Kumaraswamy was the reason coalition government collapsed: Siddaramaiah
Kalaburagi: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Karnataka’s Leader of Opposition, Siddaramaiah on Wednesday came down hard at HD Kumaraswamy asserting that HDK was the reason why the coalition government between Congress-JD(s) collapsed in the state.
Speaking to reporters in the city, Siddaramaiah referred to HDK’s remarks on him that he made a day earlier in Mysuru, claiming that Siddaramaiah had a secret meeting with BS Yediyurappa who later became the CM after forming BJP government in the state.
Kumaraswamy had, on October 12 in Mysuru, alleged that the I-T raids were carried out at the behest of the BJP’s national leadership after Yediyurappa met Siddaramaiah. He had also alleged that Siddaramaiah had conspired to destabilize the BJP government in Karnataka by holding a secret meeting with Yediyurappa.
“HDK’s allegations against me are baseless. If he did not want to form a coalition government with us, why did he become the CM of the state? If I wanted the coalition government to fall, why would I agree for him to take CM’s seat? HDK is scared of me, people only target those who they are afraid of,” Siddaramaiah said.
Siddaramaiah also pointed out that three JD(S) MLAs had joined hands with BJP to topple his government.

Leopard strays into house near Bengaluru, family locks it inside
Bengaluru, Apr 3 (PTI): A family in Jigani on the outskirts of Bengaluru had a close encounter with a leopard that wandered into their home on Thursday morning. Acting swiftly, they locked the big cat inside and escaped unhurt, a forest official confirmed.
The incident occurred at Pilla Reddy Layout, where Venkatesh, his wife Venkatalakshmi, and their son Nikhil reside in a rented house.
Jigani, located near the forested Bannerghatta National Park, frequently sees wildlife movement, including leopards and elephants, the forest official added.
As the family prepared for the day, they were startled to find the leopard inside their home.
Overcoming their initial panic, they managed to rush out and secure the door from the outside.
Venkatesh then alerted neighbours and informed the police and forest department.
A forest team promptly arrived, tranquilised the animal, and safely caged it.
Meanwhile, a large crowd gathered to witness the rescue operation.
Police were deployed to maintain order and prevent any untoward incidents.
