Shamanur Shivashankarappa has won election by tearing somebody's B form
Taunts home minister M.B Patil
Hubballi, Jan 13: Home Minister MB Patil ridiculed that “MLA Shamanur Shivashankarappa had a general store and was working as a middleman. But he has won the election after tearing the B form of somebody”.
Speaking to reporters at the Hubballi airport on Sunday, Patil said that Shivashankarappa should understand about his past and speak about others. He has built the Bapuji education institution by exploiting the others. He has been thinking about only his and his family’s development and speaking ill about others, he said.
“If you look at the birth records of Shivashankarappa, it’s mentioned as Hindu Lingayat. He will lose his respect if I speak openly. It is better if he stops his allegation now. I don’t care anybody. Anything could happen if I continue tirade against him”, Patil said.
Muslim population was more in his constituency and this time, the Congress has got majority Muslim votes in that constituency. Even in the forthcoming elections, the Muslims would vote for Congress.
The alliance of BSP and SP in Uttar Pradesh and Congress-JDS alliance in Karnataka has created fear in Prime Minister Narendra Modi due to which, he was speaking against the coalition government in the state, he said.
“There are people to fight for Lingayat religion and they will continue their fight. I will not have my influence on Lingayat religion. But Lingayat religion is our identity”, he clarified on a question.
“Police constables are the backbones of the police department. The Cabinet will take a decision to implement the recommendations of Auradkar Committee on improving the living conditions of the constables. The state government has sought help from ISRO and the Maharashtra government to trace the missing fishermen. I will meet the Home Minister of Maharashtra and discuss the issue”, he said.
Why Mallikarjun defeated?
‘Shamanur said that Vinay Kulkarni and Sharan Prakash Patil have lost the assembly elections as they have participated in Lingayat religion movement. Then, why his son Mallikarjun was defeated in the election? Where was his Veerashaiva force during election?’

Lebanon appoints new representative for talks with Israel, rejects linkage to Iran
Beirut: Lebanon’s has moved to underline its independent position in ongoing regional developments, amid attempts to link the country to the broader conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
President Joseph Aoun, while announcing the appointment of former US ambassador Simon Karam as Lebanon’s representative in talks with Israel, made it clear that Karam would be the sole representative for Lebanon and that there would be no substitute.
The move comes in response to what the Lebanese officials see as efforts by Iran to tie Lebanon’s situation to the wider regional conflict. Iran had indicated that there would be no ceasefire involving the US, Israel and Iran unless it also included a ceasefire in Lebanon.
Some groups, including Hezbollah and its supporters, had expressed support for linking the situations, citing concerns that the Lebanese government has limited leverage in negotiations with Israel. Lebanon is not formally a party to the conflict, and its army is considered weak.
However, others, including Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, have opposed this approach. They view Iran’s stance as an attempt to influence Lebanon’s internal affairs and see it as undermining the country’s sovereignty.
Officials backing the government’s position say the move is aimed at reaffirming Lebanon’s sovereignty and ensuring that decisions about peace and ceasefire within the country are not dictated externally.
They also see it as a safeguard, so that any breakdown in talks between the US, Israel and Iran does not automatically lead to renewed conflict in Lebanon.
