Mandya: Power cut and cable TV disconnection while I was filing nomination was deliberate: Sumalatha
Mandya: Taking a serious note of the power cut and cable TV disconnection on the day she filed nomination, Mandya’s independent candidate, Sumalatha Ambareesh on Sunday labeled strong allegations that the SP of Mandya has been asked to not allow any power cuts of disconnection of TV channels when CM HD Kumaraswamy’s son Nikhil Kumaraswamy will file his nomination from the constituency.
Speaking to reporters at her residence, she alleged that Mandya administration has adopted double standards which is against democratic principles and unconstitutional.
“Why these double standards? Why this injustice with an independent candidate and why special treatment for the son of Chief Minister. It is unfair” she said.
“We had also alleged that the nomination papers filed by Nikhil were not in accordance to the regulations of election. We had objected against and even after that he was allowed to file his nomination papers. Election Commissioner of Mandya and Deputy Commissioner Manjushree who initially expressed concern after our objection, later turned blind eye to our complaint” she alleged.

Man allegedly arrives with deadly weapon to attack another, caught by public in Jokatte
Panambur: A man who allegedly came armed to attack another person was caught by members of the public and later handed over to police in Jokatte late on Friday night.
The accused has been identified as Naveen Poojari, originally from Vamanjoor and presently residing in Jokatte.
