‘The Secular Emblem is down, come to Congress’: DK Suresh invites JDS members to his party
Bengaluru: The Congress candidate for Bengaluru Rural Constituency DK Suresh invited the JDS cadre to his party while addressing a press meet in the city on Friday. He said that as the lady in the symbol of the secular party had put down the hay, it was time for the JDS cadre to leave the party.
“I have worked hard in my constituency as a Member of the Parliament. I ask my people to pay the dues for my work by their votes. Dr Manjunath has made a personal decision to contest. If he was really a strong candidate, he should have stood under the symbol of JDS. So why is he contesting under the symbol of BJP?” DK Suresh questioned.

Man arrested with Rs 2.54-crore heroin in Mumbai
Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.
Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
