Following appeals by members of all parties, Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti scheduled time on Tuesday to discuss issues concerned to north Karnataka in the House.
Mr. Horatti, on Monday, announced that soon after the Question Hour, the entire day would be devoted for north Karnataka issues. "People and media have been criticising accusing the legislators of wasting time here without discussing issues related to north Karnataka," he said.
Earlier, raising the issue, Leader of Opposition S.R.Patil said, "We are feeling guilty. The House should discuss issues related to irrigation projects, development of backward areas in the House. The chairman should fix specific time for the debate."
Go back
BJP member Lakshman Savadi said the public were disappointed with the way the discussions were being held. "If there is any issue with land grabbing against any person, raise it in Bengaluru, not here. People are commenting that the ministers, legislators had come here for a picnic and visit Goa in the weekend. If you can't discuss issues bothering this area, better adjourn the session and go back to Bengaluru," he said.
JD(S) member K.T. Srikante Gowda, Congress member C.M. Ibrahim also expressed similar opinions.
