‘It’s not fair to say centre will take revenge’
BJP leader Lehar Singh objects BSY statement
Bengaluru, September 21: Objecting to the statement of BJP state president B.S Yeddyurappa indirectly, BJP MLC Lehar Singh said that “It is not fair to drag the central government and PM Modi for everything. Using the name of the Prime Minister for our small goals, tarnishing his image and exhibiting that the centre would take revenge is not a good development”.
“It is my opinion that the party has never given power to use the name of the Prime Minister or the central institutions to hound the opposition parties. Those who violate the law will have to face the consequences as per the law of the land and it is not on the whims and fancies of any person. It is our duty to keep intact the concentration of the leadership at a time when the Lok Sabha election is fast approaching. In Goa, the party has been facing lot of problems. Along with this, the BJP has to face elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Telangana states, he wrote in his letter.

Minor boy strangled to death for ransom in UP's Sultanpur
Sultanpur (PTI): A debt-ridden neighbour allegedly kidnapped and murdered an 11-year-old boy boy at Sultanpur, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, Asif alias Sonu, demanded a ransom of Rs 5,00,000 for releasing Osama alias Sahil to repay his debts, Kotwali police station SHO Naradmuni Singh said.
"The incident took place in the Gandhinagar locality of Sultanpur. The victim's father, Mohd Shakeel, said his son went missing on Monday night after he left to attend a wedding procession. Despite searches, there was no trace of the child," the SHO said.
On Wednesday morning, Osama's body with strangulation marks was found at the residence of the accused whom the police arrested, he said.
Asif, who lives in the same neighbourhood as the victim, exploited the trust built between the two families to carry out the crime, the officer said.
The killing of the minor boy has triggered outrage in the area with the residents demanding stringent punishment for the accused.
The victim's family has called for death penalty for Asif.
