Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said Tuesday that the Congress would send its MLA Gaviyappa, Chief Minister, a show-cause notice for his remarks on assurances, but that the government would not stop guarantee initiatives.

Gaviyappa urged Siddaramaiah to cancel two or three guarantee schemes, citing difficulties in housing developments. He asserted that the government’s capacity to supply housing was hampered by the implementation of free travel and other programs.
Shivakumar addressed the matter, saying, I don’t think he has made a statement like this. If so, we will send him a show-cause notice to provide an explanation. We have made promises to the state’s citizens, and we will uphold them no matter what. No Congress party MLA should criticize the assurance plans; if they do, we will take action.
He responded, I am traveling to Delhi to meet with Union ministers regarding the Mahadayi project, when asked about the trip. Additionally, I shall participate in Hemanth Soren’s swearing-in ceremony as Jharkhand’s CM-designate. Additionally, I will be talking with our leaders on the arrangements for the 100th anniversary celebration of the AICC convention in Belagavi.
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi responded, “Very happy if he can get the approval for Mahadayi, when asked if the Center would approve the project as soon as possible. Deve Gowda, the former prime minister, also promised to secure sanction for the Mekedatu project.
He responded, Of course, Congress head office is like our temple, when asked if he will meet with the Congress high leadership. When I get there, I’ll meet our leaders.
He answered, I don’t know about it, in response to a question concerning the cabinet reshuffle. When I have more information, I will discuss it. You ought to ask the AICC General Secretary and the Chief Minister this question.
When asked if ministers should be prepared to leave their positions, he responded, “It is not now; there is still time for it.”
