Shamanur Shivashankarappa has won election by tearing somebody's B form
Taunts home minister M.B Patil
Hubballi, Jan 13: Home Minister MB Patil ridiculed that “MLA Shamanur Shivashankarappa had a general store and was working as a middleman. But he has won the election after tearing the B form of somebody”.
Speaking to reporters at the Hubballi airport on Sunday, Patil said that Shivashankarappa should understand about his past and speak about others. He has built the Bapuji education institution by exploiting the others. He has been thinking about only his and his family’s development and speaking ill about others, he said.
“If you look at the birth records of Shivashankarappa, it’s mentioned as Hindu Lingayat. He will lose his respect if I speak openly. It is better if he stops his allegation now. I don’t care anybody. Anything could happen if I continue tirade against him”, Patil said.
Muslim population was more in his constituency and this time, the Congress has got majority Muslim votes in that constituency. Even in the forthcoming elections, the Muslims would vote for Congress.
The alliance of BSP and SP in Uttar Pradesh and Congress-JDS alliance in Karnataka has created fear in Prime Minister Narendra Modi due to which, he was speaking against the coalition government in the state, he said.
“There are people to fight for Lingayat religion and they will continue their fight. I will not have my influence on Lingayat religion. But Lingayat religion is our identity”, he clarified on a question.
“Police constables are the backbones of the police department. The Cabinet will take a decision to implement the recommendations of Auradkar Committee on improving the living conditions of the constables. The state government has sought help from ISRO and the Maharashtra government to trace the missing fishermen. I will meet the Home Minister of Maharashtra and discuss the issue”, he said.
Why Mallikarjun defeated?
‘Shamanur said that Vinay Kulkarni and Sharan Prakash Patil have lost the assembly elections as they have participated in Lingayat religion movement. Then, why his son Mallikarjun was defeated in the election? Where was his Veerashaiva force during election?’

Snake venom case: SC quashes FIR, proceedings against YouTuber Elvish Yadav
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Thursday quashed an FIR and subsequent proceedings against YouTuber Elvish Yadav under the Wildlife (Protection) Act in the snake venom case registered by Uttar Pradesh Police in 2023.
A bench of Justices M M Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh said the case cannot be sustained in law as the complaint under the Wildlife (Protection) Act was not filed by an authorised person.
It said that offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) invoked in the FIR against Yadav were based on an earlier FIR registered in Gurugram, in which a closure report has been filed.
Referring to the provisions of the Narcotics and Psychotropic Substance Act (NDPS) Act invoked in the FIR against Yadav, the bench said these cannot be invoked as the liquid substance (anti-venom) recovered from the co-accused was not a prescribed substance under the schedule.

It referred to the earlier decisions of the court and said that the case against Yadav cannot be sustained in law, quashing the FIR and subsequent proceedings, including filing of the chargesheet and cognisance order of the trial court.
The case against Yadav was registered on November 22, 2023, and he was arrested on March 17, 2024, for the alleged use of snake venom at a rave party in Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
The controversial YouTuber challenged an Allahabad High Court order refusing to quash the chargesheet and the cognisance order of the trial court, terming it a serious offence.
On August 6 last year, the apex court stayed proceedings in the trial court against Yadav in the case.
The chargesheet alleged the consumption of snake venom as a recreational drug at "rave" parties by people, including foreigners.
Yadav's counsel had argued in the high court that no snakes, narcotics or psychotropic substances were recovered from him and no causal link was established between the applicant and the co-accused.
Though the informant was no longer an animal welfare officer, he filed the FIR showing himself to be one, the counsel had added.
Calling Yadav a "well-known influencer" and someone who appears in multiple reality shows on television, the counsel had said his involvement in the FIR garnered "much media attention".
