No need to conduct by-poll to three LS constituencies: Dinesh Gundu Rao
‘Our aim is to defeat BJP’
Bengaluru, October 06: KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao said that though there was no need to conduct by-election to three Lok Sabha constituencies like Shivamogga, Ballary and Mandya as they have very short term, the Election Commission has declared elections to those constituencies.
Speaking to reporters at KPCC office here on Saturday, Dinesh Gundu Rao said that the Election Commission has announced by-election to Ramanagar and Jamakhandi assembly constituencies which still have four and half years term. The Congress has not decided on making alliance with the JDS for the by-poll. A decision would be taken after discussing with the party leaders. But the aim of the Congress was to defeat the BJP in the by-election, he said.
“By-poll is announced today. We have not yet discussed about the candidates. No decision is taken to give ticket to Siddu Nyama Gauda’s son in Jamkhandi constituency. But our candidate will definitely win in that constituency. We have won in Jayanagar and RR Nagar by-elections. There is lot of difference for general election and by-election”, he said.
“No discussion is held on fielding Ramya from Mandya Lok Sabha constituency. No decision is taken. No discussion is held on Congress-JDS alliance for the by-election”.

ED team attacked in Delhi during raids in cyber crime case
New Delhi (PTI): An Enforcement Directorate team undertaking searches in a cyber fraud linked money laundering case was allegedly attacked here on Thursday, officials said.
The agency has registered a police FIR about the incident that took place at a farmhouse that was raided by ED officials in the Bijwasan area of the national capital that falls under the Kapashera police station in southwest Delhi.
An Enforcement Officer (EO) suffered minor injuries during the attack. He is continuing with the searches after he was given first aid, officials said.
The probe pertains to a case against the PYYPL app.
The alleged accused in the case, including Ashok Sharma and his brother, allegedly attacked the ED team. The situation is under control and searches are going on, the sources said.
The search operations, according to sources, has been launched after the ED got inputs from the I4C and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) about cyber crimes like phishing, QR code cheating, part time job fraud leading to fraud with many people.
It was found that money earned through this cyber fraud was being layered through as many as 15,000 'mule' accounts and withdrawn using debit and credit cards.
Using these cards, it was found, money was remitted to top up virtual accounts on UAE-based Pyypl payment aggregator and subsequently funds were used from Pyypl to buy crypto currency.
The network was being run by some Chartered Accountants (CAs), the sources claimed.
