Take decision after conducting meeting of scholars, educationists: Minister H.D. Revanna
Opening English Medium Schools
Bengaluru, Dec 31: PWD Minister HD Revanna advised Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy to take a suitable decision on opening one thousand English medium schools only after eliciting the opinion of scholars and educationists.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here on Monday, he said that the Congress-JDS coalition government would complete its five years. Former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa has been waiting for the coalition government to collapse for the last six months, he ridiculed.
There was no need to learn a lesson from Minister RB Thimmapur on giving positions to dalits. When there was no reservation, it was former prime minister HD Deve Gowda who had given ZP president’s post to ST community. It was Deve Gowda who had ensured 33 per cent reservation for women and 5 per cent for Muslims. It was HD Kumaraswamy who had appointed dalit IAS officer Gonal Bheemappa as the KPSC chairman. The Congress leaders should recall it, he said.
“It is far from truth that I have interfered in the affairs of Home Department. I have not interfered in the affairs of the Home department. If people have doubts still, let former Home Minister and DCM Dr G Parameshwar give clarification”.

New Delhi (PTI): The CBI on Friday questioned industrialist Anil Ambani for the second consecutive day in connection with a Rs 2,929-crore cheating case, registered against Reliance Communications Ltd and him on a complaint by the State Bank of India, officials said.
Ambani arrived at the agency headquarters at around 10 am, they said.
On Thursday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sought his responses on alleged fund diversion, misappropriation and other irregularities in the loan funds issued to the company by the bank, they said.
"The appearance is in furtherance to Mr Ambani's commitment to extend full cooperation in the matter with all agencies," Anil D Ambani's Spokesperson had said in a statement on Thursday.
The CBI had booked Ambani in August last year for allegedly defrauding the SBI to the tune of Rs 2,929 crore, officials said.
According to the SBI complaint, now part of the FIR, the company had an outstanding of over Rs 40,000 crore to various lenders, with the public sector bank alone facing a loss of Rs 2,929 crore, according to 2018 figures.
The CBI booked Ambani and RCom for allegedly committing offences of criminal conspiracy, cheating and criminal breach of trust.
"It is alleged that the accused persons, in criminal conspiracy, misrepresented and got sanctioned credit facilities from SBI in favour of Reliance Communication Ltd," a CBI spokesperson said in a statement in August last year.
Ambani's spokesperson responded, "Anil D Ambani denies all allegations and charges, and will duly defend himself."
According to sources, the agency also searched the Ambani residence 'Sea Wind' at Cuffe Parade in Mumbai.
The complaint filed by SBI pertains to matters dating back more than 10 years, according to Ambani's spokesperson.
At that time, Ambani was a non-executive director of the company, with no involvement in the day-to-day management, a statement from his spokesperson then said.
"The matter remains sub-judice, pending before the NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) and other judicial forums, including the Supreme Court, for the past six years," it said.
Anil Ambani has duly challenged SBI's declaration before the competent judicial forum, it said.
