I know what BJP has done in coastal Karnataka: HDK
Bengaluru, May 25: Saying that the government would not care for BS Yeddyurappa’s Karnataka bandh call in the name of farmers loan waiver, Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that he knew what BJP has done in coastal Karnataka.
Reacting to Yeddyurappa's walk out from the Assembly Session on Friday, Kumaraswamy said that Yeddyurappa has proved himself that he is no less than theatre artistes in speaking. Without giving opportunity to speak during the floor test, Yeddyurappa has walked out which is just escapism. Moreover, he has given false information to the House about his family and himself. The history of BSY is recorded in the country’s history. But he would not speak about his personal issues, he said.
He would continue all popular programmes. The government is committed for the protection of people of all sections of the society. The government would ensure stable governance for five years. Only development would get priority in his government, he said.

Power tariffs under BESCOM to rise from May 1
Bengaluru (PTI): Power bills for consumers under the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) will go up from May 1, following an order issued by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) on Friday.
The hike comes after KERC allowed the BESCOM to recover a revenue deficit of Rs 2,068 crore incurred in 2024-25, from the consumers.
As a result, for every unit of electricity consumed in 2024-25, the customers will be charged an additional 56 paise, it said.
"BESCOM shall calculate, for each of the active consumers of FY2024-25 the amount to be recovered based on their actual energy consumption during FY2024-25. Such amount shall be recovered during FY 2026-27 in equal monthly instalments, to be called as 'FY25 True up Charges', commencing from the first meter reading date falling on or after 1 May 2026 and concluding with the reading date ending on 30 April 2027," the order said.
"It is further ordered that BESCOM shall maintain a separate head of account, allocated for the purpose, to record the adjustment of the said amount to ensure full recovery of the deficit," it added.
Similarly Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (CESC) has also recorded a revenue deficit of Rs 121.71 crore and can collect an additional 15 paisa per unit for consumption in 2024-25, official sources said.
