Deve Gowda’s sons are looting the State, alleges Yeddyurappa
Bengaluru, September 19: BJP state President B.S Yeddyurappa alleged that the people of the state have been observing the Tughlaq administration. The sons of former Prime Minister H.D Deve Gowda have been looting the state.
Inaugurating the special meeting of the BJP MLAs at the Palace Ground here on Wednesday, Yeddyurappa said that there was no minister at the Vidhana Soudha. There were no development works in the state. No development works were being taken up without commission. They have been working as commission agents, he alleged.
The sons of Deve Gowda have committed lot of corruptions and the Deputy Commissioner should take action immediately. Otherwise, the BJP would fight against it across the state. Congress leader A. Manju had alleged that H.D Revanna family has involved in a land scam. But Chief Minister H.D Kumaraswamy would not speak a word about it. But H.D Revanna was speaking about it very lightly. The sons of Deve Gowda have been looting the state exchequer, he alleged.
Though four months were over after the formation of the coalition government in the state, the development works have come to a standstill. The JDS which has got 38 seats has been ruling the state and the BJP which got 104 seats is in the opposition position, he said.
Because of the internal bickering in the Congress-JDS, no development works were being taken up. Without commission, no bill would be passed. The government has announced 13 districts as drought-affected, but there was no relief works, he said.
Appeal for special package
Yeddyurappa said that he has appealed Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh who visited the state yesterday, for a special package to the state following drought and flood situation in the state.
Union Minister Ramesh Jigajinagi, M.P Shobha Karandlaje, MLAs K.S Eshwarappa, Govinda Karajola, Aravind Limbavali, C.T Ravi, Ravikumar, Prahlad Joshi, Jagadish Shettar, Kota Srinivas Poojary, Sriramulu and others were present.
“In chess, what is the use if the Pawn is moved without the opponent? Water Resources Minister D.K Shivakumar should speak responsibly. Irresponsible statement will not suit his stature”.

Bengaluru jail introduces biometric tracking system for prisoners
Bengaluru: In a bid to curb misconduct and illegal activities inside Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, prison authorities have introduced a new ‘Prisoners Tracking Movement System’ under which inmates will have to undergo biometric verification while entering every barrack.
According to jail officials, biometric systems have been installed across all major sections of the prison, including barracks, visitor rooms, hospital, canteen, kitchen, library, playground, handicraft units and bakery sections. Staff members have also been deployed at these locations.
Officials said inmates visiting the visitors’ room must now obtain a digital token after biometric verification. Details such as the prisoner’s name, identification number and entry time will be updated in the prison software system. This will help authorities maintain a complete digital record of inmates visiting and returning from meeting rooms.
Similar systems have also been introduced at entry points of the hospital, library and other barracks accessed for work-related purposes. Officials said the system will help identify prisoners involved in suspicious or illegal activities with other inmates and enable authorities to track how much time a prisoner spends at different locations inside the prison.
Authorities stated that AI-powered cameras were already being used inside the prison to monitor inmates as well as prison staff. Along with this, digital tracking of prisoner phone calls and a digital token system for visitor meetings have now been added to strengthen surveillance over inmate movement. Officials said the project has been implemented at a cost of around Rs 2.25 crore.
The prison department has also introduced a canteen usage tracking system to monitor prisoners’ spending patterns. Instead of direct cash payments, inmates can purchase bakery items and snacks using wallets or coupons issued within the prison system.
Officials said the digital system will record details including the buyer’s name, items purchased, quantity, date, time and remaining wallet balance. This will allow prison authorities to maintain complete expenditure records of inmates.
