JDS can’t dethrone Cong government: Amith Shah
Tumakuru, May 9: BJP president Amith Shah said that as the JDS could not dethrone the corrupt Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in the state, people of Karnataka should vote BJP for overall development of the state.
Addressing an election rally at Hebbur village in Tumkuru rural constituency on Wednesday, Shah said that the only way to check the corrupt Congress is electing BJP which has given 117 programmes for the youth. As Siddaramaiah realized his defeat in Chamundeshwari, he has gone to Badami. BJP candidate Sriramulu would defeat Siddaramaiah there also. Siddaramaiah was trying to win the election by distributing money which is not possible, he said.
Siddaramaiah who claims himself as socialist has a watch worth Rs 40 lakh and he was telling that it was gifted to him by one of his friends. But he should tell as to why the watch was gifted to Siddaramaiah. Moreover, Siddaramaiah did not disclose about this watch in his affidavit while filing his nomination papers. He has not spoken about this issue. In the entire country, Siddaramaiah is the No.1 corrupt. He has looted in the name of farmers, unemployed, and the poor and it is 10 per cent government, he said.
Tumakuru rural candidate B Suresh Gowda, ZP vice president Sharada Narasimhamurthy, taluk panchayat president Ganganjaneya and others were present.

Ajit Pawar wins Baramati battle, defeats nephew Yugendra by more than 1 lakh votes
Baramati, Nov 23: Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister and NCP president Ajit Pawar on Saturday won from his traditional Baramati assembly constituency by defeating his nephew and NCP (SP) candidate Yugendra Pawar by more than one lakh votes.
Ajit, who parted ways with his uncle Sharad Pawar last year and was seeking an eighth term from this family bastion in Pune district, polled 1,81,132 votes while Yugendra Pawar polled 80,233 votes.
Ajit, thus, defeated his younger brother's son by 1,00,899 votes.
Five months ago, Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) had triumphed in Baramati in the Lok Sabha elections, with incumbent MP and Sharad Pawar's daughter Supriya Sule defeating Ajit Pawar's wife Sunetra by a margin of 1.5 lakh votes.
Both the NCP factions did not leave a single stone unturned during the assembly campaign, and even Sharad Pawar's wife Pratibha Pawar and Sule's daughter Revati were seen campaigning for Yugendra, while Ajit Pawar brought his mother on stage during his concluding rally in Baramati.
While Sharad Pawar told the people of Baramati that they needed a new leadership, alluding to Yugendra Pawar whom he described as a highly-educated candidate, Ajit Pawar cautioned people not to fall prey to the "emotional pitch" by the senior Pawar.
After Saturday's results, Ajit Pawar, who along with several other NCP legislators sided with the BJP-Shiv Sena government in 2023, could claim to be the real political heir of his estranged uncle who founded the NCP in 1999.
Sunetra Pawar, now a Rajya Sabha member, thanked the people of Baramati for reposing their faith once again in `Dada' (elder brother in Marathi, as Ajit is fondly called).
