Kumaraswamy to take part in DD's 'Hello CM' prog

Mysore, Apr 24 (UNI) The Bangalore Doordarshan Kendra will telecast a two-hour live programme, 'Hello Chief Minister,' on April 29 during which Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy will reply to queries posed by the public.

Informing this to newspersons here today, Kendra Director Mahesh Joshi clarified that it was not a phone-in programme. The Chandana channel, which was scheduled to telecast the programme from 1600 hrs, had already received thousands of questions from the public, of which 40 had been selected by a Committee. Mr Kumaraswamy would answer these select questions covering all sectors.

He said it was for the first time such a programme was being organised with the Chief Minister. Deputy Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and other ministers had also agreed to take part in similar programmes.
