Governor is acting as BJP agent: Dinesh Gundurao
Bengaluru: KPCC president Dinesh Gundurao accused that Governor of the state Vajubai Vala was acting as a BJP agent and the national party was misusing the Raj Bhavan as its office.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, Gundurao said that the Governor held a discussion with those who have resigned from MLA position. Why did he summon the city police commissioner? Why did he write letter to the Speaker to take a decision on MLAs' resignation, he asked.
BJP was misleading the disgruntled MLAs. But the disgruntled MLAs should understand that none would ask them anything once they were disqualified, he said.
Speaker Ramesh Kumar would not yield to any pressure and he would take action as per law. BJP's decision to move to the Supreme Court and making allegations against the Speaker was a symbol of its desperation, he said.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
