Udupi, Aug 23: “People are speaking about what would have been the situation of India during the present crisis in Afghanistan, if Narendra Modi was not the prime minister. So it is natural for people or parties who have lost the confidence of the public to express this kind of criticism. People have blessed us from the past 10 years in various stages. These kinds of criticisms are thought by people who are away from the thoughts and minds of people. No one could have managed the situation so well. Congress is criticising BJP as public is with the BJP,” said minister Sunil Kumar on Monday August 23. He spoke to the media on a number of other issues.
The minister said, “Kannada and culture department, youth department and education departments are mulling a new plan to celebrate 39 Jayanthis in a meaningful manner. The Platinum jubilee celebration and environment of patriotism development in the state is also being given thought. Within 10 to 15 days this will be discussed in the assembly session and final form will be given.
“The government is mulling to establish the Narayanaguru corporation. Chief minister Basavaraj Bommai has made a proposal. After one round of discussion on the limits of the corporation and grant, an announcement on the same will be done.
“Discussion has already started on limiting the timing of Nadageethe and how the photo of Kannadambe Bhuvaneshwari should be presented. We will give a logical conclusion to this issue.
“Discussion is on with regards to prepaid meters and smart meters. Nothing is finalized. Pros and cons of both will be assessed and implemented.
“Schools might start in the first week of September,” he said.
