Senior Congress legislator R V Deshpande awarded best MLA in Karnataka
Belagavi (PTI): Veteran Congress MLA and former Karnataka minister Raghunath Vishwanath Deshpande on Wednesday won the Best MLA Legislator Award.
Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri bestowed the award on the eight-time Congress MLA from Haliyal in Uttara Kannada.
The former Congress state president had also served as minister in various governments. Former chief minister Siddaramaiah hailed him as a person who always worked for bringing more investment to the state and welfare of the people of Karnataka.
Speaking on the occasion, Deshpande rued that there was "deterioration" in politics.
"Deterioration in politics is so much that the politicians are scared of introducing themselves. People don't have a good opinion about the politicians," the veteran leader said.
Deshpande appealed to the politicians to gain more knowledge to take part in constructive discussions.
He thanked God, the Congress party, his parents and the people of the state who reposed faith in him.
"2022ನೇ ಸಾಲಿನ ಅತ್ಯುತ್ತಮ ಶಾಸಕ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿಗೆ ಭಾಜನರಾಗಿರುವ ವಿಧಾನ ಸಭೆಯ ಹಿರಿಯ ಶಾಸಕ ಶ್ರೀ ಆರ್.ವಿ.ದೇಶಪಾಂಡೆಯವರಿಗೆ ಹಾರ್ದಿಕ ಅಭಿನಂದನೆಗಳು.

Doctor cheated of Rs 70 lakh in flat purchase deal in Navi Mumbai; 3 booked
Thane (PTI): A 48-year-old doctor has allegedly been duped of Rs 70 lakh by three persons, including a woman, who offered to sell him a flat in Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai township, police said on Thursday.
The accused showed a flat located in Roadpali area of Kalamboli to the doctor and expressed their intention to sell it to him despite the fact that it had been already sold to someone else.
They took Rs 70 lakh from the doctor but did not give him possession of the flat, an official from Kalamboli police station said.
When the doctor demanded his money back, the accused evaded him.
The doctor on Tuesday approached the police with a complaint, based on which a case was registered against the three accused under legal provisions for cheating and criminal breach of trust, the official said.
