Congress struggling to find candidates for LS polls: Basavaraja Bommai
Bengaluru: Basavaraja Bommai, the leader of the opposition, has criticised the Congress party, stating that it is facing difficulties in finding candidates willing to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections due to fears of losing. He also mentioned that even ministers are hesitant to contest.
In a media interaction, Bommai highlighted the innovative approach taken this time in selecting candidates. He mentioned that candidates like Dr. Manjunath, who saved the health of millions, and Maharaja Yaduveer Wadiyar were chosen to send a positive message in South Karnataka.
Bommai spoke on the significance of the Wodeyar family in the development of South India, particularly in uplifting backward classes. He stated that South Karnataka is pleased with the decision to field candidates from the Wadiyar family, indicating a transition from the old guard to new leadership, a move he believes is only possible in the BJP.
Adding to this, Bommai mentioned that there is a lack of confidence among Congress ministers, with some fearing defeat. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar also stated that MPs who did not receive tickets are in contact with the Congress, indicating a challenge in finding candidates willing to contest under the party's banner.

Brothers awaiting board exam results drown in canal
Erode (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): Minor brothers who were awaiting their board exam results have drowned in a canal in this district while spending their Summer holidays at their aunt's place, police said.
According to Arachalure Police, Santhosh, aged 17, and his younger brother Sanjai, aged 15, natives of Musiri village in Tiruchirapalli district, came to Gopaliparai hamlet near Arachalure to their Aunt's house a couple of days ago after writing their annual 12th and 10th examinations, respectively.
The police said on Friday that both boys went to the nearby Lower Bhavani Project canal to take a bath. It was alleged that while taking a bath, both boys went to a deeper area of the canal and went missing.
As they didn't return home, even two hours after they left, their aunt grew suspicious and informed the Fire and Rescue Services, Chennimalai. A rescue team from the department rushed to the spot. After a few minutes of searching, they located the dead bodies of the brothers and sent them to the hospital. Arachalure police registered a case of death due to drowning and are investigating.
