As loan waiver amount credited in farmers accounts get deducted, CM Kumaraswamy issues clarification
Bengaluru: As farmers in Karnataka reported that the amount credited in their bank accounts by the state government has been taken back, Karnataka CM H D Kumaraswamy on Monday clarified that it happened due to an error by the bank officials and that the money has not been deducted from every farmers’ account but that of only a few.
Speaking to mediapersons in the city on Tuesday, Kumarswamy blamed the media for misleading its viewers by showing fake reports. “The error was on part of the bank and the bank has clarified. The media highlighted the whole episode in a misleading manner” Kumaraswamy said.
“The media should stop misleading people on loan waiver issue. It should stop broadcasting and printing fake news. In Yadgiri District’s national bank, it was a technical error that led to the deduction of loan waiver amount credited in farmer’s accounts. It is very clear” he said.
He further added that “After every loan waiver, such issues are brought to the notice of state government during auditing. Such errors have been reported in about 13,988 accounts. Local banks have been asked to clarify on the issue, we have also called a meeting in this regard on Friday afternoon”.
He also rubbished the reports claiming that the state government credited the amounts in the accounts of the farmers to gain political mileage in the Lok Sabha Election which was withdrawn after the election. “There is no connection of loan waiver with the Lok Sabha Election. Loan waiver is an upright priority for the state government and we will implement it” The CM added.

Husband has to equally participate in household chores as he is not marrying a maid: SC
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday said a husband has to equally participate in household chores like cooking, cleaning and washing as he is not marrying a maid but a life partner.
The observations came from a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta which was hearing a petition filed by a man challenging an order of the Karnataka High Court.
The high court had set aside a trial court order granting divorce to the man on the ground of cruelty.
During the hearing before the apex court, the counsel appearing for the man said the mediation between the parties had failed.
He said the marriage between the parties took place in May 2017 and since 2019, the couple is separated.

"I (man) want a divorce. The trial court granted a divorce on the ground of cruelty," the counsel said.
The bench asked what the cruelty was as alleged in the matter.
The counsel appearing for the man said the woman had indulged in improper behaviour and was not cooking food.
"You have to equally participate in all these. Cooking, cleaning, washing, everything. Today's times are different," Justice Nath observed, adding the high court was right that it might not be a ground for cruelty.
"You are not marrying a maid. You are marrying a life partner," Justice Mehta observed.
The bench was told that both of them were working in a government school.
"Call both parties physically. We would like to speak to them," the bench said.
It posted the matter for hearing on April 27 and asked both parties to remain present before it.
