I’m committed to implement all promises made in manifesto: HDK
“Priority to be given to farmers issues”
Bengaluru, June 4: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that besides finding permanent solutions to the farmers problems, he would implement various other programmes to improve the education system in the state.
After being felicitated at a programme at National College auditorium at Jayanagar in the city on Monday, Kumaraswamy said that nothing is impossible for the coalition government. He would ensure good governance by checking unnecessary expenses, he exuded confidence.
Some opponents alleged that the development of Bengaluru city would be hampered if farm loan is waived off. But he is committed to fulfill all promises made during the election in the manifesto. At any cost, he would implement his promises, he said.
“I am the servant of the people of this state. I tell you the truth that I am still in the consideration of the Congress. I would not have become the Chief Minister if I didn’t have the support of the Congress. But my opponents have spread false propaganda that former PM Deve Gowda and myself are under pressure”, he said.
Teachers appointment was not happened in the last ten years. As a result, there is a shortage of over 23000 teachers. The government itself has been giving more than Rs 700 crore to the education institutions. But they take donations, he said to another question.
Farmers problems are his priority
BJP leaders have been calling for state bandh demanding farm loan waiver. He was not given time to breath. He would need the cooperation of the Congress leaders as well, because he has become the Chief Minister with the Congress help. But he would not shirk from his words. By maintaining the financial discipline, he would waive off the farm loans, he said.
In the last one week, 20 farmers have committed suicide. Nothing could be achieved by committing suicide. All problems would have solutions. Come to the third floor of the Vidhana Soudha and he would solve the problems, he said.
No unnecessary expenses
“If I travel in special flight, it would cost Rs 40 lakh. If it is common flight, it would cost just Rs 75,000. Except emergency situations, I would not prefer special flights. News is doing round in the media about purchasing new cars. But they were not purchased during my tenure. He has cancelled the purchase of 20 cars from the BDA. I am not using the government car. I am paying for the diesel for my own car. Such changes are being brought into my administration”, he said.
National Education Society Karnataka president Dr AH Rama Rao, vice president YG Madhusudhan, secretaries Dr T Sadananda Mayya and Prof SN Nagaraj Reddy, treasurer CR Jayachandra Shetty and others were present.
“Private education institutions have made the education as a business. There was no law to prevent taking donations. So, the poor are being deprived of education. In order to bring in changes in the government education institutions, the government has to take a decision to ensure quality education to the poor”, said Kumaraswamy.

Imphal, Nov 24: The autopsy reports of three of the six persons killed in Manipur's Jiribam district by suspected Kuki militants revealed multiple bullet injuries and lacerations on various parts of their bodies, officials said on Sunday.
The report of three-year-old Chingkheinganba Singh showed that his right eye was missing and he had a bullet wound in the skull, they said.
The report also noted cut wounds, fractures in the chest, and lacerations on the forearm and other parts of his body. Signed on November 17, the report indicated that the child's body was in a "state of decomposition", they added.
The report said the cause of death would be pending until the receipt of the chemical analysis report of viscera from the Directorate of Forensic Sciences in Guwahati, officials said.
The post-mortem examinations were conducted at the Silchar Medical College Hospital (SMCH) in Assam's Cachar district.
The report also detailed the injuries sustained by his mother, L Heitonbi Devi (25), who had "three bullet wounds in the chest and one in the buttock", officials said.
According to the report, her body was brought to SMCH on November 18, around seven days after her death, they said.
The child's grandmother, Y Rani Devi (60), suffered five bullet wounds -- one in the skull, two in the chest, one in the abdomen, and one in an arm, officials said.
Her body was brought to SMCH on November 17, at least three to five days after her death, the report noted.
The autopsy reports also showed deep lacerations on many parts of the bodies of the two women.
The cause of Rani Devi's death is also yet to be known, awaiting the chemical analysis report of the viscera, officials said.
The post-mortem reports of one more woman and two children are still pending, they said.
The six persons belonging to the Meitei community had gone missing from a relief camp in Jiribam after a gunfight between security forces and suspected Kuki-Zo militants that resulted in the deaths of 10 insurgents on November 11.
Their bodies were found in the Jiri river in Jiribam district, and the nearby Barak river in Assam's Cachar over the next few days.
