Checking corruption is not an easy task: CM
Bengaluru, June 11: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that he knew that he would not continue for a long time as the CM if he tried to check corruption instantly.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, the CM said that he is taking all steps to control the corruption in a staged manner. “When I have been to Sringeri Mutt, the Swamiji asked me to stop corruption. But I have informed him that it is not so easy to check corruption”, he recalled.
The corruption starts right from the transfer of employees and officials. Corruption is more rampant in Vidhana Soudha. There are some middlemen in the third floor of the Vidhana Soudha and their duty is to get their transfers done. He has already directed the officials to work honestly, he said.
“There is a coalition government in the state and the media has been reporting that the coalition government did not take off in the state. But I don’t have any fear. The JDS-Congress coalition government will complete full five-year term. I don’t know how and who create such stories. Please don’t give false reports. I cannot do politics making my father Deve Gowda idle at home”, he said.
“ I have not come to power to make money. I don’t know how many days I would live. I have undergone surgery two times. I have got the power for people. Because of the blessings of the God and elders, I became Chief Minister. Many people have thought that I would go with the BJP if the circumstances warranted for coalition government. In fact, I have got the offer from the BJP. But, there is a difference between last time and this time”, he said.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
