Hubballi: BSY is telling that the alliance government will be toppled after the Lok Sabha polls and he will become chief minister. Should BSY, who did not work when he was in power, become CM to go to jail again?" the former chief minister Siddaramaiah questioned.

Speaking at an election rally to seek votes in favour of the alliance candidate Kusuma Shivalli in Aralikatti in Kundagol here on Tuesday, Siddaramaiah said "BSY, who resigned within three days of taking charge due to lack of majority, is dreaming to reach to the 3rd floor of the Legislative Assembly." He would not become CM for any reason, Siddaramaiah added.

When farmers urged for loan waiver during BSY's term, Yeddyurappa had said " I do not have note printing machine." However, a note counting machine was recovered from Eshwarappa's home when officials conducted a raid, Siddaramaiah added.

Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.

The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.

The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.

On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.

Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.

It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.

He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.

According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
