Govt withdraws police security given to resort
DK Shivakumar ridicules Yeddyurappa’s decision
Bengaluru, May 17: Soon after Yeddyurappa sworn in as the Chief Minister of the state, he has withdrawn the police security provided to Eagleton Resort near Bidadi in Ramanagar where MLAs were camping.
However, Congress leader DK Shivakumar ridiculed that if the MLAs did not have the security in this government, then what is the situation of the common people.
Speaking to reporters at a private hotel in the city on Thursday, Shivakumar said that “We do not require police security to protect our MLAs. People and our party workers are there to protect us. We will not go out of the state and we will be here”, he said.
Soon after Yeddyurappa took oath, he has nominated one MLA through the Governor. He has transferred the police officers. These incidents are some instances about the way in which the BJP government is beginning its innings, which is condemnable, he said.
JDS president HD Kumaraswamy said that as soon as taking oath, Yeddyurappa has transferred four IPS officers. How will they transfer the officers without proving their majority? The developments happening in the BJP office are ridiculous. “We will protect our 117 MLAs. All 38 JDS MLAs are with me. Nobody can divide us. I have taken the responsibility of all MLAs. Congress leaders have taken the responsibility of their MLAs”, he said.

Sanju Samson ton guides India to 61-run win over South Africa
Durban, Nov 8: Sanju Samson scored a scintillating century as India inflicted a 61-run defeat on South Africa in the first T20I here on Friday.
Invited to bat, Samson blazed away to 107 off 50 balls, hitting as many as 10 sixes and seven fours to help India post 202 for 8.
The spin duo of Varun Chakaravarthy (3/25) and Ravi Bishnoi (3/28) then shared six wickets between them to bowl out South Africa for 141 in 17.5 overs.
Earlier, Samson became the first Indian to score back-to-back centuries in T20Is.
The opener notched his second T20I hundred off just 47 balls. His first had come in India's last outing against Bangladesh last month.
However, South Africa clawed their way back into the game as they stemmed the flow of runs by picking wickets in the last five overs.
Pacer Gerald Coetzee who claimed three wickets was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts.
Brief Scores:
India: 202 for 8 in 20 overs (Sanju Samson 107, Tilak Verma 33; Gerald Coetzee 3/37)
South Africa: 141 all out in 17.5 overs (Heinrich Klaasen 25; Varun Chakaravarthy 3/25, Ravi Bishnoi 3/28)
