Hassan, August 10: Minister Revanna hit back at the opposition on Friday and said “20 MLAs from BJP are ready to join JDS, but we have kept quiet thinking that Yeddyurappa’s health should not get disturbed.
Speaking to reporters at a private hotel in the city, he said that the BJP leaders are promoting that the JD (S) and Congress MLAs are in touch with them. But there are more than 20 MLAs in the BJP who are in contact with the JDS. “We have stopped them thinking that the Yeddyurappa's health should not get disturbed by the BJP MLAs move.
Shiradi Ghat work has been completed. The office that was located there has been shifted to Holenarasipura. Similarly, offices have been moved to Hassan, Arsikere, and Belur. There are over Rs.600 crores of works in this range. Officials were unable to come from other places to inspect works. Therefore this move has been taken, the minister said.
CM Kumaraswamy has already waived off the farmers’ loan up to Rs one lakh. In the coming days, on August 15 or during Gowri Ganesha festival, the CM will be giving a new gift to the farmers, he said.

ISKCON urges Indian intervention following priest's arrest in Bangladesh
Dhaka: The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has called on the Indian government to take immediate steps to secure the release of its priest, Chinmoy Krishna Das, detained by Bangladeshi authorities. The arrest occurred near Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.
Das, a prominent ISKCON leader and former divisional organising secretary for Chattogram, faces sedition charges stemming from an October 25 incident. According to a case filed on October 31, 19 individuals, including Das, allegedly placed a saffron flag over the Bangladeshi flag on the Independent Pillar (Shadhinata Smathamva) during a rally organised by the Hindu community under the banner Sanatan Jagaran Mancha.
ISKCON has strongly denied any involvement in terrorism, describing the allegations as "baseless and unacceptable." In a statement, ISKCON declared, "It is outrageous to make baseless allegations that ISKCON has anything to do with terrorism anywhere in the world. ISKCON urges the Government of India to engage with Bangladesh to secure the release of Sri Chinmoy Krishna Das."
Hindu communities in Bangladesh have staged protests demanding better legal protection and the establishment of a minority affairs ministry under the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
Meanwhile, Bangladeshi police have arrested two other suspects, Rajesh Chowdhury and Hriday Das, in connection with the case. The remaining accused include Ajay Dutta, Leela Raj Das Brahmachari, Gopal Das Tipu, and several others. ISKCON spokesperson Radharamn Das expressed concerns over Das's safety, stating that he had been moved to an undisclosed location by the police.
