Priyank Kharge hits out at Bommai govt over Rs. 25L compensation to Harsha's family from govt funds
Asks how much compensation was given to martyred soldier Althaf's family
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge on Wednesday hit out at the state government adding that it was misusing the government funds by compensating it to the families of its party’s slain workers.
Referring to the state government’s move to give compensation of Rs. 25 lakh to the family of Harsha who was killed in Shivamogga last month, Kharge also asked the government whether any such compensation has so far been handed over to the family of the martyred soldier from Madikeri, Althaf who was killed while serving in the army earlier last month.
“Has the BJP government changed the definition of patriotism? By granting money to the Godse worshipper, does the BJP approve the killing of Gandhi? CM must answer”, he wrote in a series of tweets on Wednesday.
“What is the agenda behind government compensating the family of Harsha in Shivamogga with 25 lakh rupees? Under what rule are they giving away people’s tax money? Has this government been giving similar compensation to those who were killed due to personal enmity in the state?” he questioned.
“It is learned that the deceased Harsha had several serious cases registered against him. In 2020, this same government sent him to jail, and even Shivamogga’s in-charge minister Narayangowda has said that this was a murder that occurred due to personal enmity. The investigation report by the police has not yet come out. When this is the case, why and how was the compensation money given? he questioned.
“It is shocking to see this government which has been troubling the victims of the flood and family of those who died during the COVID without compensating them, give 25 lakhs in compensation to their party’s worker! If they possess such a generous heart, why haven’t they given the same to the murdered Dalit youth’s family in Dharmasthala, who was murdered by a BJP leader? Why haven’t they given it to the family of Kodagu’s martyred soldier?
“If they want to give funds from the BJP party, not 25 lakhs let them even give 25 crores, but who gave them the authority to misuse the government’s fund?” he questioned.

ದೇಶಭಕ್ತಿಯ ವ್ಯಾಖ್ಯಾನ ಬದಲಿಸಿದೆಯೇ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ?

Man mocked over weight shoots at two in Gorakhpur, arrested
Gorakhpur, May 10 (PTI): A man allegedly shot at two men for fat-shaming him during a feast in this Uttar Pradesh district, police said on Saturday.
The alleged incident occurred on Thursday and a complaint was lodged at Khajni police station the following day. The accused was arrested the same day.
Arjun Chauhan, a resident of the Belghat area, was attending a community feast near a temple with his uncle a few days ago. During the event, two other guests -- Anil Chauhan and Shubham Chauhan from Manjhariya -- allegedly mocked his weight and called him "motu (fat)".
"Enraged, Arjun Chauhan and his friend Asif Khan on Thursday followed the pair on the highway. After an initial failed attempt, the accused stopped their car near the Tenua toll plaza, dragged both men out and opened fire before fleeing," Superintendent of Police (South) Jitendra Kumar said.
Passersby rushed the injured to the district hospital from where they were referred to the district medical college. Both are now out of danger, the officer said.
Based on a complaint by Shubham Chauhan's father, an FIR was registered and the accused arrested on Friday.
