Party decides whether I must be there in cabinet or not: DKS
Bengaluru: Whether I should be there in the cabinet or hold any role of the party will be decided by the party High Command, said former minister and Congress leader DK Shivakumar.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said, "I have never been alone in the party. Being alone is not my identity. I had gone to visit temples after elections. Citing this, telling that I am not visible after elections is not a right thing."
I do not know why SR Patil resigned as KPCC president. He is a significant leader in the party. In South Karnataka, our (Vakkaligas) people are there. There Veerashivas are available. In the same way, all the people who have voted for us are available in the state. High Command will think about all these things. It is not possible to ignore Veerashaivas while forming the cabinet," DK Shivakumar added.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
