Bengaluru, Mar 27: Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “lying spree”, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy disputed former’s claim that the Karnataka government had not given details of beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme.

In a tweet, Mr. Kumaraswamy said that Karnataka has given data of 9.9 lakh registered farmer beneficiaries to the Union government. To prove his point, he tagged the March 8 letter written by Agriculture Commissioner of Karnataka, Brijesh Kumar Dikshit, to Joint Secretary and CEO of PM-KISAN, Union Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers’ Welfare Department, Vivek Aggarwal.

Informing him about the validation and uploading details of small and marginal farmers eligible to receive the benefits, the letter, however, states that only 17 beneficiaries have been approved and of them 6 have received the first instalment.

“There is lot of anxiety among the applicant eligible farmers regarding when they would receive the first instalment. All payments in case of Karnataka are Aadhaar-based, thereby requiring no checking/verification of bank account number and IFSC code,” the letter said.

While Mr. Kumaraswamy mentions that 9.9 lakh farmers’ data has been given, the letter to the Centre, however, mentions that 3,10,967 lakh small and marginal farmers have been validated.

The letter has also requested the Union Agriculture Department to take up the matter of non receipt of the first instalment under PM-KISAN by eligible farmers of Karnataka and get their accounts credited with the same at the earliest.

JD(S) leader G T Devegowda backs CM Siddaramaiah in MUDA row, taunts HDK

Mysuru: Chairman of JD(S) core committee and Chamundeshwari constituency MLA G T Devegowda on Thursday expressed his solidarity with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah saying the latter need not resign, while lambasting leaders of his own party and alliance partner BJP, including Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy.

In his speech during Mysuru Dasara inauguration he said that if persons against whom FIR is registered have to resign, many leaders from all the three parties, including Opposition Leader R Ashoka, will have to resign.

“All are sitting in glass houses... Since I know Siddaramaiah well, I am talking about him. At a time when mines and real estate are ruling politics, Siddaramaiah has survived in politics. He has never done any favour,” Devegowda said.

He added, “Allegations against Siddaramaiah are unexpected and accidental. If the Governor and Chief Justice order an investigation, it does not mean that he should resign."

He continued, asking, "Have they told Siddaramaiah to resign or have they asked to imprison him? When a person becomes a Central minister, he or she should realise their dignity and responsibility. Instead of recognising the good work done by Siddaramaiah, they ask him to resign. Will Kumarswamy (facing an FIR) resign? Should Siddaramaiah, who has become CM with a support of 135 MLAs, resign?"

"Opposition leaders are not remembering the good work of earlier CMs Kengal Hanumanthaiah, Veerendra Patil, Ramakrishna Hegde, H D Deve Gowda or S M Krishna. Karnataka is a model state. It is a bad trend to topple an elected government which is doing good work,” he further said.

Devegowda added, “Siddaramaiah is Goddess Chamundeshwari’s ‘Varaputra’ and hence has her blessings during tough times. He won the election in Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, when the BJP-JD(S) government was in power in 2006. With the blessings of the Goddess, he has held varied positions right from becoming an MLA for the first time in 1983. He presented 15 budgets and has become CM for a second time. He took H C Mahadevappa, a Dalit leader to the state level. Siddaramaiah has the support of Deputy CM D K Shivakumar as ‘Jodeththu’. Blessings of the beneficiaries of guarantee schemes are with him (Siddaramaiah).”

Siddaramaiah said, “Devegowda was a MUDA member. He knows the truth. Hence, he is saying this. His words have filled strength in me. ‘Satyameva Jayate’, Truth will always triumph.”
