Kumaraswamy and his wife enter Assembly together for second time
Bengaluru, November 7: With a record victory of Anitha Kumaraswamy in Ramanagar Assembly constituency in the by-election on Tuesday defeating BJP candidate L Chandrashekar with a margin of 1.09 lakh votes, both Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and his wife Anitha Kumaraswamy entered the Legislative Assembly together for the second time and thus created a history.
Ramanagar seat was vacant as Kumaraswamy preferred to retain Channapatna constituency from where he had won in the last assembly elections.
JDS leader K Gopalaiah said that “it is a rare occasion that a chief minister and his wife both are entering the Assembly together. The State Assembly has never ever had such an instance where a chief minister and his wife become MLAs together. However, the two had earlier been the members of the Assembly together as Kumaraswamy had represented Ramanagar constituency, and Anitha was the MLA from Madhugiri seat”, he said.
There are instances of brothers, father-son duo and father-daughter have entered the House.

Fake notes with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them send police into tizzy in Sirsi
Sirsi (Karnataka), Apr 8 (PTI): The police in Uttar Kannada went into a tizzy on Tuesday after they found fake currency notes of Rs 500 denomination from a house in Dandeli with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them.
Based on a tip-off, police searched a rented house at Gandhinagar in Dandeli and confiscated the fake currency notes along with a money counting machine.
Arshad Khan, who is said to be from Goa, was staying as a tenant in the house belonging to Noorjan Jhunjuwadkar, police said.
Police were informed after Jhunjuwadkar noticed that Khan was absent from the house for the past one month.
The fake currency notes had the inscription 'Reverse Bank of India' on them, but did not have the signature of the RBI governor, police said.
The notes were printed on a shining paper with only zeros written in the place of the number, and 'movie shooting purpose only' inscribed on them, police said.
A hunt is on to trace Khan to question him about the seizure, they added.
