Bengaluru, May 25: KR Ramesh Kumar who was elected as the Speaker of the Assembly here on Friday, hailed the Siddaramaiah government and its governance.

After being elected as the Speaker, Ramesh Kumar said that “as a politician, I want to tell about one thing. I am not telling this as a Speaker or a representative of a political party. Siddaramaiah has implemented various programmes without violating the financial responsibility. He has made financial arrangements to all programmes and ensured that no cheques were bounced. After Ashok Mitra who was the finance minister in Communist government in West Bengal, Siddaramaiah was the next finance minister who has most discipline in financial aspect”, he said.

Ramesh Kumar also advised Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy to get advice from Siddaramaiah who served as the finance minister in the previous governments and it would help the coalition government.

Bengaluru: Transport and Muzrai Minister Ramalinga Reddy inaugurated a redeveloped parking facility at Terminal-1 of Kempegowda Bus Station on Thursday, April 16.

The parking area has been developed at a cost of Rs 3.29 crore to facilitate smoother movement of vehicles and improve convenience for staff and passengers.

According to officials, the area adjacent to Terminal-1 near the rest house was earlier filled with potholes and prone to waterlogging during rains, causing inconvenience to commuters and staff.

The issue was brought to the notice of the minister, who visited the site and directed that the development be taken up on priority.

A tender was floated to develop around 2.5 acres of land into a structured parking facility.

According to KSRTC, the facility can accommodate around 100 buses and is equipped with 11 electric light poles. An electrical panel room has also been constructed as part of the project.

Parking space has been allocated for buses belonging to North Western (NWKRTC) and Kalyana Karnataka Road Transport Corporations (KKRTC).
