BJP has converted coastal region into laboratory for Hindutva politics: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru, November 16: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah tweeted that the BJP has converted the Karnataka coastal region into a laboratory for Hindutva politics due to which its national leaders visit the place very often.
Retaliating the BJP in a series of tweets,
Tweet 1: Siddaramaiah said that though Amit Shah and Narendra Modi settled in Karnataka, the people would not support BJP in the Lok Sabha election.
Tweet 2: BJP wanted to keep the Ayodhya issue alive instead of constructing the Ram Mandir. At a time when the election is fast approaching, the BJP has stirred up Ram Mandir issue provoking the emotional feelings of people. It was just an effort to attract people towards it and people also aware about it, he tweeted.
Tweet 3: GT Deve Gowda was the district minister in Mysuru and SR Mahesh was the Cabinet minister. The Congress party required a voice in the district for which, they have asked the JDS to give the Mayor post to the Congress and it was justifiable demand.
Tweet 4: Till I am in politics, I would protect the interests of the Ahinda community. Ahinda is not just an organization. It is a movement. The movement will be alive till their demands are fulfilled and I will support it. Even now, I have been working as their voice.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಕರಾವಳಿಯನ್ನು ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಕೋಮುವಾದದ ಪ್ರಯೋಗ ಶಾಲೆಯನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡಿದೆ, ಹಾಗಾಗಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ನಾಯಕರು ಆಗಾಗ ಕರಾವಳಿಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅಮಿತ್ ಶಾ ಮತ್ತು ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಬಂದು ಮನೆ ಮಾಡಿದ್ರೂ ಈ ಬಾರಿಯ ಲೋಕಸಭೆ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗೆ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಜನ ಬೆಂಬಲ ನೀಡುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.@INCKarnataka pic.twitter.com/SJScW6kVRD

Three children among 7 of family killed in massive fire at multi-storey building in Delhi's Palam
New Delhi, Mar 18 (PTI): Seven members of a family, including three children, died after a fire broke out in a multi-storey residential building in southwest Delhi's Palam area on Wednesday morning, officials said.
Two people jumped from the building in a bid to escape the flames and were admitted to a hospital, they said.
A massive firefighting and rescue operation was launched with 30 fire tenders after the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) received a call regarding the blaze around 7 am from a house located in a building near Palam Metro Station.
"Information was received about a fire in a residential unit, and we feared some people might be trapped inside. Rescue operations were launched immediately," a DFS officer said.
The second and third floors of the five-storey building were residential units.
Visuals from the scene showed thick plumes of black smoke billowing out of the building and rising into the sky, as flames engulfed portions of the structure.
Seven people, including three children, were taken out of the building by DFS personnel and rushed to a nearby hospital, where they were declared dead, officials said.
Two others had jumped out of the building due to the flames. They are currently under treatment at a hospital, they said.
According to Delhi Fire Services (DFS), the building had a basement and five floors, with a temporary tin shed on the roof. The basement, ground and first floors were being used for storage of clothes and cosmetics, while the second and third floors were residential units.
Firefighters carried out intensive search and rescue operations in the smoke-filled building after navigating through the congested locality. Cooling operations were underway at the time of filing this report, while teams continued to search the premises to ensure no one remained trapped, officials said.
In videos circulating online, people could be seen gathering in the narrow lanes near the building as firefighters battled the blaze using hoses and ladders.
Police and other emergency services have cordoned off the area to facilitate the firefighting operation. The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained. Further details are awaited.
