Can’t understand why Governor has called for meeting when there is a Govt: Minister Eshwarappa
Shimoga: Minister of State for Rural Development, K.S Eshwarappa said, “For COVID control, when there is a government comprising of elected representatives, I am surprised that the Governor has been called for the meeting.”
Speaking to the media persons in Shimoga on Tuesday, the Minister responded to the media representative’s questions on the Governor’s intervention in today’s (April 20th) meeting set to decide COVID control measures in the state and said, “It’s surprising to see the governor’s direct attendance in a meeting related to COVID control. When there is a government comprising of elected representatives, I do not understand why he has called for the meeting”, he expressed.
“CM, Opposition leader, and various others have been called for the meeting. Is this good? I am not saying that the Governor should not call a meeting. However, it has brought forth a suspicion as to whether this is a preface to a new system in the state”, he said.
“Maybe the Governor called this meeting after seriously considering the speed at which the COVID transmission is occurring. Maybe he has called the meeting with an intention to raise awareness among the elected representatives. Whatever decisions he may undertake, will be good for the state” he said.
Responding to the question concerning lockdown, Eshwarappa said, “There is no requirement of a lockdown in the state. There is no doubt in that. However, all of us will commit to whatever decision is taken by the Governor”, he said.

Neha's murder not case of 'Love jihad', Siddaramaiah reaffirms
Mysuru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah stated on Saturday that the murder of MCA student Neha Hiremath is not a case of "love jihad".
“I strongly condemn the act. The killer was arrested immediately. This is not a case of love jihad. The government will make sure that stringent punishment is given to the killer,” the Chief Minister told media persons in Mysuru.
He said that it is unfortunate to use one’s death for political reasons.
“The case is being politicised unnecessarily. The protests will not affect the government,” the Chief Minister said.
Neha, the daughter of a Congress corporator in Hubballi, was stabbed to death inside the college campus in Hubballi city by Fayaz Kondikoppa on Friday.

However, other students caught Fayaz and handed him over to the police.
Meanwhile, the parents of Neha claimed that their daughter’s murder is a case of “love jihad”.
‘Love jihad’ refers to a bogus claim made by the Hindu right wing that Muslim men are ‘luring’ Hindu women into marriages to convert them to Islam.
Niranjan Hiremath, the father of Neha, has warned that his entire family will die by suicide if the investigation is misled and botched up.
