Stay for online liquor sales: CM Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru, November 2: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that stay was given for online sales of liquor and a decision would be taken after reviewing the concerned files.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday after participating in ‘Bengaluru Trauma Course-2018’ programme, the Chief Minister said that the previous government had given contract for selling liquor online. Since corruption charges were made in the process, the sales was stayed temporarily, he said.
“BJP MLC Ayanur Manjunath alleged that the sales of liquor was increased in Shivamogga after my visit. My visit to Shivamogga has created fear among BJP leaders. So, they have been making meaningless allegations against me”, he said.
BJP leaders have been making allegation against coalition government for their leader backtracked from the election. Though I have not been to Ramanagara, the people from that constituency would elect our candidate. So, why should I purchase the BJP candidate, he asked.
Farmers convention
After the election, a mega convention of the farmers would be conducted and distributed no objection certificates on loans to them. Not only Diwali, he would also give one new programme for the people of the state every month, for which, he has made sufficient preparations. Two MLC seats were given to the Congress and one seat was retained for JDS. Shortly, the nomination of those seats would be conducted, he said.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
