Mysuru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that he will decide on Primary Education minister Tanveer Sait, who allegedly watched nude pictures during Tipu Jayanti celebrations, after the CID report on the incident reaches him. He was speaking to mediapersons near his residence in Sharadadevinagar here on Sunday morning.
The CM said BJP ministers had deliberately watched porn during the Legislative Assembly session a few years ago and that was the reason why the Congress (then in the opposition) had demanded their resignation. There was a difference between the episode involving BJP ministers and the Sait incident.
Mr Siddaramaiah also took potshots at JD(S) state president H.D. Kumaraswamy saying he may be wooing farmers claiming he would waive their loans if his party comes to power but there was no chance of this happening.
On the drought that has gripped the state, the CM said the state had sought Rs 4,656 crore from the Centre. Two state ministers have held discussions with the Centre and he would meet Union ministers when he visits Delhi.
Referring to Belagavi session, Mr Siddaramaiah said it will focus on problems related to North Karnataka. A huge crowd flocked the residence of the CM during the customary Janata Darshan Sunday morning. Employees of Falcon Tyres, which is closed for the past two years, staged a protest along with their family members, and presented a memorandum to him seeking his intervention.
