Koppal: In a controversial statement, BJP's senior leader KS Eshwarappa has said "Chairperson of the Co-ordination Committee Siddaramaiah is a self-proclaimed Kuruba leader and a great communalist.
Addressing a press conference in Koppal, he said, "Siddaramaiah is a communalist, a murderer, and his brain is filled with shit."
Cast census was held at the cost of Rs. 125 crore when Siddaramaiah was the chief minister. Even though that report is in front of the government, why the government is not releasing it. Siddaramaiah is a great man who use the Kuruba community only for politics, Eshwarappa alleged.
Taking a jibe at former Prime Minister Deve Gowda, Eshwarappa said, " If Gowda has 14 children and 14 daughters-in-law as well, his family members would have been the candidates for all the 28 seats."
Ticket for Muslims only if they believe and vote us
Muslim candidate has not given ticket because the Muslim community will not vote for BJP. When they believe and vote for BJP we will give ticket for them, he added.

Belagavi: Medical Education Minister Dr. Sharanaparakash Rudrappa Patil on Tuesday said the State government plans to establish day-care chemotherapy centres in all district hospitals across Karnataka to make cancer treatment more accessible.
Replying to a question raised by BJP MLC M.P. Kushalappa during the Question Hour in the Legislative Council, the minister said it was not feasible for cancer patients from various districts to travel repeatedly to Kidwai Memorial Institute in Bengaluru. To address this issue, the government is taking steps to establish cancer care centers in other districts in collaboration with the Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology.
Providing details of cancer treatment at Kidwai, Dr. Patil said that over the past three years, 41,512 cancer patients have received treatment at the institute. Treatment included surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
Between 2022 and 2024, a total of 12,781 patients underwent surgery, 14,423 patients received radiation therapy, and over 28,370 patients were administered chemotherapy, he said.
The minister further noted that more than 110 patients were provided bone marrow transplants, an otherwise expensive procedure, free of cost at the institute during the same period.
The proposed day-care chemotherapy centers, he said, would significantly reduce the burden on patients and improve access to timely cancer treatment at the district level.
