Bengaluru: DK Shivakumar dismisses allegation of ₹300 crore “black donation”, jokes it was Sriramulu
Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Wednesday ridiculed BJP leader B. Sriramulu’s allegation that the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister had contributed ₹300 crore in “black money” for the Bihar elections.
Responding to reporters’ questions, Shivakumar quipped, “It was actually the money given by Sriramulu himself to the Congress party that we sent to Bihar.”
Sriramulu had earlier accused the state’s top Congress leaders of sending unaccounted funds to influence the Bihar polls, a charge Shivakumar dismissed in a sarcastic tone, turning the allegation back at the BJP leader.

Two girls injured in separate wolf attacks in UP's Bahraich
Bahraich (UP) (PTI): Two minor girls were injured in separate incidents of wolf attacks in the Bahraich district, forest department officials said on Saturday.
In the first incident on Friday, Anushka Nishad (5), daughter of Baliram from Mallahanpurwa village, was sleeping alone inside her house when a wolf entered and tried to carry her away, they said.
Hearing her screams, family members and villagers rushed to the spot. The wolf left the child, hearing the commotion, and ran towards the fields. The girl sustained minor injuries from the animal's teeth, the officials said.
Divisional Forest Officer Ram Singh Yadav described the attack as deliberate and cleverly planned, as it occurred precisely when Anushka's mother went out for a few moments.
On the same day, Nancy (4), daughter of Kamlesh Yadav, was playing outside her house in Baburi Tola village when a wolf suddenly attacked and dragged her away.
Villagers raised an alarm, and the wolf released the child and ran towards the sugarcane fields. The injured child was sent to the Kaiserganj Community Health Centre for treatment.
Divisional Forest Officer Ram Singh Yadav told reporters that both attacks involved wolves, adding that the entire area is plagued by the animal's activity.
Since September 9, such attacks in the Bahraich district have claimed 10 lives, including eight children and an elderly couple, and injured dozens of people, the officials said.
District Magistrate Akshay Tripathi met the families of the victims on Friday and consoled them.
