No need to read too much into DK Shivakumar statement: K.C. Venugopal
Ballary, October 21: AICC General Secretary and State In Charge K.C. Venugopal said that there was no need to read too much into the statement of Minister D.K. Shivakumar on separate Lingayat religion.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, Venugopal said that D.K. Shivakumar was a senior party leader and whatever he spoke, there was something in it. So, there was no need misinterpret it, he said.
It was far from truth that he has taken D.K. Shivakumar into task for giving such a statement. Shivakumar has expressed his opinion. He has not done any mistake. He has spoken right thing. But it was not the party opinion. It was his personal opinion, he said.

Jharkhand: Elephant 'electrocuted' to death in forest
Seraikela (PTI): An elephant was allegedly electrocuted to death in a forest in Chandil Sub-Division of Jharkhand's Seraikela-Kharsawan district on Wednesday, an official said.
Seraikela Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Saba Alam Ansari, told PTI that the 30-year-old tusker was found dead with electrical wires wrapped on its trunk.
“Villagers’ statement and the animal’s appearance suggest that it died due to electrocution after coming in contact with electric wires,” Ansari said.
"A forest department team along with local veterinarians conducted the post-mortem examination of the elephant at the spot," the DFO said.
