Why PM Modi was not questioned about petrol price hike: HDK
“Answer to BJP that criticizes budget”
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

Three company directors held in Rs 100-crore investment fraud in Kochi
Kochi (Kerala) (PTI): Police on Sunday arrested three directors of a firm accused of cheating hundreds of investors of over Rs 100 crore through a fake investment scheme linked to agricultural tourism here, officials said.
The accused were identified as Muraleedharan, Ashik Murali and Akhil Murali, all natives of Thrissur.
The arrests were made by the Kalamassery police in connection with a fraud involving ATCOS (Agri Tourism Cooperative Society), a firm headquartered at Pathadipalam here.
Police said the company had promised high returns by collecting investments from the public in the agricultural tourism sector, but allegedly cheated hundreds of people and fled with the money.
ATCOS was registered under the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act and operated 13 branches across various districts in Kerala, besides a branch in Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, officials said.
When investors failed to receive their promised returns or the invested amount, complaints were filed with the police.
Officials said around 54 cases have been registered against the firm in 32 police stations across the state, including 29 cases at the Kalamassery police station alone.
Following instructions from Kochi City Police Commissioner K S Mahesh Kumar, a special investigation team was formed under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Shehensha and Thrikkakara ACP Manoj Kumar.
The team traced the accused to an apartment in Amala Nagar in Thrissur, where they had been hiding after secretly renting the flat, officials said.
The bank accounts of the accused have been frozen, and steps have been initiated to trace their assets, officials said.
Police also conducted a raid at the company’s office at Pathadipalam and seized several documents related to the case.
The accused were produced before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court in Kalamassery, which remanded them to judicial custody and sent them to Kakkanad jail.
Police said they would seek the custody of the accused for further interrogation as the investigation continues.
