Chamarajnagar: Minister for Water Resources Ramesh Jarkiholi has claimed that he can get 5 Congress legislators to resign and join the BJP if the high command wished.

He had visited Mysuru and Chamarajnagar districts and spent two days inspecting the development works in the Kollegal Taluk of Chamarajnagar.

On Friday, he addressed reporters near the Gundal reservoir and said that he would need just a week to get the five legislators to resign from the Congress. “At least 22 legislators of the Congress are still in my control,” he said.

“Congress is a sinking ship. People who join the party are fools. I will stay with the BJP till the end of my political career. Returning to the Congress is out of the question,” Jarkiholi stated.

Kolkata, Apr 26: Authorities at the Kolkata airport on Friday received an email claiming bombs were planted at various places on its premises, triggering a frantic search across the facility, officials said.

However, the mail, which threatened that the bombs will explode at 12.55 pm, turned out to be a hoax, they said.

Security agencies at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (NSCBIA) conducted a thorough search operation following the email, said Aishwariya Sagar, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Airport Division of Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate.

“After carrying out an extensive search operation, the security personnel concluded that the threat was a hoax,” she said.

Airport authorities, the CISF and the Bidhannagar Police are jointly carrying out an investigation to determine the origin and sender of the email, the officials said.

“We are in the process of tracking the origin of the email,” Sagar said.
