Sullia court issues warrant against KPCC President D. K. Shivakumar
Sullia: Sullia court has issued a warrant against KPCC President D. K. Shivakumar for not complying with previous summons orders related to a case that was made against the Congress leader when he was the Energy Minister. During his tenure as the Minister for Energy DK Shivakumar had gotten into a conflict with a man from Ballary, who had contacted him regarding energy-related issues. He had been issued several summonses related to the case but the Congress leader had been a no-show, it is learned.
The Judge has declared the case of miss-attendance to the court summons by DK Shivakumar as a serious matter and also sent an order to the IGP and DIGP to present him before the courts. The next session of the court has been scheduled for September 29.
On February 28th of 2016, the former President of Ballary’s Association of Traders Sai Giridhar had phoned D. K. Shivakumar who was the Minister of Energy during the time, to relay about the relentless power cuts happening in the region. It is learned that a war of words had ensued between the two and that some unsavoury words were also used in the altercation. Concerning this, Energy Minister D. K. Shivakumar had facilitated the MESCOM MD through the then Sulya Mescom’s A.E.E Harish Naik to register a complaint with the police against Sai Giridhar. The police who had registered the complaint against Giridhar had then arrested him.
In this case, DK Shivakumar had been a witness but he had not attended the court session to give his witness statement, it is learned. Three summons had been issued for his attendance in this regard and a warrant had also been issued. However, he had still not presented himself before the court. Now, the newly appointed judge has issued an order for D. K. Shivakumar to present himself before the court.

Power struggle in ruling Cong has 'created massive confusion' in Karnataka: BJP leader Ashoka
Bengaluru (PTI): BJP leader R Ashoka on Friday claimed that the ongoing power struggle between Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar has created massive confusion in Karnataka.
He remarked that the proverb “when two people fight, the third one benefits” has come true, as AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge is also now making efforts to become Chief Minister.
Speaking to reporters here, Ashoka said the entire government has turned into a house of confusion due to the alleged power tussle.
Kharge’s new statement has only added to the chaos, he said.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge had on Friday said that no date has been fixed yet to discuss possible leadership change in Karnataka.
This came a day after Kharge said there was no change of CM in Karnataka "for now" and that the leadership issue in the state would be resolved soon.
The BJP leader said that Kharge too has aspirations and that he was cheated earlier.
"Perhaps he has received a green signal from the Congress high command to become CM. Everyone is already saying Kharge should become CM. Kharge himself has declared, “I am ready to become CM.” Despite many attempts in the past, he never became CM. Now he is trying to seize the opportunity," the Leader of Opposition in the state assembly said.
According to him, the situation in Congress has perfectly become a case of “two people fighting, third one benefits.”
