CPI extends support to Cong in 219 constituencies
Assembly election
Bengaluru, May 5: The CPI has decided to extend it support to Congress in 219 constituencies in the Assembly election apart from Kudligi, Sira, Bagepalli, Kalaburgi rural and Melukote.
CPI Executive Committee member HV Anantha Subba Rao said that Veeranna and Girish of CPI would contest in Kudligi and Sira respectively, while CPM candidates would contest from Bagepalli and Kalaburgi rural constituencies, and Dharshan Puttannaiah of Swaraj India would contest from Melukote constituencies. Congress, JDS and BJP have been campaigning for the election in a brisk pace. Unfortunately, caste and money were playing a major role in this election. Instead of discussing over the manifestos, allegations and counter-allegations and personal attacks have been taking centre stage, he said.
The BJP has no moral right to ask votes because, its leaders have been saying that they have come to power just to change the Constitution. BJP has no faith in democracy, socialism and social justice for which it should be defeated. The JDS has no ideology, principles or philosophy. Only family politics is their objective. It has no credibility among people because of its opportunist attitude. So it could not protect the interests of the people. So, the farming community, labourers, women and others should support the CPI, CPM, Swaraj India and Congress candidates in the election, he said in a press release.

“Bleeding on the road, I begged for help but no one came”: Bengaluru woman recounts husband’s death
Bengaluru: A woman in Bengaluru has shared a painful account of how her husband died after they were repeatedly denied medical help and ignored by passersby during a medical emergency, NDTV reported.
The victim, 34-year-old Venkataramanan, a garage mechanic from Balaji Nagar, developed severe chest pain around 3.30 am. His wife immediately took him on a motorcycle in search of medical help.
"He complained about chest pain, and we went to the first hospital. However, the doctor was not on duty. At the second hospital, we were told he had a stroke and to go to another hospital. When we called for ambulance services, they did not respond properly. Humanity failed, but we did our bit by donating his eye." NDTV quoted his wife as saying.
According to the report, after being turned away twice, the couple met with an accident on the road. CCTV footage later showed the woman, covered in blood, pleading with folded hands as vehicles passed by, but no one stopped to help.

The wait ended after several minutes when a cab driver stopped and rushed Venkataramanan to a nearby hospital. Doctors there declared him dead on arrival.
As per the report, the family decided to donate Venkataramanan’s eyes, giving sight to others even in death.
Venkataraman's mother, who had lost her last surviving child, had no words to express herself: "I have no words. I do not know what to say. My son is gone."
"The government should understand a health emergency. My daughter is left with two children. Who will look after them?" asked his mother-in-law. His wife, mother, and two children, a five-year-old son and an 18-month-old daughter now survive Venkataramanan.
The incident has once again raised serious questions about emergency healthcare access, ambulance response, and public apathy in the city.
