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.

Double murder in B'luru park: Mother of woman stabbed to death kills daughter's murderer
Bengaluru, Apr 18: In a case of double murder in Bengaluru, a 24-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her acquaintance who later died on the spot after he was hit with a stone by the woman's mother at Jayanagar area here on Thursday, police said.
The deceased were identified as Anusha and 44-year-old Suresh. They had known each other for five years, they said.
A preliminary investigation has revealed that the Anusha and Suresh had an altercation in the park because she had begun distancing herself from him, which he did not take well. She did not want to have any association with him, the police said.
They met at the park where he allegedly stabbed her twice, a senior police officer said.

Before stepping out of her house, Anusha had informed her mother that she was going to meet someone in the park for five minutes and would be back soon. Suspecting that something was amiss, the mother followed her daughter to the park and ended up witnessing Anusha being stabbed in front of her, he said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Lokesh Bharamappa Jagalasar said that Anusha and Suresh were killed around 4.45 pm at Sarakki Park in Jayanagar.
"Based on the investigation so far, it appears that Suresh stabbed Anusha. Anusha’s mother rushed to save her and in that bid, she hit Suresh on his head with a stone and he died on the spot. We are currently interrogating an eyewitness in the case," he said.
Anusha was grievously injured, with one injury on her chest and another on her neck. She was declared brought dead at the hospital, he added.
"Both of them knew each other from their workplace. Anusha was a caretaker, while Suresh worked for an event management company. Anusha was trying to keep her distance from him, which may have led to this incident," the DCP said.
Two separate cases have been registered in connection with the incident and the mother of the deceased is being questioned, police said, adding that further investigation is underway.
