Mangaluru: It was Janardhan Poojari who first told us that Narendra Modi was not right. He might have not stated that Modi must become prime minister again to eradicate corruption. We cannot believe that Janardhan Poojari has made such a statement. Poojari is our political guru. He wishes Rahul Gandhi to become prime minister but never wants Modi to become PM, said Minister UT Khader.

"The BJP and its supporting organizations had threatened Janardhana Poojari and used abusive language against him last time. Now, cadre of the same party are utilising his name by saying that he has praised Modi. Poor from various places of the country have highest respect for Janardhana Poojari. There are several people who worship his portrait," he said.

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.
