Bengaluru, May 12: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday said the Congress is summoning their candidates and talking to other parties because they know their party is not getting majority in Karnataka assembly election and do not trust their candidates.

“There are two meanings to it. Firstly, they won’t get a majority. Therefore they are trying to talk to other parties. And secondly, they do not have faith in their MLAs,” he told reporters here.

He replied to a question on the Congress summoning their candidates and booking resorts in Bengaluru in the fear of BJP launching Operation Kamala to buyout winning candidates to form the next government.

The Congress has summoned their candidates to Bengaluru after a majority of exit polls predicted a fractured mandate in the Karnataka assembly election, the polling for which culminated on Wednesday at 6pm.

Karnataka recorded the highest-ever voter turnout of 73.19 per cent since the 1952 assembly election.

Asked about the possibilities of a post-poll alliance with JDS to form a coalition government, Bommai said as of now there is no such a possibility as the BJP is getting a comfortable majority.

Reacting to Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar’s claim that the Congress would secure 141 seats, Bommai said: “Well let him be happy with 141 till tomorrow. the reality will emerge.”

Asked who would be the chief ministerial face after the party wins the election, Bommai said, “Let us see. It will be decided in the legislature party and parliamentary board meetings.”

Replying to a query on post-poll alliance with JDS, Bommai said, “I just saw that Kumaraswamy said he will not be a kingmaker, but become a king. Everybody has his own right to make his assessment.”

The polling for the Karnataka assembly election concluded on Wednesday evening, with the state registering a voter turnout of 73.19 per cent, which poll officials on Thursday termed a record while sharing the final figures.

According to Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, the central government has released Rs.500 crore for the Tumkur Smart City Project.

According to Bommai, the central government has agreed to fund a 6,000-kilometer national highway in the state, as well as rail under and over bridges.

Bommai stated that 9500 crore has been transferred to farmer bank accounts through the Raitha Sanman scheme. The Ayushman Bharath Scheme has been extended to 1 crore people, and a sufficient number of Jan Aushad centres have been established. The welfare programmes speak volumes about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s work. The rail projects in Tumkur, Shira, Chitradurga, and Davangere have been approved by the Modi government. Funds have been released to farmers for crop input subsidies and port improvements, according to the Chief Minister.

Shira, he said, is a drought-prone taluk, and former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa devised a plan to fill tanks in the taluk with water from the Mudaluru and Upper Bhadra projects. Yediyurappa initiated the project.

According to Bommai, the central government was briefed on the region’s water problems and received permission to fill tanks from two other sources. However, they were unable to fill the Madalur tank. But, as promised, the then-CM Yediyurappa filled up the Madalur tank during the bye-election.

Bommai attacked State Legislative Assembly Leader Siddaramaiah for purportedly criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s contributions. He said, “PM Modi is a true democratic given full autonomy to states and a firm believer in the democratic system. He has given several schemes to Karnataka. Siddaramaiah, while he was the CM, failed to explain correctly the state’s projects and requirements before the 15th Finance Commission because of which the grants had been reduced.”

The 14th edition of Aero India, which is slated to take place from February 13 to 17, 2023 in Bengaluru, will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who made the announcement at the opening of the Collins Aerospace Global Engineering & Tech Center in Bengaluru, according to the news agency PTI.

Aero India, regarded as one of the best aerospace shows, has successfully hosted 13 iterations in Bengaluru since 1996.

It will last for five days and take place at Air Force Station Yelahanka. Senior representatives from the Defense Ministry recently met with Bommai to discuss matters pertaining to Aero India 2023.

The team also assumed responsibility for the Air Force Station’s on-site evaluation. It has expedited this massive event’s planning and implementation in addition to assessment.

According to CM Bommai, Aero India is a global event, thus aerospace businesses in the state should make the most of this opportunity to promote their efforts and potential. He claimed that Indian engineers are extraordinarily gifted, and one of his aspirations is to build a factory in Bengaluru that can produce all of these parts.

Bengaluru, he continued, is the ideal location for the aerospace industry because organisations like the DRDO, NAL, and HAL are already present here. Top-notch R&D facilities for semiconductors, AI, renewable energy, and aerospace are also located in Bengaluru.

Based on its accomplishments, according to Bommai, this institution is developing into a significant engineering hub. The fact that Collins Aerospace Engineering Institution has successfully completed 25 years of operation demonstrates the value of its accomplishments. Commercial aircraft products are well known for being assembled and tested by Collins Aerospace manufacturers.
