BJP MPs in the state are unfit to continue in their positions: DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru: As we promised yesterday, the KPCC is giving a cheque of Rs 1 crore to KSRTC to facilitate free transportation to passengers. They are, however, not ready to accept the cheque. Anyhow we will send the cheque, KPCC president DK Shivakumar said.
He was speaking to reporters at the city's Majestic Bus Stand after meeting the thousands of migrant workers who are stranded and struggling to get to their hometowns.
"The state government decided to provide free transportation for three days only after Congress awaken them. This should be extended for at least six days," he demanded.
Workers and laborers are building this nation. You stay with your family for a week, then come back and begin your works. We will protect you no matter however big the problem is. We will take care of you even if we have to give our lives, Shivakumar said.
Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah, KPCC Secretary Saleem Ahmad, MLA Dinesh Gundurao, and others were present.

Four of family found dead in Maharashtra’s Nanded district in suspected mass suicide
Nanded (PTI): A farmer, his wife and their two sons were found dead in two different locations in Maharashtra’s Nanded district on Thursday morning, in what police suspect to be a mass suicide, an official said.
Around 8 am, the bodies of Ramesh Sonaji Lakhe (51) and his wife Radhabai Lakhe (45) were discovered on a cot in their home at Jawala Murar village in Mudkhed tehsil, he said.

The bodies of their sons, Umesh (25) and Bajrang (23), were subsequently found on nearby railway lines. It appears they jumped in front of a speeding train, the official said.
Police inspector Dattatray Manthale told reporters, “The parents were found dead inside their home, while the sons took their lives on the railway tracks. We have asked a Forensic Science Laboratory team to collect evidence. The truth will come out only after a thorough technical investigation and autopsy.”
While the nature of their death appears to be part of a suicide pact, police said the exact circumstances remain unclear.
The family belonged to the small-scale farming community, but it is not yet confirmed if financial distress or a domestic crisis triggered the extreme step, the official said.
Neighbours described the Lakhes as a hardworking family who struggled against the odds of small-land farming to sustain themselves.
The Nanded rural police are recording statements of relatives and checking for notes or final messages left by the family.
