JDU will support Congress: Sharad Yadav faction
Assembly Election
Bengaluru, May 2: JDU state president Dr Nada Gowda said that the party executive meeting has decided to support the Congress in this Assembly election in Karnataka in order to defeat communal forces.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, he said that the decision was taken at the party Executive Committee meeting held here on April 28. The NDA government at the centre has failed to fulfill the promises made to the people. The JDU has taken this decision to ensure that the Opposition party should also be as stronger as ruling party in a democratic system, he said.
It is possible to build a strong nation on the basis of scientific approach and development. But the BJP has been trying to mislead the people emotionally and is trying to build the society on this ground which is not possible. In view of this, the party workers would campaign in favour of Congress candidates, he said.
As there are several cases of the party pending before the court and Election Commission, it was decided to flout Loktantrik Janatadal Party on May 18 in order to contest the next Parliamentary elections, he said.

Telangana: Teen rape victims pass Class 10 exam, aspire to join police
Hyderabad (PTI): Demonstrating remarkable grit and determination in the face of severe trauma, two minor rape victims in Telangana have recently passed the Class 10 examination with flying colours, results of which were recently announced in the state. The journey of younger girl (aged 15) is extremely shocking as she was raped by her own father in 2023.
This was discovered when her grandmother took her to a hospital when she complained of stomach pain, where doctors found out that she was pregnant.
To make matters worse, her pregnancy could not be aborted as it was in an advanced stage. She delivered a baby in the ninth month, M Mahender Reddy, a police officer, who dealt with both cases, told PTI recently.
The baby was admitted to an orphanage and the girl continued her education, he added.
Despite these tribulations, she passed the class X standard examination with a 5.6 GPA (grade point average).
The father was handed out a conviction with life imprisonment by the court which also awarded a compensation of Rs 15 lakh to the girl, Reddy said.
The other girl (aged 16) was raped by her uncle, Reddy said. She secured an impressive 9.3 GPA in the class X standard exams.
In view of the heinous crime committed by her uncle, the girl's relatives stayed away from the family.
However, they congratulated her after her success in the X standard exam, he said.
Interestingly, both the girls now aspire to become police officers as their fear of police has vanished after they were helped by the Meerpet police station to get justice.
Reddy, who earlier served as SHO of Meerpet police station, said the woman constables and other police personnel handled the case with a humane approach.
Apart from helping the victims, Reddy said the police personnel went beyond the call of duty and tried to instill courage in their minds without confining themselves to the case requirements.
The police personnel also encouraged them to pursue their education, he added.
