‘Telangana model’ fight if North Karnataka is neglected: MLA Sriramulu
Ballary, July 27: If the JDS-Congress coalition government has done injustice to North Karnataka, a fight for separate North Karnataka state would be launched on the line of ‘Telangana model’ fight, said Molakalmuru MLA B Sriramulu.
Speaking to reporters at his house here on Friday, Sriramulu said that the North Karnataka was completely neglected in the Budget. How far it was right to speak lightly about North Karnataka? If the same ill-treatment continued to North Karnataka, there might be a revolution, he warned.
“Politics is not important for me. My people are important to me. I have not stuck to power. I would not hesitate to resign from the MLA position and plunge into the protest against the injustice and fight for separate north Karnataka state. It is our objective to protect Karnataka as a whole. But if the North Karnataka is meted with injustice oftenly, we will not keep quite. Should we tolerate the irresponsible statements of the Chief Minister on loan waiver, Mahadayi movement and farmers of North Karnataka”, he asked.
A Chief Minister should treat all parts of the state equally. It was not right to speak against the North Karnataka people who have not voted him. Kumaraswamy had become a chief minister for a few districts instead of the entire state, he ridiculed.
PWD Minister HD Revanna was not going to other districts instead of Hassan, Mandya and Ramanagar. Though Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts faced rain fury, he did not visit those places. Even though Krishna River overflowed, he had never visited the place, he said.
Kumaraswamy had promised of good governance. But after two months of forming the government, he had never appointed district ministers. Vidhana Soudha and Vikasa Soudha have become the haven of middlemen and agents according to the Chief Minister. Let him control those who are waiting near the houses of the Chief Minister and some Ministers with suitcases for transfer business, he demanded.
Total 16 districts do not have JDS MLAs and the JDS has lost its deposits in 100 constituencies. Even then, Kumaraswamy has become the chief minister of the state. Instead of treating all constituencies equally, he was discriminating in sanctioning funds to the constituencies which do not have JDS MLAs. The loan waiver order was not yet implemented. It was an inactive government. It has limited itself for transfer business, he alleged.
“By restricting the media people from entering the Vidhana Soudha, Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has been trying to administration like Hitler. It is regrettable that former chief minister Siddaramaiah who won from the North Karnataka did not raise his voice against the injustice to the North Karnataka in the Budget”.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
