Puttur, October 21: Union Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda who entered into political field from Puttur constituency and enjoyed various powers as MLA, MP, Chief Minister and Union Minister, has sold his house situated at Padil, on the outskirts of the town.
Sources said that D.V. has sold his house which ensured him all positions and powers. Though Sadananda Gowda served as the MLA, Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha Member, BJP State President, Chief Minister and currently as the Union Minister, he remained as the voter of Puttur. Now, the news of selling his house in Puttur created a debate among the people who have been speaking that Sadananda Gowda has forgotten his constituency and people.
D.V. has his house at Haradi on Puttur-Uppinangady road in Padil ward in the town. He named his house after his mother Kamala. Since the symbol of his party BJP was also ‘Kamala’, he used to remember his mother and the party with the name of his house. He had constructed the house when he became the MLA for the second time. Now, sources said that Sadananda has sold the house constructed on 13 cents land to a Muslim person for Rs 1.25 crore. Currently, he is constructing a house in Bengaluru, sources said.
Hailed from Devaragunda in Mandekolu village in Sullia taluk, Sadananda Gowda was working as an advocate in Sullia. At this time, BJP leaders announced him as the candidate from Puttur constituency. He was defeated in his first attempt from Puttur constituency. But in his second, he had won from Puttur. He became the Puttur MLA for two terms. When he was Mangaluru MP, he became the BJP State President and later, served as the Chief Minister of the state. In the last Lok Sabha elections, he was elected from Bengaluru South Constituency and is serving as the Union Minister in the Narendra Modi government.
Though he had entered his political career from Puttur constituency, he was keeping himself away from Puttur people for the last few years. In every elections, he used to come along with his wife Dati Sadananda Gowda and son Karthik to Haradi polling station and cast his votes. But in the least election held for Puttur city municipal council, he came alone and exercised his vote. Since he has sold his house in Puttur, people have been talking that he would keep himself away from Puttur constituency and people.

Hyderabad, Apr 6 (PTI): Mohammed Siraj bowled with fire in his belly to return excellent figures of 4/17 as Gujarat Titans restricted Sunrisers Hyderabad to 152 for eight in their Indian Premier League match here on Sunday.
Siraj dismissed struggling openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma cheaply before coming back to add two more wickets to his tally on a slow surface.
Left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore (2/24) and seamer Prasidh Krishna (2/25) too performed admirably but a wayward Ishant Sharma leaked 53 runs in his four overs to allow SRH cross 150 after they were 135 for eight at the start of the final over.
Head (8) had a fortuitous start as his edge off Siraj went past the stumps for a boundary. However, Siraj had the last laugh as the pacer got rid of the danger man from Australia when the opener flicked one for Sai Sudharsan to complete a smart diving catch at mid-wicket.
The crowd at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium found their voice after a few boundaries.
Siraj, however, had other ideas as the pumped-up seamer sent back Abhishek after the batter took the aerial route but failed to get the timing right and was caught at mid-on.
This meant the SRH openers' struggles continued in this edition of the IPL as the side reached 45 for two at the end of the power play.
Even as the visitors dominated proceedings at that stage, they faced some anxious moments when Glenn Phillips got injured. After being attended to by the physio, Phillips hobbled off the field.
Ishan Kishan (17) perished when he miscued a pull off a Prasidh Krishna short ball to deep square leg where Ishant completed the catch.
The duo of Nitish Kumar Reddy (31 off 34 balls) and Heinrich Klaasen (27 off 19 balls) tried to revive SRH innings with a fifty-run stand for the fourth wicket, a phase where GT got a few fours and a six by the South African big-hitter against Rashid Khan.
But just when SRH looked like laying the foundation for a respectable score, left-arm spinner Sai Kishore picked up the prized wicket of Klaasen whose leg stump was disturbed as he rocked back to employ the pull shot.
Reddy too perished while trying to smash Sai Kishore out of the park, leaving SRH at 105 for five in the beginning of the 16th over.
