Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan on Friday added that Devegowda was blaming Siddaramaiah for the collapse of coalition government to gain political advantage.

Khan also added that Siddaramaiah was a matured politician and he does not indulge in low level politics like the father and son duo of HD Devegowda and HD Kumaraswamy.

He further added that the coalition government would not have collapsed had Kumaraswamy taken into confidence all the legislators of both the parties.

“Kumaraswamy should prove that he was harassed by Siddaramaiah to establish his allegations. With prove they should not blame or make allegations against any one” Khan advised Kumaraswamy while speaking to reporters in the city.

Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.

The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).

"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.

The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.

The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.

Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.

They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.

Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
