Karnataka: PM Modi’s picture missing from Kisan Samman Scheme ad irks CT Ravi; says scheme hijacked
Bengaluru: BJP’s state general secretary and legislator CT Ravi on Thursday lashed out at the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in the state adding that it has hijacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Kisan Samman Scheme.
In a tweet posted from his official twitter account Ravi added a picture of a newspaper advertisement about Prime Minister Kisan Samman Scheme which had pictures of CM Kumaraswamy and Dy.CM Dr. G Parameshwara and had no picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi which irked the Chikkamagaluru MLA who said the Government did not even show basic courtesy by adding Modi’s picture.
He further added that the Karnataka Government is ‘least concerned’ about the farmers of the state.
Ravi also questioned if the CM can address the matter and clarify why PM Modi’s photo was not missing from the advertisement.
“Such is the arrogance of CONgress & JD (S) don't even have basic courtesy to put the photo of PM Modi” he posted.
PM @narendramodi's Kisan Samman Scheme has been completely hijacked by Karnataka Government which is least concerned about Our Farmers.

Parliamentary panel to summon airline executives, regulator over flight disruptions
New Delhi (PTI): A parliamentary panel is likely to summon top executives of private airlines and the civil aviation regulator over the mass cancellation of IndiGo flights that has left thousands of travellers stranded across the country's airports.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture, chaired by JD(U) leader Sanjay Jha, is likely to seek an explanation from top executives of airlines and officials from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and the Ministry of Civil Aviation about the cause of disruption in air services and possible solutions.
A member said the panel has taken serious note of the difficulties faced by thousands of passengers due to disruption in air services.
Even parliamentarians, who were in the national capital for the Winter Session, faced the brunt of flight cancellations by IndiGo and delays by other airlines, the panel member said.
Several MPs also received complaints from people about air fares shooting up due to the scenario.
Meanwhile, CPI(M) Rajya Sabha member John Brittas, who is not part of the standing committee on transport, has demanded setting up of a joint parliamentary committee or a judicial inquiry into the large-scale disruption of flights.
IndiGo cancelled more than 220 flights at Delhi and Mumbai airports on Sunday, as the disruptions entered the sixth day even as efforts were on to normalise operations.
The aviation regulator, DGCA, on Saturday sent notices to IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers and COO and Accountable Manager Porqueras, seeking explanation.
In a statement issued on Sunday, IndiGo said the Board of Interglobe Aviation, its parent company, has set up a Crisis Management Group, which is meeting regularly to monitor the situation. The company's Board of Directors is doing everything possible to take care of the challenges faced by its customers and ensure refunds to passengers, it said.
