Still in JDS, Supporting BJP says Former MLA Mohiuddin Bava
Mangaluru: Former Mangaluru City North MLA B A Mohiuddin Bava said that he was still in JDS and would extend his support to BJP. He was addressing the media in the Press Club in Mangaluru on Monday. However he refused to agree with all the policies of BJP, Mohiuddin Bava stated.
Conveying his supporters wish for him to contest in the upcoming general elections, Mohiuddin Bava said that he would take a decision after consulting with his well-wishers at a meeting in Jamiyyatul Falah hall, Kankanady on March 28.
Responding to the query about his leaving JDS, the former MLA stated that he was still in the party and had accepted its alliance with BJP. “Nevertheless, I don’t agree with BJP on all terms. I clearly oppose its stand on CAA, hijab and azan. I had even disapproved Kumaraswamy’s visit to Kalladka School”, he added.

Attributing his loss of ticket for the previous Vidhana Sabha election to the Congress state president, Mohiuddin Bava grieved that the party had neglected him completely while he fasted and waited for the leaders, while welcoming defecting BJP leader Jagadish Shettar by helicopters.
“So I was forced to join JDS. I contested from JDS even though my supporters wanted me to be an independent candidate. I will not repeat that mistake this time. I shall follow their suggestions”, Bava said.

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.
