Haveri: “Since Siddaramaiah has nothing to speak against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he is creating political fear under the claim that Bharatiya Janata Party is scheming to change the constitution,” said former Karnataka Chief Minister and BJP candidate from Haveri-Gadag parliamentary constituency Basvaraj Bommai lambasting at Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

Speaking to press persons ahead of his election campaigning in Savanur on Saturday, he said, “Siddaramaiah has nothing to say against PM Modi. He made the same remarks previously too. Nobody can change the constitution, there is a law for everything. The Supreme Court has also stated that it is not possible to change the constitution. Siddaramaiah is only making these remarks to create a political fear.”

In response to CM Siddaramaiah’s prediction that the BJP won't secure 400 seats, Bommai retorted, “A stone has fallen into the Congress’ plate. They are talking about others when they are only contesting for 230 seats. But, our party will cross 370 seats.”

Paris, Sep 7: India's Navdeep Singh's silver medal was upgraded to gold after Iran's Beit Sayah Sadegh was disqualified following a dramatic men's javelin throw F41 final at the Paris Paralympics on Saturday.

This is India's first-ever gold medal in the men's javelin F41 category.

Starting the competition with a foul, the 23-year-old para-athlete from Haryana, who had finished fourth at the Tokyo Games three years ago, came up with a throw of 46.39 metres in his second attempt, propelling him to the second place. But it was his third throw that electrified the stadium.

With a monstrous throw of 47.32 metres, Navdeep shattered the Paralympic record and surged into lead, only for Sadegh to better the Indian's mark and clinch the gold with a record-breaking effort of 47.64 metres in his fifth attempt.

However, the Iranian was disqualified some time after the end of the final, leading to the Indian athlete taking the top spot.

The F41 category is for athletes, who are of short stature.
