As loan waiver amount credited in farmers accounts get deducted, CM Kumaraswamy issues clarification
Bengaluru: As farmers in Karnataka reported that the amount credited in their bank accounts by the state government has been taken back, Karnataka CM H D Kumaraswamy on Monday clarified that it happened due to an error by the bank officials and that the money has not been deducted from every farmers’ account but that of only a few.
Speaking to mediapersons in the city on Tuesday, Kumarswamy blamed the media for misleading its viewers by showing fake reports. “The error was on part of the bank and the bank has clarified. The media highlighted the whole episode in a misleading manner” Kumaraswamy said.
“The media should stop misleading people on loan waiver issue. It should stop broadcasting and printing fake news. In Yadgiri District’s national bank, it was a technical error that led to the deduction of loan waiver amount credited in farmer’s accounts. It is very clear” he said.
He further added that “After every loan waiver, such issues are brought to the notice of state government during auditing. Such errors have been reported in about 13,988 accounts. Local banks have been asked to clarify on the issue, we have also called a meeting in this regard on Friday afternoon”.
He also rubbished the reports claiming that the state government credited the amounts in the accounts of the farmers to gain political mileage in the Lok Sabha Election which was withdrawn after the election. “There is no connection of loan waiver with the Lok Sabha Election. Loan waiver is an upright priority for the state government and we will implement it” The CM added.

Rajya Sabha adjourned till 12 pm as BJP members protest slogans against PM Modi at Congress rally
New Delhi (PTI): Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on Monday amid uproar from Treasury benches over slogans raised against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a Congress rally in Delhi on Sunday.
Immediately after papers were laid in the Upper House, Leader of the House and Union Minister J P Nadda condemned the Congress for the slogans, saying they reflected the party's thinking.
"With pain and an agitated heart, I want to share before the House that yesterday in the Congress party rally, slogans were shouted 'Modi teri kabr khudegi, aaj nahi to kal khudegi' (Modi's grave will be dug.. if not today, then tomorrow). This type of slogan reflects the Congress party's thinking and mindset," Nadda said.
Describing the slogans as "condemnable," Nadda said Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge and senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi should apologise to the nation.
"Congress has stooped to a low level in politics, and it is unimaginable," he added.
The remarks triggered an uproar in the House, prompting Deputy Chairman Harivansh to adjourn proceedings till 12 noon.
