Bengaluru: Congress MLA Akhanda Srinivas Murthy expected to resign
Bengaluru: Congress MLA from Pulikeshi Nagar Akhanda Srinivas Murthy is expected to resign as legislator since the party is yet to announce its candidate from the constituency.
The leaders of minority communities here have accused Akhanda Srinivas Murthy of causing the riots in DJ Halli and KG Halli in 2020, with his discriminatory attitude. It is also reported that the leaders urged the Congress High Command not to give ticket to Shrinivasa Murthy for the Assembly elections in May.
The Congress leaders are apparently yet to confirm on the party candidate from the constituency, following said developments in Pulikeshi Nagar in relation to the violence in 2020.
There are also rumours of Srinivas Murthy desiring to resign from his post, upset by the continued uncertainty on who the party would field from the constituency this year.

Death sentence of Nimisha Priya likely to be revoked; Mediation talks in Yemen make progress
Kozhikode: There are strong indications that Nimisha Priya’s death sentence in Yemen may be revoked following significant progress in recent mediation talks. According to mediators, the family of the deceased Yemeni national Talal, who was killed, has agreed in principle to pardon Nimisha.
A press release from the office of Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar stated that some crucial decisions have been taken in the case. The developments follow high-level negotiations involving a delegation of Yemeni scholars appointed by Habib Umar bin Hafiz, a prominent scholar from Tarim, along with officials from northern Yemen and international diplomatic representatives.
Further discussions with Talal’s family are expected to finalise the terms, especially concerning compensation and legal formalities.
It may be recalled that Nimisha was scheduled to be executed on July 16. However, following the intervention of Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar, the execution was temporarily postponed on July 15.
