Udupi: Rubbishing the claims made by Congress in Delhi after releasing Yeddiyurappa’s diary, Udupi-Chikmagalur MP Shobha Karandlaje criticized Congress of stooping low while also terming the diary as fake.

“They have released the diary after writing notes on it by children. People will respond to these allegations during election. It is not right to play gimmick when the elections are approaching. Targeting an individual woman for electoral gains is not right too. They should know how to talk about a woman” Shobha said.

“There are women in Congress too. People respect them. I am a woman too and I am a fighter I live not let Congress silence my voice with personal attack” she added.

Earlier in the day Congress had alleged that BS Yeddiyurappa had paid Rs. 1800 crore to BJP senior leaders including Jaitley and Rajnath Singh when he was  the CM of Karnataka.

Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.

Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.

But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.

Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.

Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.

Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.

In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.

Brief Scores:

Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
