BJP threatens statewide stir against internal quota

BJP threatens statewide stir against internal quota

New Indian Express19 hours ago
BENGALURU: BJP MP Govind Karjol said on Thursday that his party will launch a statewide protest from August 1 if the state government fails to implement internal reservation among the Scheduled Castes by July end.
Addressing reporters here, he said many states have implemented it. But the Karnataka government is delaying the process. There seems to be a conspiracy against its implementation.
He said the previous BJP government headed by Basavaraj Bommai formed a committee headed by the then law minister JC Madhuswamy to formulate a policy on internal reservation. He demanded that the Siddaramaiah government implement this policy.
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Haryana have implemented internal reservation. But the Siddaramaiah government is indulging in vote bank politics instead of implementing it, Karjol said.
Justice Nagamohan Das Committee was constituted to create confusion among the people, he alleged. Former Union minister A Narayanswamy said the caste survey was not done properly. Enumerators just pasted stickers outside the houses, claiming that the survey had been done.

'National interest over deadline': Piyush Goyal on India-US trade deal progress

India will not hurry into signing a free trade agreement under pressure from any deadline, commerce minister Piyush Goyal said on Friday, when asked whether a deal could be reached with the US in time for a July 9 deadline set by Washington. Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal speaks at the inauguration of the 16th Toy Biz International B2B Exhibition.(Jitender Gupta/ANI) Speaking on the sidelines of the 16th Toy Biz International B2B Expo in New Delhi, Goyal emphasised that India is ready to make trade deals in the national interest but it 'never negotiates trade deals with a deadline'. When asked specifically about prospects of an interim US deal by July 9, he said any agreement would be announced only when 'fully finalised, properly concluded and in the national interest.' The minister's comments came as India's negotiating team, led by chief negotiator Rajesh Agrawal, returned to Delhi Thursday after week-long talks in Washington. Despite having a draft interim agreement in hand, people familiar with the discussions said, key issues around automobiles and agriculture remain unresolved. The government has refused to fully open its agriculture sector, particularly around genetically modified crops and dairy products. The country remains unwilling to allow items like soybean and corn unless certified as non-GM, since GM crops are banned domestically. 'India was, however, willing to give some product-specific concessions where its farmers were completely protected,' said one of these people, asking not to be named. On dairy, India cited two main concerns: the subsistence-level nature of its farming, where millions depend on just one or two cows or buffaloes, and religious sensitivities around US cattle feed that includes non-vegetarian products. 'The livelihoods of millions of farmers are at stake as they could not compete with America's commercial-scale dairy farms,' said a second person, speaking on condition of anonymity. To protect its farmers, India has softened its initial demand for the US to completely revoke the 26% 'Liberation Day' reciprocal tariff that President Trump announced April 2, the second official stated. The tariff comprises a 10% baseline levy already in effect and an additional 16% country-specific tariff set to trigger July 9. India had originally sought withdrawal of all retaliatory tariffs but appears willing to accept partial relief in exchange for limited agricultural concessions. Outside of these negotiations, India on Friday told the World Trade Organization that it plans to go ahead with levies on some US goods in retaliation to Washington's higher tariffs on automobiles and their components. US' safeguard measures would hit $2.9 billion imports annually from India with $723.75 million in duties. 'Accordingly, India's proposed suspension of concessions would result in an equivalent amount of duty collected from products originating in the US,' according to a notification sent to the WTO. The current negotiations focus on an 'early harvest' deal covering goods alone, which would serve as a precursor to the first tranche of a comprehensive Bilateral Trade Agreement expected by October 2025. That broader deal would include services and investment provisions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Trump agreed in February to more than double bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030 through a full-scale agreement. Goyal noted India is simultaneously negotiating trade deals with multiple partners, having recently concluded agreements with the UAE, Australia and UK, while talks continue with the EU, New Zealand, Oman, Chile and Peru. 'FTAs are possible when both sides benefit,' Goyal said in Hindi. 'National interest should always be supreme.' The two sides will continue engaging virtually as the July 9 deadline approaches, the people cited above added.

His comments came ahead of July 9, when the pause on retaliatory tariffs will expire. Earlier, sources had told News18 that the India-US trade deal will conclude in the next few days as an Indian delegation has returned from Washington after holding high-level talks with officials from the Trump administration. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Whether it is the European Union, New Zealand, Oman, the United States, Chile, or Peru, negotiations for agreements are underway with many countries. A free trade agreement happens only when there is mutual benefit," the minister said When the deal is made while safeguarding India's interests, keeping in mind that national interest will always remain paramount, then India is always ready to make deals with developed countries… India never makes a trade deal based on a timeline; when the deal is good, fully matured, and in the national interest, then we accept it," Goyal added.

Kusum-C scheme: Target to generate 2,400MW solar power for farmers, says George

Hassan: Under the Kusum-C scheme, which aims to solarise agricultural feeders and provide daytime electricity supply to farmers' pumpsets, 200MW of electricity is being produced. In the coming months, 545MW of electricity will be generated, stated energy minister KJ George. Speaking to reporters after the energy department's progress review meeting of Hassan district, held on Friday at the Zilla Panchayat hall in the city, George said, "Under the Kusum-C scheme, construction of solar units with a capacity of around 200MW is completed. In the next few months, solar units with a capacity of 545MW will be commissioned at 93 locations. This will help provide an adequate daytime electricity supply to farmers. " "The state govt has set a target of generating 2,400MW of solar electricity through feeder solarisation of agricultural pumpsets under the Kusum-C scheme. Recently, chief minister Siddaramaiah inaugurated a solar power unit established under the Kusum-C scheme in Gauribidanur. The feeder solarisation work is progressing at a rapid pace," the energy minister added. Under the Kusum-C scheme, generating 1MW of electricity requires 4 acres of land. If govt land is available, CM Siddaramaiah has directed that it be allocated free of cost. However, private power producers must pay Rs 25,000 per acre, which will be deposited with the district commissioner and used to improve govt schools and anganwadis in villages where the substations are located, the minister elaborated. "If private land is used, developers awarded the power generation contracts will lease the land and pay landowners a minimum of Rs 25,000 per acre," George said. Of the 4 lakh unauthorised irrigation pumpsets in the state, 3 lakh are already regularised. For pumpsets within 500m of power feeders, transformers will be installed by the department. Those beyond 500m will receive solar pumpsets under the Kusum-B scheme, he said. Earlier, during a progress review meeting, the district MLAs raised issues concerning the energy department in their constituencies. In response, George instructed the CESC MD to take swift action and reiterated that officials should proactively consult elected representatives and follow through on their suggestions. MP Shreyas Patel, MLA and Housing Board chairman KM Shivalingegowda, MLAs K Manju, Swaroop Prakash, CN Balakrishna, HK Suresh, and S Manjunath, KPTCL MD Pankaj Kumar Pandey, DC S Latha Kumari, and ZP CEO BR Poornima were present.
