I’m committed to implement all promises made in manifesto: HDK
“Priority to be given to farmers issues”
Bengaluru, June 4: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that besides finding permanent solutions to the farmers problems, he would implement various other programmes to improve the education system in the state.
After being felicitated at a programme at National College auditorium at Jayanagar in the city on Monday, Kumaraswamy said that nothing is impossible for the coalition government. He would ensure good governance by checking unnecessary expenses, he exuded confidence.
Some opponents alleged that the development of Bengaluru city would be hampered if farm loan is waived off. But he is committed to fulfill all promises made during the election in the manifesto. At any cost, he would implement his promises, he said.
“I am the servant of the people of this state. I tell you the truth that I am still in the consideration of the Congress. I would not have become the Chief Minister if I didn’t have the support of the Congress. But my opponents have spread false propaganda that former PM Deve Gowda and myself are under pressure”, he said.
Teachers appointment was not happened in the last ten years. As a result, there is a shortage of over 23000 teachers. The government itself has been giving more than Rs 700 crore to the education institutions. But they take donations, he said to another question.
Farmers problems are his priority
BJP leaders have been calling for state bandh demanding farm loan waiver. He was not given time to breath. He would need the cooperation of the Congress leaders as well, because he has become the Chief Minister with the Congress help. But he would not shirk from his words. By maintaining the financial discipline, he would waive off the farm loans, he said.
In the last one week, 20 farmers have committed suicide. Nothing could be achieved by committing suicide. All problems would have solutions. Come to the third floor of the Vidhana Soudha and he would solve the problems, he said.
No unnecessary expenses
“If I travel in special flight, it would cost Rs 40 lakh. If it is common flight, it would cost just Rs 75,000. Except emergency situations, I would not prefer special flights. News is doing round in the media about purchasing new cars. But they were not purchased during my tenure. He has cancelled the purchase of 20 cars from the BDA. I am not using the government car. I am paying for the diesel for my own car. Such changes are being brought into my administration”, he said.
National Education Society Karnataka president Dr AH Rama Rao, vice president YG Madhusudhan, secretaries Dr T Sadananda Mayya and Prof SN Nagaraj Reddy, treasurer CR Jayachandra Shetty and others were present.
“Private education institutions have made the education as a business. There was no law to prevent taking donations. So, the poor are being deprived of education. In order to bring in changes in the government education institutions, the government has to take a decision to ensure quality education to the poor”, said Kumaraswamy.
