‘Let this election deflate the self-boasting ‘strong’ CM’, says H D Deve Gowda
H D Deve Gowda stated that he wished to see Siddaramaiah deflated in this Lok Sabha election for calling Narendra Modi a weak PM and boasting of himself as a ‘strong’ CM. He was speaking at BJP-JDS joint meeting at Bengaluru.
“Siddaramaiah should be taught a lesson for speaking lightly of a world renowned leader like Narendra Modi. Make the alliance candidate win in Mysuru and deflate Siddaramaiah”, he directed JDS core-committee member and Chamundeshwari MLA G T Devegowda.
Requesting each and every worker to fight for the same goal, Deve Gowda asked all to take care that no glitch arises in the alliance and expressed his anger at the Karnataka Government for approaching court ‘against the Prime Minister’.
Calling Siddaramaiah arrogant with power for doubting the existence of JDS, the Former Prime Minister stated that despite his 91 years of age, he was still capable of breaking such arrogance and he had no fear in his life.

Accusing Congress of yielding heavy money power in all 28 constituencies, Deve Gowda said that Congress even funded other states like Telangana where the party was in power. “AICC gets funding from Karnataka”, he accused.
“I am happy that both our parties are meeting for coordination. I have come here after garlanding the photos of Bharat Mata, Shyam Prakash Mukherjee and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya. State in-change Radha Mohan Das is informed about all the constituencies and relaying the same to BJP chiefs. Two parties must coalesce. Yediyurappa has great role to play here. We are short of time. We must forget what happened in the past and work together”, he said.

Shreyas Iyer becomes most expensive IPL buy at Rs 26.75 crore, goes to PBKS
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) (PTI): India batter Shreyas Iyer became the most expensive player in the history of IPL as Punjab Kings broke the bank to buy him for Rs 26.75 crore in the tournament's mega auction here on Sunday.
Iyer surpassed the record held by Australian pacer Mitchell Starc, who was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 crore in the last auction.
Among others, Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh's consistency earned him a massive bid of Rs 18 crore, also from Punjab Kings via the Right to Match card, while South African speedster Kagiso Rabada was bought for Rs 10.75 crore by Gujarat Titans.
Iyer, the former Kolkata Knight Riders captain, started with a base price of Rs two crore.
Delhi Capitals had the bid at Rs 26 crore for him but PBKS raised the amount to get the player.
Chennai Super Kings started with the first bid for Arshdeep, whose base price was also Rs two crore.
Eventually, after an intense bidding war, the seamer was bought back by Punjab, who exercised the right to match option to complete the deal, having released him earlier.
This is the second time an IPL auction is being held outside the country after last year's event in Dubai.
