Belagavi: Former speaker, Congress MLA Ramesh Kumar reportedly gave a shocking statement to the media and said, “I died four days ago”. 

When he was asked about the Belagavi Chalo initiative of the Karave Activists and the vandalism perpetrated by the MES activists, the MLA refused to answer to the media near the Suvarna Soudha saying, “I died four days ago, ask about this to a living person”, and folded both his hands before the press and went to the Vidhana Sabha. 

In the recent assembly session, after condemning the half-hearted agreement to discussions on the farmer’s issues, Ramesh Kumar had said, “When rape is inevitable, one must enjoy” creating severe controversy in the public sphere.

Chandigarh: A loud blast was reported outside the residence of senior BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia in Jalandhar, Punjab, around 1 am on Monday, sparking panic in the area.

According to the police, no one was injured in the incident. The blast occurred near Shastri Market, close to Kalia’s house. Forensic teams have arrived at the scene to collect evidence and determine the nature of the explosion.

Jalandhar Police Commissioner Dhanpreet Kaur said the investigation is underway to ascertain whether it was a grenade attack or caused by another explosive device. CCTV footage from the vicinity is also being examined to trace the culprits.

Kalia, a former Cabinet minister and ex-president of the Punjab BJP, was reportedly at home at the time of the incident.

This incident comes amid a series of similar blasts reported across Punjab in recent months, including explosions targeting police posts in Amritsar and Gurdaspur, and one outside a temple in Amritsar last month.
