Efforts are on to strengthen the Cooperation Department, says Minister

BJP is wasting time over unnecessary issues, says Laxman Savadi

BJP leaders are deliberately disrupting the Assembly proceedings, Minister Laxman Savadi claimed on Sunday. Savadi, the Cooperation Minister, accused the BJP of wasting time and public resources on unnecessary issues. He pointed out that the BJP said it would conduct a crop loss study before the Session, but now they are wasting time discussing irrelevant matters.

Savadi criticized the BJP for not being a responsible Opposition party and for not having the courage to speak. He urged the BJP to present facts with evidence instead of attacking him. Savadi also mentioned that the Lokayukta had cleared B. Nagendra of the allegations against him. He prayed that the BJP would present relevant issues like reduced rainfall and drought impact, and the Union government's assistance in calamity relief to the State.

Savadi, who has been in different parties in his 25 years of public life, emphasized his secular politics and his plans to strengthen the Cooperation Department. He noted that the Union government's Ministry for Cooperation had not introduced any special schemes or projects and that they would work with the existing ones.
