Cong leaders, workers take out Raj Bhavan chalo against Gov
Bengaluru, May 18: Congress leaders and thousands of party workers took out a Raj Bhavan chalo protest here on Friday alleging that Governor Vajubhai Vala has invited the BJP to form the government which is unconstitutional and against the democratic values.
Senior leaders Mallikarjuna Kharge, Gulam Nabi Azad, former chief minister Siddaramaiah and others along with thousands of party workers took out a protest march from KPCC office on Queen’s Road towards the Raj Bhavan, shouting slogans against the Governor.
Workers arrested
When the agitators tried to lay siege the Raj Bhavan, the police stopped them at Coffee Board office and when they staged protest on the road, they were arrested.
Former minister Ramalinga Reddy said that in democracy, the number of MLAs is important. But, the Governor has thrown all norms to the wind and invited the BJP which does not have majority, which is condemnable, he said.
Both Congress and JDS workers are together. They do not have any differences. BJP leaders would not succeed in hijacking the Lingayat MLAs. Even independent MLAs are also with the Congress. The Supreme Court has given a big blow to all such unconstitutional decisions. Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa should resign from his position to give respect to the values of democracy, he demanded.

Sanju Samson ton guides India to 61-run win over South Africa
Durban, Nov 8: Sanju Samson scored a scintillating century as India inflicted a 61-run defeat on South Africa in the first T20I here on Friday.
Invited to bat, Samson blazed away to 107 off 50 balls, hitting as many as 10 sixes and seven fours to help India post 202 for 8.
The spin duo of Varun Chakaravarthy (3/25) and Ravi Bishnoi (3/28) then shared six wickets between them to bowl out South Africa for 141 in 17.5 overs.
Earlier, Samson became the first Indian to score back-to-back centuries in T20Is.
The opener notched his second T20I hundred off just 47 balls. His first had come in India's last outing against Bangladesh last month.
However, South Africa clawed their way back into the game as they stemmed the flow of runs by picking wickets in the last five overs.
Pacer Gerald Coetzee who claimed three wickets was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts.
Brief Scores:
India: 202 for 8 in 20 overs (Sanju Samson 107, Tilak Verma 33; Gerald Coetzee 3/37)
