My words on guarantee schemes have been distorted, says CM’s Financial Advisor Basavaraj Rayareddy
Koppal: Financial advisor to the Chief Minister and Koppal MLA Basavaraj Rayareddy has taken objection to media houses allegedly misquoting him while reporting on his statement in relation to guarantee schemes.
Rayareddy, who inaugurated the girls’ high school in Hirevenkalagunta village in Yalaburga taluk on Monday, clarified that he had never commented on stopping the guarantee schemes. “There is no shortage of funds for the government to do so. The party has not demeaned my stature. If I am made the Finance Minister, I will ensure that more guarantee schemes are implemented. Men too will be provided free transport in state buses,” the legislator said.
On an earlier occasion, the MLA was inaugurating classrooms in Ryavanaki village of Kukanoor taluk when people from the audience are said to have approached him and complained that the government had failed to provide the village a road although it continued to provide the Gruha Laxmi funds to women.
In response, Rayareddy reportedly told the villagers to refuse all guarantee schemes and ask the government to build a road with the funds reserved for the schemes. He is also learned to have told the villagers that if they did so, he would speak up for them before the CM.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
