JDS will win all seats in Mandya: Ambareesh
Mandya, May 12: Former minister Ambareesh predicted that the JDS candidates would win in all the seven assembly constituencies in the district.
After exercising his vote at his native Doddarasinakere in Maddur assembly constituency on Saturday, Ambareesh said that ‘Ever since I was dropped from the Cabinet, my supporters have a kind of hostility on Congress. Siddaramaiah is facing tough competition in both places’, he said.
“I don’t need to bring my wife or children up in politics. I would raise them in different fields. I would be with my people. Though I am retired from active politics, I would be in touch with my people regularly. Let the youth and new comers grow in politics. Let them do good works for people. I have done works beyond my capacity and people of Mandya have supported me. That’s why I will continue my visit to Mandya”, he said.
Leaders DC Thammanna, Santosh Thammanna, Kavitha Santosh and Shruti Rajesh Gowda were present.

At least 2 dead and 12 missing after fishing boat sinks off South Korea's Jeju island
Seoul(AP): A fishing boat capsized and sank off the coast of South Korea's Jeju island Friday, leaving at least two people dead and 12 others unaccounted for, coast guard officials said.
Nearby fishing vessels managed to pull 15 crew members out of the water, but two of them were later pronounced dead after being brought to shore. The other 13 did not sustain life-threatening injuries, said Kim Han-na, an official at Jeju's coast guard.
She said 27 crew members – 16 South Korean nationals and 11 foreigners – were on the 129-ton boat, which left Jeju's Seogwipo port late Thursday to catch mackerel. The coast guard received a distress signal at around 4:30 a.m. Friday from a nearby fishing vessel that conducted rescue efforts as the boat sank 24 kilometers (15 miles) northwest of the island.
At least 11 vessels and nine aircraft from South Korea's coast guard, police, fire service and military were deployed as of Friday morning to search for survivors. They were being assisted by 13 civilian vessels.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol called for officials to mobilize all available resources to find and rescue the missing crew members, his office said.
