Hubballi: BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa is playing politics on the blood of the country's soldiers. He is using the military operations for his own benefit, alleged KPCC president Dinesh Gundurao.

Addressing media representatives in the City on Thursday, he said that he had never seen such low-level politics in the country's history.

"Soldiers are sacrificing their blood for the protection of the country. An Air Force Wing Commander is in the custody of Pakistan. But, Yeddyurappa is stating that BJP would win 22 seats in the state as a result of the military operation. He (Yeddyurappa), who is doing political business on the blood of soldiers, must withdraw his statement. He must seek a public apology," he urged.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, AICC President Rahul Gandhi are all patriots. BJP leaders, activists, should stop criticizing others, and stop saying 'go to Pakistan'. Those fighting on the country's border are soldiers and not the RSS workers," he said.

Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.

The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).

"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.

The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.

The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.

Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.

They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.

Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
