Disqualified MLAs can contest from BJP: Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda
Udupi: Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda on Saturday asserted that the BJP began with its preparations for by-elections from the very first day of forming government in the state and that it is prepared for the October 21 polls.
Speaking to reporters in Udupi on Saturday, former Karnataka CM Gowda added that the party will decide on the disqualified MLAs.
"We have to wait for the SC to pronounce the order. It's a matter of one day, in a single hearing judgement will most probably come out. The MLAs then will have to join the BJP to contest the by-elections on party ticket" Gowda said.
Speaking about JD(s) MLA Shivalinga Gowda's remarks that Siddaramaiah should once again become the CM of the state, Sadananda Gowda said "People in JD(s) and Congress will do anything for power. To get some position, he might have said it. Siddaramaiah himself is also aspiring for the CM's seat, he is going to all the parties to put forth his case. But there is no entry for him in the BJP".
Commenting in DK Shivakumar, who has been arrested by the ED in alleged money laundering case Gowda added that it was wrong to comment on it as the investigation was still under process. Gowda however added that whoever has done wrong should be punished irrespective of their party. "If anyone from our party also does something wrong, he will be punished under law," he added.

Sister of Anjali Ambigera, who was stabbed to death, attempted suicide, says grandmother
Hubballi (PTI): Distressed over Anjali Ambigera's brutal murder four days ago, her sister Yashoda Ambigera attempted suicide, their grandmother Gangamma Ambigera has said.
Speaking to reporters, Gangamma said Yashoda consumed phenyl as she was missing Anjali.
Anjali was stabbed to death by her neibhour Girish Sawant on May 15 as she did not entertain his proposal for marriage.
Gangamma said Yashoda was also depressed because she felt her sister would not get justice, as the accused Girish Sawant was arrested and is "living comfortably" in police custody.
"Yashodha was upset that her sister was not getting justice and her murderer was leading a comfortable life and is getting good treatment in a hospital. So, she consumed it (phenyl). She is okay now," Gangamma said.
She demanded that the accused be "eliminated".
Meanwhile, the BJP charged that law and order has deteriorated in the state.
"Murderers are having a field day due to deteriorating law and order," Karnataka Leader of opposition R Ashoka alleged.
