M.B. Patil opposes D.K. Shivakumar’s intervention in separate Lingayat religion issue
Vijayapura, October 19: “Water Resources Minister D.K. Shivakumar need not be interfered in the separate Lingayat religion issue. I would discuss the issue in the party platform”, former Minister M.B. Patil said.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, he said that Shivakumar statement was not the party opinion. The party high command has not given any instruction to him about it. During the by-election time, he would not drag the statement issue more. He would discuss in the party about Shivakumar’s interference in all issues. He has given an irresponsible statement. Why he had supported the cause in the Cabinet meeting earlier, he asked.
The Congress has not suffered any damage due to Lingayat issue. Shivakumar should introspect as to why the party had seen a set-back in Vokkaliga-dominated Southern Karnataka region and set-right his home first, he said.

Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent gets threat
Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 28: Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent R Anitha on Thursday said that an unknown person sent an audio message via a police inspector claiming that they will blow up her car.
However, police said they have not received any complaints in this regard.
Speaking to reporters here, Anitha said, "Somebody has sent an audio message to the police inspector saying that they will blow up my car. I personally did not receive any such message so far, so I would not be lodging any police complaint."
Following the alleged threat, Anitha said she would be more cautious now.
Last month, after Anitha took charge as the Chief Superintendent of Jail, raids were conducted and searches were intensified after photographs and video clips purportedly showing three inmates getting special treatment in the Kalaburagi Central prison went viral on social media.
Following the raids, cell phones, gutka and cigarette packets and beedis were seized from the inmates.
