Bengaluru, Nov 30: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah lashed out at the BJP leaders saying that they have been speaking against cow slaughter and protecting cows despite they hailed from the clan of those who killed Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi.

Speaking at a workshop on ‘Constitution’ held at the KPCC office here on Friday, Siddaramaiah said that those who speak about cow protection have not cleaned the cow dung or the waste once in their lifetime.  “I have cleaned the cow dung, cleaned the cowshed. Did upper class people clean the cow dung once?” When asked KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao and vice president BL Shankar present on the stage whether they have cleaned the dung or not, they said no.

Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde issued a statement on changing the Constitution. But both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah have not taken any action against him, which means they were also supporting his stand of changing the Constitution. He does not know whether BJP state president Yeddyurappa has read the Constitution or not. He might have read the Constitution for his selfish motive. BJP people have been opposing the Constitution right from the first day and they could not protect the Constitution, he said.

Hyderabad (PTI): The promising Angkrish Raghuvanshi (59) made a well-paced fifty as Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets in their IPL match here on Sunday.

Skipper Ajinkya Rahane (43) and Raghuvanshi added 84 runs for the second wicket as KKR overhauled SRH’s under-par 165 all out with ease.

Finn Allen made an aggressive 29 off 13 balls upfront to give KKR a brisk start.

Earlier, Travis Head made a belligerent 61 off 28 balls but KKR's spinners bowled well to restrict SRH to 165.

Mystery spinners Varun Chakravarthy (3/36) and Sunil Narine (2/31) wrecked SRH middle-order with controlled spells.

Along the way of his two-wicket burst in his fourth-over, Narine also completed 200 IPL wickets.

The spinner was the third bowler to achieve the feat after Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Ishan Kishan made 42 off 29 balls.
