Nalin Kumar Kateel to be blamed for Vijaya Bank merger with Bank of Baroda: Mahabala Marla
Mangaluru: Former Mayor of the Mangaluru City Municipal Council and District Congress spokesperson Mahabala Marla on Wednesday blamed BJP MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, for the merger of Vijaya Bank with Bank of Baroda.
Speaking at a press conference at the Congress election office at Bendorwell here, Mahabala said “Nalin Kumar Kateel recently said that Congress leader Veerappa Moily and Chidambaram were to be blamed for the merger of the bank, but in reality he has made those allegations to for political gains ahead of the LS Election”.
“For last three years, the Central government did not appoint committee officers for any bank nor did they appoint any government representative for any bank. This was done to hide the irregularities of the government which was providing illegal profits to the corporate entities. Nalin Kumar already knew in advance that this is going to be the fate of Vijaya Bank. He could have resolved the issue by calling for a all party meeting, but he did not opt for it fearing losing out on his ticket from the constituency. Now he is making allegations against senior Congress leaders to cover up his mistakes and blunders” Mahabala said.
Suresh Ballal, TK Sudhir, Stani Alwares, J. Abdul Salim and others were present at the press conference along with Mahabala.

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.
