Stop daydreaming, Zameer Ahmed tells BJP leaders
Bengaluru, October 14: Food and Civil Supplies Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan said that state BJP leaders have been day dreaming for power.
Speaking at a felicitation programme to MLC Venugopal, organized by the Jayanagar Citizens Forum at Jayanagar here on Sunday, the Minister said that the BJP leaders have been predicting the collapse of Congress-JDS coalition government after the by-election. But the coalition government would be safe for five years. So, it was better that the BJP leaders should stop daydreaming for power, he said.
Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy who protected the interests of the farmers by waiving off their loans, has been giving good administration. Unable to tolerate his popularity, the BJP leaders have been making false accusations, he said.
Kumaraswamy would remain as the Chief Minister for next five years without any doubt. The Coalition government would toil hard for the welfare of the state and sustainable development was the prime objective of Congress. In view of this, the Congress high command has given up the chief minister post to Kumaraswamy, he said.
KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao said that the Congress would identify even the marginal community and provide position, for which, M.C. Venugopal from Savitha Samaj was an example. After successfully handling various responsibilities, Venugopal had organized the party in Bengaluru. So, the MLC position was given to him. Let him organize the party further in coming days, he said.
MLA Soumya Reddy said that Venugopal was instrumental in her victory in Jayanagar constituency. He had sacrificed his constituency for her. So, she would always be grateful to him, she said.
Former minister Ramalinga Reddy, Kendra Sahitya Academy President Dr. Chandrashekar Kambara and Kuvempu Bhasha Bharati Authority President Dr. K. Marulasiddappa were present.

1,600 Indians travel to India on 5 Qatar Airways flights amid airspace curbs
Doha (PTI): Around 1,600 Indian nationals travelled to India on five Qatar Airways flights on Tuesday, even as the airline continues to operate limited services due to restrictions on Qatar's airspace, the Indian Embassy here said.
The flights included two services to Delhi and one each to Mumbai, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram, the embassy said in a social media post.
"In total, about 1600 Indian nationals travelled on Qatar Airways flights today," it said.
The mission noted that Qatar's airspace remains largely closed and Qatar Airways is currently operating only limited, non-scheduled flights.
The airline has announced services to nine Indian destinations starting Wednesday, and passengers can make bookings through the Qatar Airways website, mobile application or authorised travel agents.
The embassy said it continues to facilitate temporary Saudi transit visas for stranded Indian nationals wishing to travel to India via Saudi Arabia by crossing the Salwa land border.
The mission will remain open on all days in the coming week to provide consular services, including issuance of passports, while its control room and helplines through phone, email and WhatsApp will continue to function on a 24/7 basis.
It urged the Indian community to follow instructions issued by Qatari authorities and exercise responsibility in sharing information to help maintain public safety and community stability.
The embassy and Indian community organisations have also collaborated to support members of the Indian fishermen community in Qatar by providing dry rations to those in need.
Tensions in West Asia continue to escalate following the US-Israel strikes on Iran since February 28.
