Shivamogga: BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa reacted sharply against AICC president Rahul Gandhi terming him as a ‘mad fellow’. Talking to the media persons at the helipad on Thursday, Yeddyurappa reacting to the tweet made by Rahul Gandhi saying ‘Modi sending all tainted leaders to assembly’, said there is no need to give importance to the statement made by Rahul Gandhi.

Yeddyurappa was speaking to media persons here on Thursday. He said “Rahul lacks minimum knowledge of how to speak.” Rahul’s tweet came after PM Modi for levelling corruption charges against the Siddaramaiah government.

The tweet by Rahul was directed against BJP leaders who are contesting for the assembly elections. The tweet targets all those leaders who are facing charges under different issues including Yeddyurappa.

On Thursday, Rahul said the BJP had given tickets to eight tainted candidates for the upcoming elections. Rahul who is on visit to the state questioned the Prime Minister’s authority to speak on corruption while he was surrounded by BJP leaders involved in corruption. On April 2, Rahul tweeted that ‘Oppression of Dalits is in the DNA of BJP and RSS’ which evoked strong remarks.

Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.

The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.

"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.

Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.

A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.

Police personnel have been deployed in the area in view of tension following the incident, the official added.
