‘One man’s food is another man’s poison’
What Speaker Ramesh Kumar said about DK Shivakumar?
Bengaluru, May 25: “One man’s food is another man’s poison. You may be villain for them. But you are a hero for some. But you cannot be a hero for all”. This is how Speaker Ramesh Kumar said about former minister DK Shivakumar. His remark has busted laughter in the Session.
While speaking on the proposal of floor test by HD Kumaraswamy-led JDS-Congress coalition government at the Assembly Session on Friday, Opposition Leader BS Yeddyurappa ridiculed former minister DK Shivakumar for his role in the formation of JDS-Congress coalition government.
“Mr Shivakumar, you will regret for your work. You have done a crime to protect the MLAs and thus, you have supported a person who has lost the faith of people and cheated, to become the chief minister of the state. I would not say anything today. Time will reveal everything. You are also sitting in the sinking boat”, he chided Shivakumar.
Intervening Yeddyurappa’s speech, Shivakumar said that “We both have a good relationship. I may have love and affection on Yeddyurappa. But I am not ready to become a ‘villain’. I have done my work as per the direction of the Congress party and my party national president Rahul Gandhi. So, the word ‘villain’ used by Yeddyurappa should be withdrawn”, he demanded.
Continuing his tirade against Shivakumar, YEddyurappa said that “I’ll not call Shivakumar who is dreaming of becoming chief minister, as a villain. If you are in the coalition government, you will become the chief minister. Both father and son duo would wipe out your Congress party as a national party in a few months”, he said.
Responding to this, Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar said that “one man’s food is another man’s poison. You might be villain form them, but you are a hero for somebody. But you could not become a hero for everyone”, he drag the feet of Shivakumar.

Army operationalises 3D concrete printing tech for quick construction of bunkers, sentry posts
Gangtok (PTI): The Indian Army, in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad, has operationalised on-site 3D concrete printing technology for quick construction of bunkers, sentry posts and protective structures in forward areas of Sikkim, a Defence statement said.
The capability -- already proven in other operational areas earlier -- has been effectively employed by the Trishakti Corps in the Himalayan state, it said.
"The indigenous robotic 3D concrete printer, equipped with a robotic arm, circular mixer, piston pump and generator, is fully vehicle-portable and optimised for rapid movement in mountainous terrain," the statement said.
The printed structures have undergone live ballistic trials, validating their strength and protective performance.
The 3D concrete printing provides major operational advantages, including customised designs, enhanced blast and ballistic resistance, higher compressive strength, improved quality control, efficient use of local materials and rapid construction in tactically acceptable timelines.
It also supports terrain-specific designs and advanced camouflage needs.
The continued adoption of on-site 3D printing represents a significant leap in the Army's engineering and operational readiness, enabling fast, sustainable, and mission-oriented infrastructure development in challenging environments, it added.
