Govt to set up Kempegowda Skills Development varsity to eradicate unemployment: CM
Bengaluru, June 27: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that the government has planned to set up Kempegowda Skills Development University to eradicate unemployment problem in the state.
Speaking at the Kempe Gowda Jayanti programme organized by the Kannada and Culture department at the Palace Ground here on Wednesday, the CM said that the unemployment problem is increasing considerably in the state. To find a permanent solution for the problem, and to protect the name of Kempe Gowda permanently, the government has planned to establish the Skills Development University and it was his dream, he said.
Bengaluru city is competing not only with the country but also with the world. The city was named in the list of the noted cities of the world. Moreover, people were coming forward to invest in the city. It happened because of the strong foundation laid by Kempe Gowda. It is the duty of every individual in the city to remember his contributions, he said.
This world famous city was a dwelling place for all communities irrespective of castes, religions, creeds, languages and cultures. When Bengaluru was built, Kempegowda had ensured social justice to all communities and developed various layouts. But now, the political interference in all issues has been creating various social problems in the city. Thousands of families do not have their own houses. In future, Bengaluru would face acute drinking water shortage and basic infrastructure problem. It was the duty of the government to provide all facilities to the people. He would complete that task during his tenure, he exuded confidence.
Water Resource Minister DK Shivakumar said that Kempe Gowda was not belonged to any one particular community. Instead he belonged to entire state. He should be introduced to the next generation also. So, a university should be named after him and he should be introduced in the textbook. It would be a failure of a government if the person who built the city was not remembered. So, Kempegowda Jayanti was not related to any particular community. It was a state event. So, it should not be celebrated limited to only Bengaluru. Moreover, Bengaluru city is not the property of those who live here. It is the property of the entire state, he said.
Ministers Krishna Byre Gowda and Jayamala, Nirmalananda Swamiji of Adichunchanagiri Mutt, Nanjavadutha Swamiji of Spatikapuri Mutt, Kumara Chandrashekara Swamiji of Okkaliga Mahasamsthana, mayor Sampath Raj, deputy mayor Manjula Narayan Swamy, former mayor Padmavathi, MLA Somashekar, Okkalinga Sangha president Bette Gowda and others were present.
‘Won’t tolerate if govt is troubled’
The Central Government should cooperate positively to Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy to give a stable government in the state. It should give what it should give as a matter of right. Kumaraswamy has many dreams and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should nurture them. If the government is troubled unnecessarily, the community would not tolerate it and would teach them a lesson, said Nanjavadutha Swamiji of Spatikapuri Mahasamsthana Mutt.

Bijnor (PTI): Two men were arrested in this Uttar Pradesh district on Friday for allegedly being in touch with a Pakistan-linked handler based in Dubai, police said.
Circle Officer, Najibabad, Anjani Kumar Chaturvedi said Uvaid Malik and Jalal Haider were arrested following inputs on their alleged links with Aqib, a resident of Meerut currently staying in Dubai.
According to police, Aqib had earlier come into the spotlight after a video surfaced on Instagram purportedly showing him displaying an AK-47 rifle and explosives.
During interrogation, the arrested men allegedly told police that Aqib used to incite youngsters against Hindus and encourage anti-national activities, the officer said, adding that detailed questioning of the accused is underway.
On April 6, Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Jha said the video first surfaced in November last year. Aqib, a native of Sathla village in the Mawana area of Meerut, was allegedly seen in the video brandishing weapons.
Following the viral clip, a case was registered at the Nangal police station by sub-inspector Vinod Kumar. However, the then station house officer and investigating officer Satyendra Singh had recorded Aqib's statement and filed a final report, stating that the weapons seen in the video were toys, effectively giving him a clean chit.
Police said fresh developments have now revealed Aqib's suspicious links and the probe has been handed over to the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS).
The SP said action has been taken against the officials concerned, with the then SHO and investigating officer suspended and Circle Officer Nitesh Pratap Singh removed from his post.
