Karnataka Today: International flight operations begin at KIA Terminal 2, and more
The opposition BJP wants the Karnataka government to convince Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin about the ground realities with respect to Cauvery water storage instead of leading an all-party delegation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Former chief minister Basavaraj Bommai alleged that the Congress is trying to mislead people by trying to take an all-party delegation to the Prime Minister, who would not come into the picture as the dispute over sharing of Cauvery river water between the two neighbouring States is before the Supreme Court.
Former chief minister Basavaraj Bommai has demanded that Statistics and Planning Minister D. Sudhakar step down if the case filed against him comes under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Prevention of Atrocities Act.
An FIR was registered against the Minister for alleged land grabbing. The police have also charged him under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Prevention of Atrocities Act and under Sections 427 (mischief to cause loss or damage), 143 (unlawful assembly), 147 (rioting), 447 (criminal trespass) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code.
