BJP is indulging in horse trading offering crores of rupees: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru, Dec 30: “BJP is on the toes to topple the Congress-JDS coalition government through operation lotus. It has indulged in horse trading by offering minimum Rs 25-30 crore to each MLA”, former chief minister and Coordination Committee Chairman Siddaramaiah tweeted.
The Opposition BJP has been trying to topple the coalition government ever since it came into existence. Where was the BJP getting money to purchase the MLAs? If the BJP was not corrupt, how it would get such huge money, he asked in the Twitter.
The Congress leaders were not able to get in touch with former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi. Close on the heels of rumours that Ramesh was in Mumbai or New Delhi, the tweet of Siddaramaiah that BJP was trying to poach Congress MLAs has created new debate in the state.
It is said that some disgruntled Congress MLAs who were denied ministerial berths during Cabinet expansion were in touch with the BJP and might fall prey to Operation Lotus. Amidst this, sources said that the BJP has been conspiring to topple the coalition government.
ಕುದುರೆ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಕ್ಕೆ ನಿಂತಿರುವ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಪ್ರತಿ ಶಾಸಕರಿಗೆ ರೂ.25 ರಿಂದ 30 ಕೋಟಿ ಹಣ ನೀಡಿ ಖರೀದಿಸಲು ಮುಂದಾಗಿದೆ. ಅವರು ಭ್ರಷ್ಟಾಚಾರಿಗಳಲ್ಲದೇ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಇಷ್ಟು ದೊಡ್ಡ ಮೊತ್ತದ ಹಣ ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ?

13 lakh litres of 'Rail Neer' supplied to train passengers daily: Government
New Delhi (PTI): Approximately 13 lakh litres of packaged drinking water -- 'Rail Neer' -- are being supplied to train passengers across the railway network daily, the government informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply on Wednesday.
Apprising the Lower House about the Indian Railways' endeavour to provide safe and potable drinking water facilities at all stations, the government also provided zone-wise details of the water vending machines (WVMs) installed there.
"To ensure the quality of drinking water being made available at the railway stations, instructions exist for periodical checking and required corrective action to be taken.
"Regular inspection and maintenance of drinking water facilities is carried out and complaints are attended to promptly," Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said while responding to a question raised by BJP MP Anup Sanjay Dhotre seeking to know the supply of drinking water at railway stations across the country
"Complaints regarding deficiency in services, including water supply, are received through various channels such as public complaints, web portals, social media, etc. These complaints are received at various levels, including the Railway Board, zonal railways, division office, etc.," Vaishnaw said.
"The complaints so received are forwarded to the concerned wings of Railways and necessary action is taken to check and address them. As receipt of such complaints and action taken thereon is a continuous and dynamic process, a centralised compendium of these is not maintained," he added.
Providing zone-wise details of water vending machines, the minister said 954 such machines have been installed across railway stations.
"The Indian Railways also provides safe and affordable packaged drinking water bottles -- Rail Neer -- approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in trains and at stations," Vaishnaw said.
"Approximately, 13 lakh litres of Rail Neer are being supplied per day to the travelling passengers in trains and at stations across the Indian Railways network," he added.
