Bengaluru: Nikhil Kumaraswamy, the JD(S) candidate from Ramanagara constituency for the upcoming Assembly election, broke down when he found his grandfather and JD(S) Supremo HD Deve Gowda to be unwell.
Nikhil, son of former Chief Minister and senior JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy, visited Deve Gowda at the former Prime Minister’s residence in the city on Monday, to receive the B-Form to file his nomination.
Finding Deve Gowda’s health condition to be poor, Nikhil broke down.
He was accompanied by Kumaraswamy, his mother Anitha and wife Revathi during the visit.
In the 2018 Assembly elections, Kumaraswamy had won from both Ramanagara and Channapatna constituencies. He continued as Channapatna MLA, resigning as Ramanagara MLA. His wife Anitha contested from JD(S) and won the bypoll for the Ramanagara seat, following his resignation.
This year, as Anitha confirmed that she would not contest the elections, the JD(S) has given the Ramanagara ticket to Nikhil Kumaraswamy.

Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
