Bengaluru: The Congress Karnataka state unit has mocked the BJP for delaying the selection of the Opposition Leader in the Karnataka Assembly, saying the BJP altogether lacked a leader.

Tweeting on this in its official handle on Monday, the Karnataka Congress said, “The BJP is full of worthless people who have faced utter defeat, people who have already retirement, who work only from home, all of whom know to speak rubbish about our government. Does the party not have a single member worthy of being the Leader of the Opposition?”

Deputy Chief Minister and President of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) DK Shivakumar also demanded on Monday that the BJP select the Opposition Leader before commenting on their government. “The people have handed us power for five years, keeping faith in our capability, and we are now focusing on retaining their faith,” the Congress leader said.

Chennai (PTI): AR Dairy, a company that supplied ghee to Tirupati Lord Balaji temple, on Friday said their product samples have been duly cleared by authorities certifying its quality.

The Dindigul based firm's spokespersons told reporters that only during the months of June and July they had supplied ghee to the Tirumala Lord Venkateswaraswamy temple.

Even when ghee was supplied to Tirupati temple, it was sent along with duly accredited lab reports.

"There has been no deviations at all." Their firm was only one of the several vendors who had supplied ghee to the TTD and quality certifications had been shared with them.

"Our ghee is not being sent now to Tirupati temple. We don't send," a spokesperson said, adding, their products were available at all places and that these could be tested for quality.

A major row has erupted following Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's claims of low quality ghee and alleged presence of animal fat in the laddus made and distributed at the shrine.
