Alliance candidates to win all 28 seats: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today expressed hope that Congress-JDS alliance candidates would win in all the 28 constituencies.
He was speaking with presspersons after Congress candidate Krishnabyre Gowda filed nomination from Bangalore North Lok Sabha constituency on Tuesday.
"Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda, who represents the Bangalore North Lok Sabha constituency, had no contribution to the development of this region in the past five years," Siddarmaiah criticised.
"Congress candidates will emerge victorious in all the three Lok Sabha constituencies in the Bangalore district. Krishnabyregowda has been fielded from the Bangalore North constituency to keep the communal party out of power," the former chief minister said.
Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar, Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan and others were present.

Ranchi: Temple guard bludgeoned to death during robbery attempt, 3 held
Ranchi (PTI): A 60-year-old security guard of a temple in Ranchi was bludgeoned to death with a stone during a robbery attempt, police said on Saturday.
The incident happened late on Thursday at the Jagannath Temple in the Dhurwa Smart City area, they said.
"Three persons were arrested on Friday for killing the security guard. They confessed to the crime and told police that the victim had identified them. Therefore, in fear of being caught, they killed him by attacking him with a stone on his head," SSP Rakesh Ranjan said.
"Thereafter, they took money from the donation box and fled the scene. Two of them have criminal antecedents," he added.
Ranjan said the investigators recovered Rs 3 lakh in cash that had been robbed, the stone with blood-stained marks, and the iron rod used to break open the lock of the donation box kept there.
An FIR in this regard was lodged at the Dhurwa police station, he said, adding that the accused were sent to judicial custody by a court.
