Modi had asked Deve Gowda to go to old age home: Siddaramaiah
Hubballi, May 2: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised JDS supremo and former prime minister HD Deve Gowda only to get political mileage in the Assembly elections.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, he said that in the last Lok Sabha elections, Modi had asked Deve Gowda to go to old age home. But now, Modi has praised Deve Gowda. Going by these developments, it is certain that both JDS and BJP have mutual understanding in the election. But they could not defeat him in Chamundeshwari constituency. He would win the constituency as the voters would bless him, he said.
Modi has been calling them as 2+1 and 1+1. Didn’t he contest two constituencies in the last Lok Sabha elections? Is Modi blind towards the candidature of BJP leader Govind Karajol and his son, CM Udasi’s son, Shashikala Jolle and her husband, Umesh Katti and his brother, Yeddyurappa and his son Raghavendra, he asked.
BJP state president and chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa has been saying that he would send Siddaramaiah into jail if he came to power. He does not have a common sense on law. He was not facing any criminal charges. BJP would not come to power in the state and Yeddyurappa would not become the chief minister. Yeddyurappa is fearing about the defeat of his party due to which he has been saying that he will be the next chief minister, he ridiculed.
The people have not yet forgotten the developments happened during the BJP ruling. For no cost, the people would not give the power once again to those who looted the state. He had conducted paadayatre against Reddy brothers. Anand Singh had been to jail. But the charges were not proved against him. Both Anand Sing and Sathish Sail would not be convicted, he said.

ECI website faces outage amid vote counting in Jharkhand, Maharashtra
New Delhi: Election Commission of India’s official results website ‘results.eci.gov.in’ has reportedly experienced a technical outage on Saturday morning, at a time when India closely watches the high-stakes Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly poll battle.
Visitors visiting the site were met with non-functional links and a generic “counting in progress” message, leaving them without updated election data. The ECI has not issued an official explanation for the disruption.
Vote counting, which began at 8 a.m. with postal ballots, is underway for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra and 81 in Jharkhand. Early trends suggest a lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra, currently ahead in 141 seats, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is leading in 96. In Jharkhand, the BJP-led NDA is ahead in 43 seats, while the ruling JMM-led alliance is trailing with leads in 33 constituencies.
Additionally, counting is underway for 48 assembly bypolls across 13 states and two parliamentary seats, Nanded in Maharashtra and Wayanad in Kerala.
