JD(S) National Executive lauds Kumaraswamy government in Karnataka

Bangalore, Jan 29 (UNI) The National Executive of the Janata Dal (Secular) here today lauded the H D Kumaraswamy led coalition government for putting Karnataka and on the fast lane of development.

In a resolution, adopted unanimously, it said Karnataka was emerging as a model state. The government had successfully managed 'two communally surcharged incidents having the potential to rupture the communal fabric through its swift, stern and resolute action', it noted.

While stressing that it was not against creation of any Special Economic Zones, the meeting opined that it should not be at the cost of poor farmers or their productive agricultural land. Land sharks should not be allowed to get away under t he garb of infrastructure buildings, it cautioned.

The resolution said the Karnataka government had also demonstrated how the previous regimes turned the state into a haven of illegal mining' by diverting from public sector thousands of hectares of areas for mining by private people. This only led to a few people including some powerful politicians to plunder the state's mineral wealth for personal enrichment, it added.

The meeting appreciated the state government's efforts in this regard to cleanse the system and to put to use the state's resources for development and not to fill the coffers of a chosen few.
