GST notices in Karnataka was bid to recover revenue lost to guarantee schemes: Mysuru MP
Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, MP from Mysuru, said that the GST notices served to small traders was a desperate attempt by the government of Karnataka to recover revenue lost due to 'unscientific guarantee schemes that are a drain on the exchequer'. Though Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has ordered withdrawal of the notices, the controversy is yet to die down. Mr. Yaduveer took to social media to urge the government of Karnataka to prioritise public awareness over abrupt enforcement. The controversial tax notices, which targeted micro enterprises, including bakeries and condiment vendors, demanded lakhs of rupees in dues — some dating back four to five years — sparking widespread panic among small traders. Though the Congress leaders in Mysuru blamed the Centre for the GST notices, Mr. Yaduveer insisted that they were not issued by the Central Government, but by the Commercial Tax Department of the government of Karnataka. 'This move is deeply concerning,' he said, adding that small businesses have been targeted without any prior guidance or awareness campaign. The enforcement drive was not just ill-timed, but also poorly thought out, and motivated by the need to make up for fiscal mismanagement, he alleged. The MP further criticised the manner in which the notices were served, highlighting the setback to digital payment adoption. 'Such actions are discouraging UPI usage in local businesses, undermining the nation's digital payment ecosystem and creating fear among merchants,' he said in his social media post. The MP also criticised the attempts being made by the Congress to blame the Centre. 'Efforts to portray this as a Central Government decision are misleading. Current GST rules apply only to businesses with turnover above ₹40 lakh. This sudden enforcement seems like a veiled attempt to gradually push even the smallest traders into the GST ambit,' said Mr. Yaduveer. Calling for a more responsible approach from the State Government, he said the focus should be on creating awareness, transparency and supporting digital transactions rather than weakening them.

People being made to believe NDRF grant is state govt grant: MP
Madikeri: People are being made to believe that the central NDRF grant is a state govt grant, alleged Yaduveer Wadiyar , Mysore MP. Speaking at a public grievance meeting held at the Gonikoppa Durga Boji Hall, he said the state govt has reached financial bankruptcy by giving various benefits. Therefore, development works are not progressing not only in the district, but across the state, he said. Taking a dig at the Congress govt, Yaduveer said a caste census survey was conducted spending Rs 169 crore, but still, the report was not disclosed. He urged that people should develop the attitude of questioning the alleged mismanagement of money by the govt. "There is no need for us to openly tell the scams of the state govt. The functionaries of the Congress party themselves are exposing it," Yaduveer stated.

Yaduveer inspects facilities atop Chamundi Hills ahead of Aashada Friday
Mysuru: A day ahead of the second Friday in the Hindu month of Aashada, during which over 1.5 lakh devotees are expected to throng the Chamundi Hills to have darshan of Goddess Chamundeshwari at Sri Chamundeshwari Temple, Mysuru MP Yaduveer Wadiyar visited the pilgrimage site and inspected the facilities provided to the devotees. Following public complaints of mismanagement during the first Aashada Friday on June 27, the MP reviewed the arrangements at the temple and inspected facilities in place for devotees. His inspection covered areas designated for Rs 2,000 special darshan tickets, Rs 300 tickets, and general darshan. Yaduveer held discussions with Sri Chamundeshwari Kshetra Development Authority secretary Roopa and instructed officials to immediately address the issues raised by devotees. He expressed concern over the Rs 2,000 ticket system, which has drawn criticism from the public. "Darshan of the Goddess must be accessible to all, not just to those who can afford special tickets," he said. He emphasised the need to revise the ticketing system and ensure fairness and inclusivity in temple access. While acknowledging that crowding and minor inconveniences are natural during peak seasons, Yaduveer urged the authorities to improve arrangements and ensure a smoother experience for all pilgrims.
