Siddaramaiah slams Tejasvi Surya over alleged BBMP bed scam, asks why he was silent for 10 days
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday, slammed Bengaluru MP Tejasvi Surya over the alleged bed-blocking scandal in BBMP COVID War Room.
Stating that Tejasvi Surya named people in the alleged scam from one particular community, Siddaramaiah added the BJP leaders would take political mileage in everything, from food to death of people.
He took to his official Twitter handle to express his anguish over the matter and said “It is really unfortunate & insensitive on the part of @BJP4Karnataka MP @Tejasvi_Surya to communalize the issue. From food to death, BJP leaders want to earn political mileage by targeting few communities” he wrote.
He continued his attack on Surya who is also the national president of BJP’s Yuva Morcha in a series of tweets and questioned his credibility in bringing out the scam. He asked if Surya’s claim that he came to know about the scam ten days back, then why was he waiting for 10 days to come out with it. “Was he negotiating a deal with BBMP officers? Or was he preparing a script to protect @BJP4Karnataka leaders?” he asked.
@Tejasvi_Surya, Ravi Subramanya & Satish Reddy should have conducted a sting operation against @CMofKarnataka, @BJP4Karnataka ministers, MLAs & MPs also. This whole drama is to protect the image of his political bosses. BBMP officers & workers are just scapegoats” he wrote in another tweet.
“Like King Like Ministers. @narendramodi's actual slogan is 'Mai Bhi Khaunga, Thum Bhi Khao'. And @BJP4Karnataka leaders are following the same even in #Covid19 management & scam” he added.
“How much money has the PM Cares Fund received from the state? How much aid has flowed into the state? How many ventilators, ICU, and oxygen has the state received? By prohibiting the right to obtain information, who is Narendra Modi trying to save, is it you? Or the authorities?” he questioned.
“Chief Minister Yediyurappa is begging the Prime Minister by asking him to provide beds, Ventilator, and oxygen to the state’s corona patients like a beggar. Which burrow have the 25 BJP MPs of the state dug themselves into? The MPs who used to roar like tigers in the state and burrowed themselves like rats when it comes to standing before Narendra Modi, why?” Siddaramaiah questioned.

Allahabad HC dismisses petition seeking permission to mount loudspeaker on mosque
Prayagraj, Jan 24 (PTI): The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday dismissed a writ petition seeking direction to the state authorities to permit the mounting of loudspeakers on a Masjid.
The court observed that the religious places were for offering prayers, therefore the use of loudspeakers was not a matter of right.
Dismissing the writ petition filed by Pilibhit-resident Mukhtiyar Ahmad, a two judge-bench, comprising Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Justice Donadi Ramesh, observed, "Religious places are for offering prayers to the divinity and use of loudspeakers cannot be claimed as a matter of right, particularly when often such use of loudspeakers create nuisance for the residents".
At the outset, the state counsel objected to the maintainability of the writ on the grounds that the petitioner was neither a mutawalli, nor did the mosque belong to him.
The court also noted that the petitioner did not have locus to file the writ petition.
The term 'locus' is a legal concept that refers to the right of a person or entity to participate in a legal proceeding or bring a lawsuit.
