Tax office to attach Karnataka Congress Minister’s property

January 8, 2019 by Nasheman

Nasheman News : The Income-Tax (I-T) Department would soon issue orders for attaching the property of Karnataka’s Congress Minister D.K. Shivakumar, a top official said on Monday.

“The case (investigation) on Shivakumar is in progress. We will soon be issuing orders to attach his property,” Karnataka Director-General of Income-Tax (Investigation) B.R. Balakrishhnan told reporters here.

The official, however, declined to give details about the case and the value of the Minister’s property to be attached, location and its nature.

The imminent orders stem from the interrogation the I-T sleuths did with the 56-year-old state Water Resources Minister on January 3 in connection with the alleged tax evasion, money laundering and seizure of cash worth crores from his premises in Bengaluru, Kanakapura and New Delhi during the investigations since August 2017.

Teams of I-T sleuths searched Shivakumar’s residence in early August 2017 when he was looking after then Congress legislators from Gujarat at a resort near Bengaluru.

The three-day searches were conducted under Section 132 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 as an evidence gathering exercise in compliance with the statutory requirements.

Shivkumar was then Energy Minister in the previous Congress government. He is a lawmaker from Kanakapura Assembly segment in Ramaganaram district.

One of the richest politicians in the country, Shivakumar declared assets valued at Rs 840 crore in his nomination papers on April 19 for the May 2018 Assembly elections in the southern state.

On September 15, 2018, the Special Court for Economic Offences granted bail to Shivakumar and three others in a criminate case the I-T Department had filed for alleged evasion of tax and filing of false tax returns.

On Monday, Deputy Commissioners of several districts, including Bengaluru, issued orders for schools to remain closed on Tuesday. The bandh is also likely to affect public transport as buses operated by the state government will mostly stay off the roads as union members are supporting the bandh call.

However, both the BMTC and KSRTC said that the final call will be taken on Tuesday morning after monitoring the situation.  Autorickshaws, cabs and trucks services will continue to ply. The State Bank of India said that it will function, but other nationalised banks are likely to remain closed because of participation by union members.  

Schools and colleges in city will not function on Tuesday, following the bandh call given by various trade unions across the nation. Bengaluru Urban DC Vijay Shankar issued an order declaring a holiday, considering the inconvenience due to lack of  transport.

Elections led by top leaders

January 8, 2019 by Nasheman

The leaders expressed dismay at spending time in trying to attract other status-laden legislators, including the prospect of supplementary atmosphere for the government and the ministerial post. The sources said that the High Command, which carefully sensitized the functioning of the state BJP leaders, intervened in the appropriate context and was considering conducting the entire Lok Sabha election.

Following the cabinet recruitment and recruitment of the Cabinet, the BJP had been in favor of the situation. But after the development of the BJP’s expectations, there has been no provision for government formation. Even after the Makara transition, the state BJP leaders have sunk into account of a huge political change.

The Lok Sabha constituency election nemakavadaru prabharigalu and convener of the meeting has been prepared by many in the country. Some leaders have requested a change in the field of change, since senior leaders have not taken action because they are not in the proportion of the preparedness in those fields. A senior leader said that the party has been backing the organization and reinforcement.


Many of the dissatisfaction with the dissatisfaction over the conduct of the core committee, including the state BJP core committee, The unilateral decisions of the few leaders are undermining the sentiments of lower leaders and activists. In a recent meeting, the House of Representatives also objected to some members elected by the party. The opposition did not find the right answer from the Opposition Council members regarding the selection criteria. There are only a few leaders in the Core Committee, the decisions are taking place. Most of these are personal decisions that make the party’s decisions very low.

BJP high command, which has given a green signal to the government, has been sensitive to the performance of the state BJP leaders. The expectation of the Lok Sabha polls is to be preferred by the government if the effort is made on one hand. However, it is possible that they are not aware that their preparation does not work in accordance with their expectations. The sources said that the chiefs would intervene in the right direction and bring their electoral process under their own supervision.

The High Command hopes that it will be ready for all Lok Sabha elections in addition to utilizing the overall government formation. The BJP national executive meeting will be held in Delhi on 11th and 12th, and all these issues will be discussed. It is said that later preparedness is expected to accelerate.

It is best to focus on the preparation of the Lok Sabha polls without the desire to form the BJP government. It is not okay to waste time for any reason. The Congress and the JDS parties are likely to benefit from the BJP’s weaknesses in the form of government. : Lehrsing, Member of the Legislative Council

All the 28 Lok Sabha constituencies will be taken over by the President and will soon take action to bring the President’s attention to some modifications regarding the appointment of the convenor. As well as the eighth morcha will act as their responsibility. : N. Ravikumar, BJP State General Secretary, Member of the Legislative Council
