Yediyurappa has no knowledge of finance: Siddaramaiah slashes at CM in Mangaluru
Mangaluru: Chief Minister Yediyurappa has no knowledge of finance. Otherwise he would have not told that the govt has gone bankrupt, said Former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Speaking to mediapersons at the Mangaluru Airport, Siddaramaiah said that treasury would never be filled. Tax would be spent on essential works as soon as it comes.
The central government has given Rs 1,200 crore that too after two months, while the state government had asked Rs 38,000 crore. This money is insufficient for the emergency management. They would have given at least 5 thousand crores. Release of such a small amount of funds is the failure of the state government. It would not have happened if the state government had put pressure on the centre, Siddaramaiah added.
Responding to a question from journalists about the cases being filed against those who speak against the central government, Siddaramaiah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was following Hitler's legacy.
Former ministers UT Khadar, K Abhayachandra Jain, MLC Ivan D'Souza, Harish Kumar and Youth Congress district president Mithun Rai were also present.

Swamiji fires gun into the air in Kalaburagi village, video goes viral
Kalaburagi: An incident involving a swamiji firing a gun into the air has been reported from Udachan village in Afzalpur taluk of Kalaburagi district. The act, captured on video, has since gone viral on social media.
The swamiji has been identified as Sri Shantalinga Shivacharya, pontiff of the Hiremath of Sri Shankaralingeshwara Samsthana. According to reports, the incident took place on Sunday evening within the premises of the math, where the swamiji allegedly fired a single-barrel gun into the air.
This is not the first time the swami has courted controversy. Last year, he was reportedly found driving erratically under the influence of alcohol in Salotagi village of neighbouring Indi taluk, following which members of the public confronted him. He later fled from the math, sources said.

More recently, during the annual fair of the Sri Shankaralingeshwara Math in Udachan village, the swami had arrived at the village with police protection, claiming to be the rightful pontiff of the math. Despite opposition from villagers, he reportedly went ahead and conducted rituals related to the fair.
The latest incident of firing the gun into the air has triggered criticism, especially after the video surfaced online. Further action, if any, is awaited from the authorities.
