Siddaramaiah accuses NDTV of misquoting him in report, demands clarification, deletion of post
Bengaluru: Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah tweeted on Tuesday alleging that NDTV had provided false information on his statement on the chief ministerial candidate in a recent interview.
Siddaramaiah, who shared a screenshot of the NDTV report on his Twitter handle, said, “News article published by @ndtv (Adani TV), alleging that I had commented about Chief Minister candidate in Karnataka, is far from truth.”
He added that he had never made such comments and would never indulge in petty politics. He also demanded that NDTV issue a clarification and delete the post.
On Tuesday, NDTV reported that Siddaramaiah, in an exclusive interview with the channel, had said, “I am also an aspirant, DK Shivakumar is also an aspirant for the CM post.” The former chief minister added that the Congress High Command would not give the post to Shivakumar, who is president of Karnataka Congress.
AICC General Secretary for Karnataka Randeep Singh Surjewala also tweeted against the NDTV post, sharing the video of the interview and a screenshot of the report.
He tweeted, “As BJP crumbles in #Karnataka & BJP MLA’s & MLC’s resign everyday, BJP uses Mr. Adani’s NDTV to create fake fissures amongst Congress leaders.”
He added, “Time to stop the hatchet job & take care of BJP’s sinking ship. The #40PercentSarkara has to pay for its sins. Even TV can’t save it.”

I never made such comments and will never do such petty politics.
I urge @ndtv to issue clarification and pull down the baseless post. https://t.co/bgIV3QAxtl

Kozhikode (PTI): Three members of a family, including a girl, drowned in a river at Nadapuram in this district on Saturday, police said.
The tragic incident occurred when the family had gone to Puliyavu river near Nadapuram, to wash their clothes.
The deceased were identified as Ansar (43), his wife Suhada (39), and Isa Mariyam (8), daughter of Ansar's brother--all residents of Puliyavu here.
According to preliminary information, the child accidentally slipped into deep waters and Ansar and his wife attempted to rescue her.
But all three were also pulled in by the current and drowned.
The couple's children alerted the locals, who initiated rescue efforts.
Though they were pulled out of the water, their lives could not be saved, police said.
The bodies were shifted to the nearby state-run hospital and further procedures are underway, they added.
