which Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather directed that they be marshalled out.
Soon after they were evicted, 11 other BJP MLAs walked out of the House in protest.
The House has been witnessing uproar from the last two days as BJP MLAs protested vociferously after the passage of the resolution.
Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary had moved the resolution on Tuesday that said: "This Legislative Assembly reaffirms the importance of the special status and constitutional guarantees, which safeguarded the identity, culture and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and expresses concern over their unilateral removal."
It said the Assembly calls upon the Centre to initiate talks with elected representatives from the region for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's special status and constitutional guarantees, and to work out constitutional mechanisms for the same.
"This Assembly emphasises that any process for restoration must safeguard both national unity and the legitimate aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir," it added.
