Bengaluru: Chief Minister of Karnataka Basavaraj Bommai has said that the BJP does not expect Jagadish Shettar to return to the party.
Addressing reporters here on Monday, the senior leader said “The BJP always treated Shettar with a lot of respect and never sidelined or neglected him. The Congress, in contrast, has a ‘use and throw’ attitude. Shettar too will be treated no better. Why Shettar joined the Congress in spite of being aware of such a mentality in the Congress is a mystery to all of us.”
The Chief Minister stated that the BJP High Command had taken note of the political developments in Karnataka.
Bommai further said that the Congress values Lingayats a lot only at the time of elections, and stated with confidence, “The Lingayats, however, will not let the BJP down as long as BS Yediyurappa is in the BJP.”

UP: Constable 'facilitates' issuance of passport for Lawrence Bishnoi gang member, suspended
Meerut (UP), Nov 15: A police constable has been suspended after it was found that he failed to verify a fake address here resulting in the issuance of a passport for a suspected member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, officials said on Friday.
The suspension of constable Sandesh Kumar came after an investigation into the matter, which revealed procedural lapses at the Kankarkheda police station, they said.
Superintendent of Police (City), Ayush Vikram Singh, said that Pritam Singh Barar, who is believed to be affiliated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, was also wanted by the Rajasthan Police.
"Barar's passport was processed in the Kankarkheda police station area. It was later found that the address he provided was not properly verified before the passport was issued," the officer said.
Upon further inquiry, constable Kumar, who was responsible for verifying the documents, was found guilty of negligence and misconduct, the officials said, adding he has been suspended by Meerut SSP.
"The constable failed to verify the address before recommending the passport, which led to its approval. Strict action is being taken against him," said the SP (city).
