Bengaluru: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s challenge to Congress president Rahul Gandhi hasn’t gone unnoticed. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday threw a counter-challenge by asking him to speak for 15 minutes about the achievements of the erstwhile B S Yeddyurappa government — by looking at a paper. 

“Dear PM @narendramodi ji, I challenge you to speak about the achievements of B S Yeddyurappa’s Govt in Karnataka for 15 minutes by looking at a paper. Sincerely Siddaramaiah,” Siddaramaiah tweeted.

Even on Monday, Siddaramaiah had hit back at the Prime Minister for his “2+1 formula” jibe at him, the chief minister has said Narendra Modi’s formula to win the assembly election in the state is “2 + 1, means 2 Reddys and 1 Yeddi”.  

Dear PM @narendramodi ji,

I challenge you to speak about the achievements of B S Yeddyurappa’s Govt in Karnataka for 15 minutes by looking at a paper.

Sincerely
Siddaramaiah https://t.co/zSkja6eURO

Davangere: Reports state that two groups engaged in stone pelting at each other during Ganesha idol immersion ceremony in Davangere on Thursday. Two police personnel were injured in the incident.

Few days ago, two groups of youth engaged in verbal altercation regarding raising of a flag for Eid Milad celebration. On account of the clashes, police had heightened security for the Ganesha procession. Despite the additional security, stones were pelted at the procession, sources stated. Inspector Gururaj and constable Raghavendra were injured in the incident. The procession continued after the police brought the situation to control. However, the stone pelting resumed once again as the procession surged forwards.

Security has been tightened up in the area and all shops have been closed down by the police. The two police personnel, who were injured in the stone pelting, are undergoing treatment at a hospital.
