Shobha Karandlaje Alleges Conspiracy by ‘own people’ to Deny Her Ticket
Belagavi: Union Minister and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has raised allegations of a conspiracy within the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency to prevent her from receiving a ticket in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing reporters in Belagavi, she stated, "Opposition within the party is actually an advantage for me. When there is opposition, our leaders spread information about us. Otherwise they only used to say that Shoba is doing good work for the party."
Karandlaje further added that party leaders are providing information about why they are opposing her, which she believes will only help highlight her development works and true personality. She expressed confidence in the High Command's decision-making process and remains hopeful of receiving the ticket based on her track record of work.
"I have undertaken significant development work in my constituency and will seek votes based on these achievements," she said.
I have the satisfaction of doing both party work and government work honestly. Those who have worked will get a chance. This applies to all. In some cases it may be different due to the caste factor, Shoba said.
She further said that “I am an example that the high command recognizes our hard work.”
Responding to speculation that several sitting BJP MPs might not receive tickets for the Lok Sabha elections, Karandlaje stated that she had no specific information about this. She said that it is natural for many party workers to seek tickets, and those who have worked tirelessly for the party over the years have the right to do so.

UP: Govt hospital staff booked for sexually assaulting woman in pretext of ultrasound test
Gorakhpur (PTI): A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women's hospital, police said on Saturday.
According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women's hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
