G Parameshwara

There are 6,717 Kannadigas in Toyota Kirloskar amounting to 98% of the total employees, said minister George.

Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara took the metro ride after inaugurating the second six-compartments metro train on the Purple line in Bengaluru.

The contest between two Congress aspirants Sowmya Shivakumar and Gangambike became volatile with the former garnering support from DK Shivakumar, NA Harris and G Parameshwar. However, Reddy being in power for seven times as MLA and holding the post of minister for four times in the past, ensured his supporter gets the post.
 

By-elections were necessitated after three MLCs - Dr G Parameshwara of Congress, V Somanna and KS Eshwarappa from BJP - got elected to Vidhana Sabha in the recently-concluded assembly election.  The coalition partners decided to field MC Venugopal, Naseer Ahmed from Congress and HM Ramesh Gowda from JD(S).

Taking a dig at Karnataka Deputy CM Dr G Parameshwara's claims of clearing 14,299 potholes out of 15,000 doting Bengaluru's streets and only 940 such potholes remaining, activist and BJP spokesperson NR Ramesh said that Bengaluru has over 8,000 such potholes and authorities have misled Dr Parameshwar on the burning civic apathy.

Recently on July 18, Dr Parameshwar, who also happens to be the Bengaluru Development In-Charge Minister, claimed that out of 15,000 plus identified potholes that cause inconvenience to the public, over 14,000 potholes were covered on a war footing. And now only 940 such potholes remain which the minister said will be cleared soon. 

However, activist Ramesh, who claims to have done a reality check in areas like Chamrajpet, Chikpet, Shivajinagar, Gandhinagar and Shanthinagar assembly segments, said that he found more than 1000 such potholes existing. He said that there are over 8000 potholes in Bengaluru. 

During Siddaramaiah's tenure as CM, Rs 1,400 crores were released to develop Bengaluru roads. According to reports, Rs 16.88 crores alone was spent on potholes and remaining Rs 1,222 crores was given to road contractors for development works. Ramesh claimed that these works are of substandard quality and hence each time the potholes are cleared, it develops again with light rains. "I urge that all these contractors should be blacklisted a case should be booked against them," said Ramesh.

After days of speculation with stalwarts like DK Shivakumar in the fray, three-time MLA Dinesh Gundu Rao is now the Karnataka Congress President.
