No one can shake government: CM Kumaraswamy
‘Action against babus who fail to follow orders’
Mysuru, September 11: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that as the coalition government was stable and strong, no one could able to shake it.
Inaugurating the cultural forum of the Maharani Women’s Arts College here on Tuesday, the CM said that the news that the coalition government was shaking was the creation of media. Media have been publishing false news by listening to some people. Only he knew how strong the government was. Don’t create confusion among people by publishing fake news. No one could able to shake the Congress-JDS coalition government in the state, he said.
“Chief Minister position may go. Power is not eternal. But what we do is more important. I am committed to work for the overall development of the state. Your reports would cause lethargic attitude among officials. Thinking that the government will not survive for long time, the officials will not listen to the words of the ministers and MLAs. So, media should not allow this development to happen”, he said.
The news that ten MLAs from Congress would go to BJP and they were in Hyderabad was just a fake news. You people write that the coalition government will collapse during Gowri Ganesh festival by listening to the words of some vested interests. Later, you say by Gandhi Jayanti and Dasara. Don’t create confusion among people for somebody’s political gains, he told media people.
No link between development and loan waiver
“The reports that I have waived off the farmers loans in the development funds are not true. A sum of Rs 2.18 lakh crore was earmarked in the budget for the development works in different departments. I have not waived off the farmers loans from this amount. I have been using the tax amount for loan waiver. Every month the government has been repaying the amount for cooperative department. For nationalized banks, the government has asked four installments. Some people have been doing politics in that too. The loans of the nationalized banks will be cleared well in advance”, he said.
Strict measure to check leakage of tax money
The Chief Minister said that the government would take stringent measures to check the leakage of tax money and collect the due tax amount.
Action against officials who ignore government orders
The Chief Minister warned the officials of taking strict action against them if they ignore the government orders or directions and against those who neglect in implementing the government directions effectively. If the officials neglect development works because of the media reports that the government would collapse at any time, he would take stringent action against them. The government was safe and strong. There was no threat to it. He has been observing all the 30 districts and act against the officials who fail to discharge their duties efficiently, he warned.
“Only the officials who work honestly and efficiently will get protection. No casteism and relationship. Only development is important for me. Officials have to follow the new programmes to be taken up in the interests of the state. So, if the officials neglect the development works, they will have to face the music”, the CM said.
Chamarajnagar MLA L Nagendra presided over the programme, in which Higher Education and Mysuru district minister GT Deve Gowda, Tourism Minister SR Mahesh, MLC Marithibbe Gowda, ZP president Nayima Sultana Nazeer Ahmed, principal Prof CH Prakash, lecturers Prof HM Basavaraj, Dr Vijayalakshmi, Dr Vijay and others were present.
