K'taka Congress starts campaign against graft in BJP govt
Bengaluru, Sept 13: Karnataka Congress on Tuesday launched a campaign against 40 per cent Sarkara, BJP means Bhrashtachara' with focus on the alleged corruption prevailing in Karnataka.
Today, we are launching a campaign against 40 per cent Sarkara, BJP means Bhrashtachara' (40 per cent government, BJP means corruption). Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai knows that his Cabinet ministers are completely involved in corrupt activities and are looting, former Chief Minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah said in a press conference.
He alleged that the public works have completely stopped.
Recalling the suicide of the Belagavi-based contractor and a BJP worker Santosh Patil who hanged himself in a hotel in Udupi earlier this year leaving behind a message holding the BJP's Shivamogga MLA K S Eshwarappa responsible for his death as he (MLA) allegedly demanded 40 per cent commission.
After the incident, Eshwarappa resigned as the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister.
The Congress State president D K Shivakumar who was present at the press conference released a campaign song on the 40 per cent commission government'.
Later, in a statement, the Congress said, Karnataka is currently burdened by the bottomless greed of the BJP government. The 40 per cent Sarkara has made the words 'corruption' and 'commission' a mainstay in every aspect of governance. Their hunger for money is so much that they're happy to sacrifice the lives of innocent people as well. The party said it would not let the BJP run riot and destroy the lives of the people of Karnataka. It added that it would expose the BJP's failure.

Mumbai family deaths: Rat poison ingredient zinc phosphide found in viscera, watermelon sample
Mumbai (PTI): Four members of a family in Pydhonie area of south Mumbai died last month due to rat poison, police officials said on Thursday.
The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report has confirmed the presence of zinc phosphide in viscera (liver, kidney, spleen), stomach contents, bile, and abdominal fat samples of the deceased identified as Abdulla Dokadia (44), his wife Nasrin (35) and their daughters Aayesha (16) and Zaineb (13), said Deputy Commissioner of Police Pravin Mundhe.
"The watermelon sample also tested positive for zinc phosphide, while all other food items were negative. The report will be studied in depth. We will consult forensic doctors. Further probe in the case is underway," the DCP said.

Zinc phosphide is used primarily as a highly toxic acute rodenticide to control rats and mice.
"The forensic experts who examined the viscera of deceased Abdulla Dokadia, Nasrin (35), Aayesha (16) and Zaineb (13) found traces of zinc phosphide. It is, however, unclear whether the rat poison was consumed accidentally (or on purpose). So far, we have found no strong reason why the whole family would take such an extreme step," another official said.
Further probe is being conducted by the JJ Marg police station, which has recorded statements of kin and neighbours, he added.
The Dokadia family, residents of Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road, had hosted a get-together of relatives on the night of April 25. At around 1 am, hours after the guests had left, Abdullah Dokadia, his wife Nasreen, and daughters Ayesha and Zaineb ate pieces of a watermelon.
They suffered severe bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea in the early hours of April 26 and were rushed to a local hospital before being referred to the government-run J J Hospital where all four died during treatment.
