‘Cornering of Siddaramaiah will cost more for Cong in Lok Sabha poll’
Niranjanananda Puri Swamiji of Kaginele Mutt warns
Bengaluru, June 28: Niranjanananda Puri Swamiji of Kaginele Mutt warned AICC president Rahul Gandhi that the Congress would have to face the consequences in the Lok Sabha election if the coalition government neglected former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, the swamiji said that the Congress would not even get 15 seats in the Lok Sabha election if Siddaramaiah was neglected. The party leadership should understand this. The Kuruba community was not given due share in the Congress-JDS coalition government cabinet. Moreover, the present government was trying to ride on the officials belonging to the Kuruba community which is uncalled for, he said.
“HD Kumaraswamy is not the Chief Minister of a particular community. He is the CM for the entire state. So, it is not fair to target the officers from the Kuruba community. If he does not stop doing this, he will have to face the music. In the beginning, the government has neglected Kuruba community leader Siddaramaiah and now, targeting the officers from the community”, he said.
Because of the support of the Kuruba and Muslim communities, the Congress has got 80 seats in the Assembly election and because of the Congress support, Kumaraswamy had become the Chief Minister and he was not Vokkaliga community CM. He was the CM of 6 crore people of the state and it was his responsibility to treat all equally, he said.
He was pained to see the developments being happened in the last couple of days. The Chief Minister was taking revenge against the officers of the Kuruba community. Even after transferring them, they were not shown any posts. The community would not tolerate such developments, the swamiji said.

Woman, four daughters killed in Lucknow hotel laid to rest in Sambhal
Sambhal (UP) (PTI): The Agra woman and her four daughters who were allegedly killed by her son in a Lucknow hotel were buried in Sambhal on Friday in front of her grieving family.
The bodies were brought to Sambhal early on Friday.
Mohammad Arshad allegedly killed his mother Asma and sisters Alia (9), Aksa (16), Rahmeen (18) and Alshia (19) in a Lucknow hotel room on Wednesday, according to police.
He then shot a video in which he confessed to slitting the wrists and throats of his sisters and mother. In the 6.5-minute selfie video, Arshad further claimed his father was also involved in the killings.
The family members of Asma, who hailed from Sambhal, demanded the death penalty for Arshad.
Asma's brother Mohammad Zeeshan said, "I received a phone call from Lucknow that day. I spoke with Arshad. He said, 'Uncle I have killed the whole family,' after which the police took away the phone."
"I last spoke to my sister almost four months ago. She was very simple and loving. I want Arshad to get the harshest punishment, he should be hanged," he said.
He also demanded that Arshad's father be arrested immediately.
Arshad, who was arrested shortly after the murders, was on Thursday sent to judicial custody.
Arshad's family lived in Agra and preliminary inquiry has revealed that he took the step because of domestic disputes.
In the video, Arshad claimed that he took the extreme step due to harassment and oppression by the residents of his locality.
