Kumaraswamy launches twitter war with Prime Minister
Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has raised objection over Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his Pakistan remark in connection with the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Launching a series of tweets about this, Kumarswamy wrote: "Is PM Modi the Prime Minister of India or Pakistan? Did Pakistani immigrants and refugees vote for you or India's citizens?"
Here is the translation of the series of tweets he made...
For you, who became the Prime Minister as per the constitution by taking Indian votes, development of our states is the priority or you prioritise to give citizenship to Pakistanis? When you are unable to pass the grants to Karnataka, how can you love this much to Pakistanis? he asked.
Karnataka gave 25 MPs. Though the state faced the loss of Rs. 35,000 crores in natural calamities, the center did not pay the NREGA dues, state share in tax and even drought relief. You are unable to speak about this but speaking regarding Pakistan. Give the funds which Karnataka should get, Kumaraswamy urged.
Should Yeddyurappa ask Karnataka's share of central tax and relief fund to Pakistan or you; Kumaraswamy criticized.
ಸಿಎಎ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಪದೇ ಪದೇ ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನದ ಜಪ ಮಾಡುವ ಮೋದಿ ಅವರೇ ನೀವು ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿಯೋ ಅಥವಾ ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನದ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿಯೋ? ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನದ ವಲಸಿಗರು, ನಿರಾಶ್ರಿತರು ನಿಮಗೆ ವೋಟು ಕೊಟ್ಟರೋ? ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳು ವೋಟು ಕೊಟ್ಟರೋ? ಭಾರತೀಯ ಸಂವಿಧಾನದಿಂದ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಹುದ್ದೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿತೋ, ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನದ ಸಂವಿಧಾನದಿಂದ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಹುದ್ದೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿತೋ?

England sticking with Key, McCullum and Stokes despite Ashes humbling
London (AP): England is not sacking anybody following the 4-1 Ashes loss in Australia.
A review of the tour by the England and Wales Cricket Board, announced within hours of the final match in January, was concluded on Monday. Firing people would “be the easy thing to do,” ECB chief executive Richard Gould said but he insisted, "This is not the time to throw everything out."
Managing director Rob Key, coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes kept their jobs after the best England side to go to Australia in 14 years lost the Ashes in 11 days with two games to spare.
“Moving people on can sometimes be the easy thing to do. That's not the route that we're going to take,” Gould said. “I've seen the driving ambition and determination that we're lucky enough to have within our leadership group to take the lessons from the Ashes and move forward.”
Gould previously was the chief executive of Bristol City soccer club and said the ECB would not follow the same route as soccer's hire-and-fire culture.
“Cricket is a very unique sport in that it takes a team of leadership ... it's not like football where there's a single point of failure or success with a manager," he said. He added the ECB would not “select or deselect management based on a popularity campaign.”
The main criticisms of England's tour were poor preparation, player misbehavior, and selection mistakes.
At a press conference at Lord's, Gould and Key said McCullum and Stokes have not had a “bust up,” they did not want McCullum to “completely change” but “to evolve,” the behavior of some players was “unprofessional,” there will be more consequences for underperforming, and a commitment to “better long-term planning” ahead of major test series.
Some changes were already implemented for the Twenty20 World Cup, where England reached the semifinals. Gould implied that performance saved McCullum.
Key acknowledged that England supporters would be disappointed to see the management team go unpunished.
“I know people want punishment and that people then should be sacked for that,” Key said. “That doesn't mean we don't feel like we've gone through some serious pain: Brendon, myself, Ben. It's been as tough a time as I think I've had.”
