‘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.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
