Focused on strengthening party ahead of mid-term polls in state: Siddaramaiah
Huballi: Senior Congress leader and former CM Siddaramaiah on Monday added that he is focused on strengthening party ahead of the mid-term polls in the state.
Speaking to reporters at Huballi Domestic Airport on Monday Siddaramaiah said “Yediyurappa Government is not here to stay for long. It will eventually collapse as the voices of dissent has already been raised in their camps. It is not easy to continue government with rebels in the camps. They have formed government in an unfair manner, against the people’s mandate. People will show them their right place soon”.
Taking a dig at new cabinet ministers of Yediyurappa government, Siddaramaiah noted that they were busy travelling between Bengaluru to Delhi and were not available for the service of people of the state during the times of distress and floods.
He further called upon Yediyurappa to compensate people according to the loss incurred by them due to heavy rains and floods.

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.
