Will respond to farmers’ woes irrespective of state’s financial condition: Kumaraswamy
Mysuru: Some media channels have shown that I have taken a U-turn in farm loan policies. I did not make any U-turn. There is no change in my position in giving farm loan waiver, CM-designate HD Kumaraswamy clarified.
Speaking at Chamundeshwari, Mr. Kumaraswamy said that the BJP has no other job. Their only job is to misguide people.
"I will fulfill my assurances. But ours is not an independent government, and it is a coalition government. After discussing with the Congress leaders, we would fulfill the promises made in the manifestos of both the parties. I will respond to the pain of farmers irrespective of state's financial condition and economists' suggestions. The coalition government must resolve the farmers' woes," he stated.
Replying to a query on Siddaramaiah's role in the coalition- government, HDK said "Siddaramaiah will play a key role in the government, and two days it will be revealed. Farmers or anyone in the state, who are in any difficulty, can meet me directly in the Vidhanasoudha. My office will be opened from 6 am onwards," Mr. Kumaraswamy said.

PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer fined for slow over rate vs CSK
Chennai (PTI): Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer was fined Rs 24 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during his team’s IPL 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here.
The last season's runners-up PBKS secured their second sucessive win, defeating five-time champions Chennai Super Kings by five wickets here on Friday.
As this was Punjab Kings’ second offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which relates to minimum over-rate violations, the penalty was enhanced and Iyer was fined Rs 24 lakh, said the IPL media advisory.
"The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, will be fined either INR six lakhs or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser," it added.
