Those who fix time to topple government have to face the music: Deve Gowda
Shivamogga, September 14: “Those who are conspiring to destabilize the coalition government have to face the music as the government has the blessings from the God and the gurus”, said former prime minister and JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda.
Inaugurating the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Malenadu Credit Cooperative Society here on Friday, Deve Gowda said that some vested interests have been conspiring to destabilize the government. One class of people has been waiting to see the collapse of the coalition government and formation of their government. Definitely, those who have fixed the Muhurta for toppling the coalition government have to face the music. No one could do anything as the government has the blessings of the God and Gurus. The government would be stable, he said.
Good work
Though there were minor issues, the government has been working satisfactorily. For the last three months, some people have been predicting that the government would be collapsed. They have fixed Muhurta to form their government. But the time would give them the answer, he said.
Becoming the Chief Minister with just 37 MLAs was not an easy task. Kumaraswamy was backed by a power and it would protect the government from all such difficulties. There was no doubt in it, he said.
Cooperative societies should work honestly for the development. Cooperative leaders should work to achieve the goals of the societies and contribute for the welfare of the society, he said hailing the efforts of the Malenadu Credit Cooperative Society.

Assam to lift all cases against Koch Rajbongshis in Foreigners' Tribunals: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma
Guwahati, Apr 4 (PTI): The Assam cabinet has decided to lift all cases pending against people from the Koch Rajbongshi community in the Foreigners' Tribunals, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday.
They will also no longer carry the tag of 'D' or doubtful voters, he said.
''There are 28,000 cases pending in different Foreigners' Tribunals in the state against people of the community. The cabinet has taken a historic decision of lifting the cases with immediate effect,'' Sarma said at a press conference here after the cabinet meeting.
The government believes that the Koch Rajbongshis are an indigenous community of the state and they are an inextricable part of ''our social and cultural fabric'', he asserted.
The people of this community are poor and have suffered a lot over the years, he said.
''They will no longer carry the tag of foreigners or ‘D’ voters,'' the CM said.
Foreigners Tribunals are quasi-judicial bodies, particularly in Assam, established to determine if a person residing in India is a "foreigner" as defined by the Foreigners Act of 1946, based on the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order of 1964.
These tribunals are designed to address matters related to citizenship and the presence of “foreigners” in India, specifically focusing on cases where someone is suspected of being an illegal immigrant.
There are 100 Foreigners’ Tribunals across Assam.
The Koch Rajbongshis have a sizeable presence in Assam, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and parts of Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan, and they demand Scheduled Tribe status.
