MB Patil takes jibe at BJP, says party fires in air
Bengaluru, Sept 13: Taking a jibe at BJP, former minister MB Patil has said that the BJP fires in the air. His statement came when the saffron party’s claim of 14 MLAs of Congress being with them was proved wrong.
Speaking to reporters in the city on Thursday, he said, "We are in touch with the 18 MLAs of the BJP. But the BJP should disclose who is in contact with them.
Patil, who said that no BJP leader had contacted him, said “all the 78 MLAs are eligible and it is up to the party high command to select.
There are minor issues in all districts, including the Belgaum problem. KPCC President and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, both are resolving them. Today or tomorrow I will talk to KPCC President and Jarkhiholi brothers, Patil added.

KKR hammer DC by eight wickets as Allen smashes unbeaten ton
New Delhi (PTI): Finn Allen smashed a 47-ball 100 not out as Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Delhi Capitals by eight wickets to register their fourth win on the trot in the IPL, here on Friday.
Opting to bowl, KKR spinners led by Sunil Narine strangled Delhi Capitals in the middle overs on a tacky surface to restrict them to 142/8.
Pathum Nissanka struck a quick 50 (29 balls; 5x4, 3x6) but Delhi lost momentum after his dismissal, scoring just 11 runs between the 12th and 16th overs as Anukul Roy (2/31), Kartik Tyagi (2/25) and Sunil Narine (1/17) applied the brakes.
Ashutosh Sharma’s late 28-ball 39 (3x4, 3x6), gave Delhi some respite.
In reply, Allen, who came in as Impact Sub for Varun Chakravarthy, smashed 10 sixes and five fours to make it a lopsided chase as KKR sealed the win in just 14.2 overs.
Brief Scores:
Delhi Capitals 142/8 in 20 overs (Pathum Nissanka 50, Ashutosh Sharma 39; Anukul Roy 2/31, Kartik Tyagi 2/25). Kolkata Knight Riders 147/2 in 14.2 overs (Finn Allen 100 not out).
