KS Eshwarappa Stands Firm, Declares Independent Candidacy from Shimoga
Shimoga: Former Deputy Chief Minister KS Eshwarappa remains resolute in his decision to contest as an independent candidate from the Shimoga constituency in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, despite efforts by the Sangh Parivar to persuade him otherwise.
Reports indicate that Sangh Parivar leader Gopal contacted Eshwarappa from Ayodhya to convince him to withdraw from the election race. However, Eshwarappa reiterated his stance, stating that he will contest independently and not withdraw for any reason.
Addressing media representatives at Rachateshwara Mutt in Belaragi, Shimoga, Eshwarappa expressed his opposition to family politics within the BJP. He highlighted the denial of tickets to leaders like C T Ravi, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, and Nalin Kumar Kateel, while criticizing Prime Minister Modi for allowing BS Yediyurappa's son to contest in Karnataka, contrary to Modi's stance against family politics in the Congress party.
Eshwarappa confirmed that he will not attend Prime Minister Modi's conference today, reaffirming his decision to contest independently. Despite attempts by central leaders to persuade him, Eshwarappa remains steadfast in his resolve.
Efforts by BJP's state in-charge Radha Mohan Das Agrawal to persuade Eshwarappa have been unsuccessful. Meanwhile, BJP state president Vijayendra said that the final decision rests with the people and Yediyurappa refused to talk to Eshwarappa. It is now apparent that the state BJP and the party's high command have abandoned efforts to persuade Eshwarappa.

Mother arrested for killing five-month-old child in Tripura
Agartala (PTI): Tripura Police has arrested a woman for allegedly killing her five-month-old child in Sepahijala district, officials said on Monday.
Initial investigation revealed that Suchitra Debbarma (28) killed her infant to pave the way for her plan to elope with a man she had been in a relationship with for a year.
After receiving information from Suchitra's neighbours, a police team headed by officer-in-charge of Sonamura police station Tapas Das went to their house at Rampadapara on Sunday.
"We found the baby lying on a bed while her mother was missing. We took the child to Sonamura sub-divisional hospital, where doctors declared the baby dead. Post-mortem will be conducted soon," he said.
According to Das, Suchitra was later arrested from the village.
"Prima facie, it appeared that Suchitra strangled her child to death when her husband, Amit Debbarma, went out for work at a rubber plantation. During interrogation, she admitted that she wanted to kill the baby and elope with another man with whom she had an extramarital affair," he said.
