Congress files complaint against MP Nalin Kumar Kateel
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee (DCC) has filed a complaint with the electoral officer against MP Nalin Kumar Kateel over his tweet in which he had written on March 11, "Vote for those who had ordered the attack on an enemy country at 3 am and not for those who knock the Supreme Court's doors for a terrorist at 3 am... Modi again."
A delegation led by DCC president K. Harish Kumar and Ivan D'Souza, who is parliamentary secretary to the chief minister, met the election officer and complained that BJP workers, for the past couple of days, were seeking votes by using the names of the country's soldiers.
Such a tweet by the MP to seek votes in the name of Indian Army and to write 'once again Modi' is a clear violation of the Code of Conduct. Therefore, the officer has been urged to register a case against the member of parliament.
District Congress Vice-President Sadashiva Ullal, General Secretary Santosh Kumar Shetty, Secretary Arif Bava, district spokesperson Khalid Ujire, Executive committee members Pius Monteiro, Abdul Saleem, and others were present.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
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.
