Bengaluru, October 17: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that both Congress and JDS have unanimously selected candidates for by-elections to three Lok Sabha and two Assembly constituencies.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here on Wednesday, Parameshwar said that JDS has supported the Congress candidates from Ballary and Jamakhandi. Both Congress and JDS would not require certificate or analysis from Yeddyurappa and Shobha Karandlaje about the unity, he said.
“In the coalition government, none has personal issue or prestige. We all are working together. By winning in all the five constituencies, the coalition government will strengthen its base further. The BJP will face the humiliation. Since Ballary constituency is for ST category, the Congress has fielded VS Ugrappa. More than that, he is our senior leader. Here caste factor plays no role”, Parameshwar clarified.
Let the Truth be known. If you read VB and like VB, please be a VB Supporter and Help us deliver the Truth to one and all.
Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 28: Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent R Anitha on Thursday said that an unknown person sent an audio message via a police inspector claiming that they will blow up her car.
However, police said they have not received any complaints in this regard.
Speaking to reporters here, Anitha said, "Somebody has sent an audio message to the police inspector saying that they will blow up my car. I personally did not receive any such message so far, so I would not be lodging any police complaint."
Following the alleged threat, Anitha said she would be more cautious now.
Last month, after Anitha took charge as the Chief Superintendent of Jail, raids were conducted and searches were intensified after photographs and video clips purportedly showing three inmates getting special treatment in the Kalaburagi Central prison went viral on social media.
Following the raids, cell phones, gutka and cigarette packets and beedis were seized from the inmates.
