Bangalore, Sep 3: The Lokayukta office has released the list of 29 MLAs and three MLCs who have not submitted statements of assets and liabilities of their own and their family members.

A press release from the Lokayukta said that Section 22(1) of the Karnataka Lokayukta Act, 1984, mandates that every public servant mentioned in sub section (1) of Section 7 other than a government servant, should submit before June 30 every year a statement of his/her assets and liabilities and those of family members.

Following are the rest of the MLAs: Munirathna from Rajarajeshwarinagar, Sathish Reddy M from Bommanahalli, Shivanna B from Anekal, Guru Patil Shiraval from Shahapur, Mallikarjun Sidramappa Khuba from Basavakalyan, Dr Shivaraj Patil S from Raichur, Channabasappa Satyappa Shivalli from Kundgol, Abbayya Prasad from Hubli-Dharwad East, Manohar H Tahsildar from Hangal, Bheemanaik LBP from Hagaribommanahalli, Shivamurthy K from Mayakonda, Ningaiah B B from Mudigere, Shadakshari K from Tiptur, Sudhakara Lal P R from Koratagere, Rajanna M from Shidlaghattta, Krishnareddy J K from Chintamani, Dr Srinivasamurthy K from Nelamangala, Balakrishna H C from Magadi, Puttannaiah K S from Melukote, Manju A from Arakalagud, Mohiuddin Bava B A from Mangalore City North, Mahesh S R from Krishnaraja Nagar, Jayanna S from Kollegal. The MLCs are Tara Anuradha, Raghunath Rao Malkapure and Syed Mudheer Aga.

Kumaraswamy claimed the government had acquired a piece of land owned by him at Bidadi for the gas pipeline project. Though the government has given Rs 20 lakh compensation per acre, it has not yet provided all documents in this regard. Hence the delay in filing the affidavit of assets and liabilities before the Lokayukta.

He said the same would be done soon after he received all documents. It was mandatory to furnish all documents to the Lokayukta along with the affidavit, he added.

New Delhi: Seeking to strengthen bilateral ties, India and the Maldives on Monday inked a currency swap agreement to the tune of $400 million, a move that would help the archipelago nation overcome foreign exchange reserve issues.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and visiting Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu also launched Rupay card in the Maldives, inaugurated the new runway at the Hanimadhoo International airport and agreed to further strengthen bilateral relations that had hit a rocky patch last year.

Muizzu, who is on a four-day state visit, held talks with Prime Minister Modi at the Hyderabad House here.

After the talks, India also handed over 700 social housing units to the Maldives built under the EXIM Bank’s buyer’s credit facilities.

"Today, we have inaugurated the redeveloped Hanimaadhoo Airport. Now, the Greater Male Connectivity Project will also be expedited. We will also support the development of a new commercial port in Thilafushi," Modi told reporters here with Muizzu by his side.

Modi said India and Maldives have decided to initiate discussion on the Free Trade Agreement to further strengthen economic ties.

The prime minister described Maldives as a "close friend" which had an important position in India's neighbourhood policy and SAGAR vision.

"India has always fulfilled the responsibilities of a neighbour. Today, we have taken up the vision of a comprehensive economic and maritime security partnership to give our mutual cooperation a strategic direction," Modi said.

Earlier, Muizzu was accorded a ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhawan by President Droupadi Murmu. Prime Minister Modi was also present on the occasion.

Muizzu was given a tri-services guard of honour before he drove down the Rajghat to offer his respects at the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi.

The ties between India and the Maldives came under severe strain since Muizzu, known for his pro-China leanings, took charge of the top office in November.

Muizzu won the presidential election last year on the 'India out' campaign and asked New Delhi to withdraw its military personnel posted in the archipelago nation by May this year.

The bilateral ties also hit a rocky patch when Maldivian ministers were critical of Modi. However, Muizzu has since toned down his anti-India stance and even sacked ministers who were critical of the Indian prime minister.

As the Maldives was grappling with a serious economic downturn, India has decided to extend vital budgetary support to the Maldives government with the rollover of a $50 million Treasury Bill for another year.
