D.K. Shivakumar slaps party worker for putting hands on his shoulder!
Mandya: In a video that has now gone viral, KPCC president D. K. Shivakumar was seen slapping a fellow congress worker who tried to put his hand on D. K. Shivakumar’s shoulder.
It is learned that the incident occurred on Friday evening when D. K. Shivakumar had gone to Bharathi Nagar to visit former MP, Senior Farmer Activist G. Madegowda and enquire about his health.
When DKShi was walking along with fellow party workers, supporters, and leaders, a party worker had tried to put his hands across DKShi’s shoulder. Enrages by the unforeseen close contact, DKShi reportedly slapped the worker across his head, “Don’t you have common knowledge, just because they are filming a video you will put your hands across my shoulder”, he said angrily. The video also shows the party worker immediately retreating to the back.
BJP Condemns: The State BJP condemned the incident and stated that “living a public life, the fact that he has attacked a man in front of the media shows his savage mind-set. Previously, DKShi had attacked a worker who had come to take a selfie. Mr. DKShi, are you a politician or a rowdy” the party questioned in a tweet.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
