Demand for separate North Karnataka state is not acceptable: Shobha Karandlaje
Mysuru, July 27: Lok Sabha Member Shobha Karandlaje said that it was not fair to demand separate status for North Karnataka as it would not solve all problems.
After offering special pooja to Goddess Chamundeshwari here on Friday, she said that “if we need justice in Krishna, Mahadayi, Cauvery river distribution, the people of the state should come together and fight. After dividing the Andhra Pradesh, both Andhra and Telangana states have become weak. Such a situation should not come to us. The BJP would be with the people of North Karnataka. But it was not acceptable to call bandh demanding separate North Karnataka state, she said.
The JDS-Congress coalition government has not yet taken off. The confusion was still there in the farm loan waiver decision. After the coalition government came to power, 20-30 farmers have committed suicide, she said.
In democracy, Chief Minister was like a king. The Chief Minister should respond to the problems of people the entire state. But the Chief Minister has restricted himself to a few districts. Because of this reason, the separate state voice was being stronger, she said.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
