Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G Parameshwara on Monday added that the pro-BJP exit polls looks have been designed as per the orders of BJP but in reality it be the BJP who will lose.

Speaking to reporter at Sadashiv Nagar office the senior Congress leader said “By claiming that the party will get 300-400 seats in the exit polls, the BJP is solacing itself. But in reality it is the UPA government who will form the government. Even our leaders in Delhi are of the same opinion. Can you believe that BJP will win 18 seats in Karnataka?” He questioned.

“The exit polls this time are completely wrong. Especially that of Karnataka state. The JD(S) and Congress will get more seats than what is being projected in the exit polls, there is absolutely no doubt about it” he added while expressing dissent over the use of EVM machines.

“We don’t want EVM machines, the elections should be conducted through ballot papers. We requested the same to the Election Commission but it did not help. We have seen examples of EVMs being hacked and manipulated and there is no doubt about it” he said.

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.
