    Karnataka CM meets Shah on rice issue, says he got assurance of help

    Bengaluru (IANS) | Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has assured him to take up the issue of supply of rice from the Food Corporation of India (FCI) with the Union minister concerned. Speaking to reporters at Karnataka Bhavan in New Delhi, Siddaramaiah said that he had requested Amit Shah not to do politics regarding the supply of rice to the poor in Karnataka.

    Siddaramaiah said, the matter of giving letter of supply of rice by FCI and canceling it the very next day was brought to his notice. Amit Shah has assured that he will talk to the minister concerned.

    Siddaramaiah also said that the state has been provided with two battalions of the Indian Reserve Police (IRP) and has been requested to provide two more.

    The Chief Minister also discussed with Amit Shah how the policy of the Central Government is affecting the poor people and told Amit Shah that the policy of the Center is against the Food Security Act and will directly affect the poor.

    Siddaramaiah had earlier alleged that the Center was playing politics with regard to the free rice distribution scheme.

    Siddaramaiah had said, it was agreed to provide 2,08,425 metric tonnes of rice to Karnataka. But, he wrote a letter on June 13 saying that wheat and rice cannot be made available to the states under the Open Market Sales Scheme (OMSS). The government has taken a political decision of not giving rice only to defame the Congress government.

    The Congress government of Karnataka is planning to provide 10 kg free rice to all BPL cardholder families under the Anna Bhagya scheme. It has announced the launch of the scheme on 1st July. However, due to non-availability of rice, the government is saying that the launch of the scheme will be delayed.

    Bengaluru: Youth makes hoax bomb threat to employer, caught

    BENGALURU: A staffer of an MNC in Ecospace, Bellandur, was detained on Tuesday on charges of making a hoax bomb call to his employer.
    Prasad Navneenth, 25, is a resident of Byappanahalli and from Kerala. Navneeth was working as a senior associate with BDO-Rise, which provides client services across sectors, until he was disallowed from entering the office over performance issues, police said, adding that the company was contemplating sacking him. Earlier in the day, Navneeth had called the firm, from his mobile phone, seeking to speak to some of his seniors and team members. However, his request was denied. After making a few more futile calls, Navneeth is said to have told the firm that he had placed a bomb there and it would go off within 30 minutes.
    A little later, Navneeth called again from his mobile and said he had made a false claim. However, by then, the firm had contacted police. “An anti-sabotage team, bomb disposal squad, local police and sleuths from the city intelligence and Internal Security Division, about 60 personnel in all, scoured the premises and declared it a hoax call by 3pm. By then, another police team had traced the suspect and detained him,” a cop said.
    Police said they have registered a non-cognizable report and will convert into an FIR after court permission.

    Karnataka Congress President D.K. Shivakumar, state in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala and Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah held a virtual meeting with all the candidates on Thursday night and talked to them in detail about how they should not become victims of Operation Lotus.

The candidates have been asked to reach Bengaluru as soon as they get a head start and are sure of their victory. Sources said that the candidates have also been asked to stay at a particular place till the government is formed.
