Demand relief for people from PM, Centre, not Opposition: Minister Priyank Kharge slams BJP
Kalaburagi: Hitting out at BJP sharply for its criticism of Leaders of the Opposition in the Parliament Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi for not giving relief to people affected by the floods across the country this year, District In-charge Minister Priyank Kharge asked why Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were in power if they could do nothing to help the citizens.
The minister, who spoke to reporters at the Kalaburagi Airport on Tuesday, said, “The BJP worships the PM, calling him 'Vishwaguru' and a great leader equivalent of God. Over the last nearly 12 years, what is his contribution to Karnataka? Is satisfying the needs of the citizens the duty of the Opposition? If the Centre is unable to provide relief, then it is only justice that you resign.”
When asked about compensation to the people, Kharge said, “Since statistics are needed to release relief, a survey will soon be held to get the necessary statistics, after which, we will announce the compensation amount.”
Further mocking the BJP leaders, Kharge said that the leaders had been visiting the district ever since he took charge as minister. “This is a positive thing for Kalaburagi. Of course, we need not learn how to govern from them,” the minister slammed the rival party.

Mentally unstable man arrested for bludgeoning elderly mother, wife to death in Jharkhand
Lohardaga (Jharkhand) (PTI): A mentally unstable man was arrested for allegedly bludgeoning his elderly mother and wife to death in Jharkhand's Lohardaga district, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place in Dhanamuji village in Bhandra police station area on Saturday evening. The deceased have been identified as Rupi Oraon (62) and Somri Oraon (45), they said.
"The accused, Madwa Oraon, was arrested immediately after the incident. He allegedly attacked his mother and wife with an iron rod after an altercation over some issues, leading to their death on the spot," Lohardaga Superintendent of Police (SP) Sadique Anwar Rizvi said.
He said the bodies of both the victims were sent to Sadar Hospital, Lohardaga for post-mortem examination.
"The accused is mentally unstable. He has been receiving treatment for the last one year. He used to get agitated over small issues, and that might have been the reason behind the incident," another police officer said.
