Senior Karnataka politician and former Deputy Chief Minister, KS Eshwarappa, declared his intention to contest independently from the Shivamogga constituency in the forthcoming general elections. Eshwarappa made this announcement during a meeting held at the Banjara community hall in the city on Friday.

Expressing his discontent, Eshwarappa accused BS Yediyurappa, former Karnataka Chief Minister, and Yediyurappa's son BY Vijayendra, who also serves as the party’s state unit President, of orchestrating unfair ticket distribution within the party. He emphasized the need for the BJP to operate without familial influence, stating, "A party should not be in the hands of a family. I have taken this decision to ensure fairness to Hindutva and party workers."

Jaipur, Dec 24: Efforts to rescue a three-year-old girl who fell into a 150 feet deep borewell in Kotputli-Behror district of Rajasthan continued on Tuesday.

The girl, Chetna, fell into the borewell while playing in the agriculture farm of her father on Monday.

SHO Sarund Mohammad Imran said teams of NDRF and SDRF are trying to rescue the girl safely.

Senior Commandant of NDRF Yogesh Meena said, "After failing to safely pull out the girl from the borewell with a ring rod, efforts are being made to pull her out with another local equipment made of iron plate."

The girl's actions were captured on camera and an oxygen pipe was lowered into the borewell to supply oxygen.

Two weeks ago, a five-year-old child fell into a borewell in Dausa district. The rescue operation to rescue the child safely lasted for more than 55 hours. However, by the time he was pulled out, the child had lost the battle of life.
