Offers to pay Rupees one crore for Siddaramaiah's campaign in Yadgir
Yadgir: In what has come as a surprise for many, a BJP leader from Yadgir has requested former Karnataka CM and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah to contest the upcoming Karnataka Assembly Elections from Yadgir.
Chandraya Konkal, a local BJP leader has also stated that he would give one crore rupees for Siddaramaiah’s campaigning if he decides to contest the polls from Yadgir.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Konkal said Yadgir was lagging in development and the local BJP MLA was an inefficient administrator.
“The hospitals here have no doctors nor have they been developed. Only if Siddaramaiah comes here can Yadgir witness any progress.”
He added, “Although I am a member of the BJP, all my family members always supported Siddaramaiah. I have even sold my 7-acre land for the sake of Siddaramaiah.”

Morena, Jan 3: A Dalit woman and her daughter were brutally assaulted on Friday allegedly by two men and then dragged on the road in Morena in Madhya Pradesh following a minor incident involving a dog, a police official said.

"Anita Mahor's son Deepak has told us that his younger brother Santosh was going to throw waste this morning when he was startled by the presence of a dog. He threw the waste, which also included dung, on the dog in fright and fled. This infuriated the two accused," he said.
The two accused and others stormed into Mahor's house armed with a chopper and sticks and attacked her and her kin, police said.
