In the wake of Praveen s murder, the government s Janotsava was cancelled, the CMs announcement at midnight
Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai said that in the wake of the murder of BJP worker Praveen in Bellary, the state government has canceled the one-year Janotsava programme.
In an emergency press conference called on Wednesday midnight, the CM announced the cancellation of the Janotsava organized in Doddaballapur.
CM Siddaramaiah called a sudden press conference and informed about this, RT. Chief Minister Bommai, who held an emergency press conference at his residence in the city at 12.30 pm on Wednesday, informed that the Janotsavam has been canceled in view of the killing of our party worker Praveen Nettaru in Bellary of Dakshina Kannada district.
The premeditated murder of a very innocent young man is inhumane and reprehensible. There is anger not only in words but also in mind. It is heartbreaking that this incident took place within a few days of Harsha's murder. My conscience did not agree to do Janotsava. So decided to postpone. The CM explained that the state president went to Praveen's house and consoled the family.
By holding Janotsava, our government has launched many programs for the people and we decided to announce further plans. I have noticed the pain of the killing of an innocent and loyal veteran of our party and the feelings of the youth community. Thus, we will continue the programs for youth, dalits, backward and women. All programs held today at Doddaballapur and Vidhana Soudha have been cancelled. However, he also said that the programs and projects for the people will be announced through the media.
A lot of people were going to come to this Janotsava. Basavaraja Bommai said that he apologizes to all the people, leaders and activists of that area for the inconvenience caused to him.
The life of every worker of my party is important to us as well as the life of the common citizen. The sin of those who take the life of the innocent is full. I understand the feelings of young people and act according to their feelings. I sent more than 15 people to Tihar Jail when I was Home Minister. We have the power to level it. So we will take strict action. Authorities are investigating. This is an interstate case. Anything said in this case will affect the investigation. So he said nothing now.
