Bengaluru: BJP leaders do not question Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has set the highest price for petrol. They are criticising me when I hiked the price by Re 1 in the budget, said HD Kumaraswamy.

Speaking after receiving public grievances at his home office Krishna on Saturday, the chief minister said that the BJP leaders were criticizing the budget saying injustice done in the budget. They are telling that I presented the budget only for the loan waiver. But the BJP has no work. They did not understand the Budget. I will respond to their comments within four days in the house itself.

“Many in the Janata Darshan have submitted applications for jobs. Many people, including youths, disabled people,  have appealed. It has been instructed to provide employment to 250 disabled persons. I have discussed the matter with the chief secretary,” the chief minister said.

“I have instructed to pay heed to people’s problem in every district. Today I have passed orders to all the 30 districts’ deputy commissioners of the state to solve the problems. I have held a video conference with the Deputy Commissioners regarding this,” he added.

'Do not commit suicide'

The farmers’ loans have been waived off to prevent farmers from committing suicide. In spite of that, cases of suicide are coming to light from various parts of the state. I have come to save the farmers. Step by step I will solve their problems. No farmer should commit suicide.

-HD.Kumaraswamy, Chief Minister
