Deve Gowda’s sons are looting the State, alleges Yeddyurappa
Bengaluru, September 19: BJP state President B.S Yeddyurappa alleged that the people of the state have been observing the Tughlaq administration. The sons of former Prime Minister H.D Deve Gowda have been looting the state.
Inaugurating the special meeting of the BJP MLAs at the Palace Ground here on Wednesday, Yeddyurappa said that there was no minister at the Vidhana Soudha. There were no development works in the state. No development works were being taken up without commission. They have been working as commission agents, he alleged.
The sons of Deve Gowda have committed lot of corruptions and the Deputy Commissioner should take action immediately. Otherwise, the BJP would fight against it across the state. Congress leader A. Manju had alleged that H.D Revanna family has involved in a land scam. But Chief Minister H.D Kumaraswamy would not speak a word about it. But H.D Revanna was speaking about it very lightly. The sons of Deve Gowda have been looting the state exchequer, he alleged.
Though four months were over after the formation of the coalition government in the state, the development works have come to a standstill. The JDS which has got 38 seats has been ruling the state and the BJP which got 104 seats is in the opposition position, he said.
Because of the internal bickering in the Congress-JDS, no development works were being taken up. Without commission, no bill would be passed. The government has announced 13 districts as drought-affected, but there was no relief works, he said.
Appeal for special package
Yeddyurappa said that he has appealed Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh who visited the state yesterday, for a special package to the state following drought and flood situation in the state.
Union Minister Ramesh Jigajinagi, M.P Shobha Karandlaje, MLAs K.S Eshwarappa, Govinda Karajola, Aravind Limbavali, C.T Ravi, Ravikumar, Prahlad Joshi, Jagadish Shettar, Kota Srinivas Poojary, Sriramulu and others were present.
“In chess, what is the use if the Pawn is moved without the opponent? Water Resources Minister D.K Shivakumar should speak responsibly. Irresponsible statement will not suit his stature”.

4 children test HIV positive in MP govt hospital; contaminated blood transfusion suspected
Satna/Bhopal (PTI): Four children suffering from thalassemia have tested HIV positive at Satna District Hospital in Madhya Pradesh allegedly due to contaminated blood transfusions, officials said on Tuesday.
The case is four months old and an investigation is underway into it, an official said.
Officials suspect the use of contaminated needles or blood transfusions for the spread of infection to the children.

MP Health Minister Rajendra Shukla told reporters in Bhopal that he has ordered a probe into the matter and sought a report.
“It is also being investigated whether the blood transfusion took place in other hospitals also or only in the government hospital,” he said.
The affected children, aged between 12 and 15 years, received blood transfusions from the hospital's blood bank, as per an official.
Devendra Patel, in-charge of the blood bank at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel District Hospital in Satna, said four children have tested HIV positive and an investigation is underway to determine how they got infected.
"Either an infected needle was used or a blood transfusion occurred. These are the two main reasons I believe. Blood transfusion seems to be the most likely cause," he told PTI Videos.
All these children suffer from thalassemia, and some have received 80 or 100 blood transfusions, he said.
A family member of one of the affected children said that their child was found to be HIV positive during a routine checkup about four months back, and he has been receiving medication, but it had proven to be of no use.
After taking the medication for HIV, the child starts vomiting, feels low and becomes ill, he said.
After the four children were detected with HIV infection, their family members were also tested and the results came out negative, he added.
The Opposition Congress targeted the government over the matter and demanded the resignation of Health Minister Shukla.
Speaking to reporters in Bhopal, Congress MLA and former minister Sachin Yadav claimed such incidents were continuously occurring in Madhya Pradesh.
Earlier, a case of toxic cough syrup came to light in Chhindwara, followed by incidents of rat bites at hospitals in Indore and Satna, and now children have been given HIV-infected blood, he said.
"The health minister is unable to manage the department. He should resign. A murder case should be filed against those responsible for the Satna incident," Yadav said.
Senior Congress leader Sajjan Singh Verma termed it a failure of the government. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's government has no connection with ground realities, he charged.
"Somewhere rats are roaming in hospitals, somewhere children are being given HIV-infected blood. Instead of preventing HIV, you are spreading it. Mohan Yadav should wake up from his slumber. Children are the nation's heritage and should be taken care of," he added.
