Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that there was no question of seeking Primary and Secondary Education Minister Tanveer Sait’s resignation.
Speaking with mediapersons here on Sunday, he said, there was a lot of difference between the BJP ministers’ case and that of Tanveer Sait. Sait had not seen the sleazy photos intentionally during the Tipu Jayanti celebrations in Raichur recently, while the BJP ministers had watched pornography in the Assembly intentionally.
“The cyber crime division of the police department is investigating the case and further steps will be taken only after receiving its report,” he said.
Drought relief
On the drought situation in Karnataka, he said a report had been submitted to the
Centre and the Central teams had visited the state and toured the affected districts.
“We have urged the Centre to release Rs 4,656 crore towards compensation. I will visit New Delhi shortly and appeal once again to the Centre to release funds,” he said.
When his attention was drawn towards former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy’s second residence in Hubballi and his assurance to the farmers that he will waive all farm loans if the JD(S) was voted to power, Siddaramaiah said the JD(S) will not come to power at any cost, that is why Kumaraswamy was giving unrealistic assurances.
