CPI to support coalition candidates in by-poll: Dinesh Gundu Rao
Bengaluru, October 20: KPCC President DInesh Gundu Rao said that the CPI has agreed to support the Congress-JDS coalition candidates in the by-elections.
After holding a discussion with the CPI leaders like Ananta Subba Rao, P.V. Lokesh, Ballary district secretary Nagabhushan Rao, labour leader H.K. Ramachandrappa, Vijaya Bhaskar and others at the KPCC office here on Saturday, he said that CPI and its allies have their own workers across the state and they have promised that they would support the coalition candidates and campaign in favour of them in the constituencies. They have promised that they would support the Congress-JDS candidates to keep the communal BJP away from the power, to bring together all secular forces and teach a lesson to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he added.
“The Congress has asked our support in Ballary and Jamkhandi constituencies. Since we believe in secular philosophy, we have decided to support the coalition candidates in the by-elections and we will also participate in the campaigning”.

Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent gets threat
Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 28: Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent R Anitha on Thursday said that an unknown person sent an audio message via a police inspector claiming that they will blow up her car.
However, police said they have not received any complaints in this regard.
Speaking to reporters here, Anitha said, "Somebody has sent an audio message to the police inspector saying that they will blow up my car. I personally did not receive any such message so far, so I would not be lodging any police complaint."
Following the alleged threat, Anitha said she would be more cautious now.
Last month, after Anitha took charge as the Chief Superintendent of Jail, raids were conducted and searches were intensified after photographs and video clips purportedly showing three inmates getting special treatment in the Kalaburagi Central prison went viral on social media.
Following the raids, cell phones, gutka and cigarette packets and beedis were seized from the inmates.
