BJP planning to make Jagadish Shettar taste defeat in LS polls: Laxman Savadi
Bengaluru: “BJP is planning to make former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar taste defeat in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls,” stated Congress MLA and Former Minister Laxman Savadi speaking to reporters in the city on Tuesday.
He further stated, “Shettar had left BJP, joined the Congress, later switched back to the BJP. BJP has now systematically prepared a plan to make him (Jagadish Shettar) a scapegoat by fielding him from the Belagavi Lok Sabha constituency.”

“BJP leaders are trying to bring Jagdish Shettar to Belagavi and taste defeat there. BJP neither wants Shettar to make a statement that he didn't get a ticket to contest the election, nor intends for him to win. BJP's plan is to make him sit at home after losing,” added Savadi.
Savadi further said, “Time has come for BJP’s decline, I had said this during the previous assembly elections. How has the saffron party treated Sadananda Gowda and KS Eshwarappa today? They (BJP) do not need seniors, veterans and those who worked for the party.”

Man arrested with Rs 2.54-crore heroin in Mumbai
Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.
Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
The police are currently investigating the source of the drug and trying to identify the intended recipients of the consignment, he said.
