Devegowda taking political advantage by blaming me: Siddaramaiah
Huballi: Former Karnataka CM and Senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Monday added that he has no information about who will become the new KPCC President. “All I know is AICC Karnataka in-charge Ghulam Nabi Azad will be arriving in the state today. I am going to flood hit Badami to meet victims there” he said.
He was speaking to reporters at the Huballi Domestic Airport on Monday. Responding to a question seeking his response to the reports of BJP planning to have three deputy Chief Ministers in the cabinet, Siddaramaiah said “It is their call. Let them have as many Dy.CMs as they want. We are not bothered about it”.
Speaking about former PM HD Devegowda’s remarks that Siddaramaiah couldn’t control Congress MLAs, the former CM questioned “Who sent H Vishwanath, Narayan Gowda and Gopalaiah to Mumbai? They were from JD(S) it was not my responsibility to control them”.
“Devegowda failed to control his MLA. They failed to take Congress MLAs in their confidence, and that is why the coalition government collapsed. Now Devegowda, by blaming me for everything is trying to gain political mileage” he added.

Manipur: Mortal remains of children killed in bomb attack handed over to family
Imphal (PTI): The mortal remains of two children, who were killed in a bomb attack in Manipur's Bishnupur district in April, were handed over to family members on Saturday, officials said.
The bodies of the five-year-old boy and his six-month-old sister were kept in the morgue for 25 days, as the family members had refused to accept the mortal remains, demanding that the perpetrators be brought to book at the earliest.
On April 25, Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh had appealed to the family members of the children to accept the bodies. Singh had also said that all efforts were underway to find the culprits.
The two children were killed in a bomb attack at Tronglaobi in Bishnupur district on April 7. Their bodies were kept in the morgue at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences in Imphal.
The incident had triggered widespread violent protests in the five valley districts of Manipur, and the case was subsequently handed over to the NIA.
Hundreds of people lined up along the way to Tronglaobi to offer floral tributes, as the mortal remains were taken for the last rites in an open vehicle earlier in the day.
