Ugrappa retaliates to BJP leaders on ‘Outsider’ statement
Ballary Lok Sabha by-election
Ballary, October 16: Congress candidate from Ballary LS constituency V.S. Ugrappa said that the by-election would become a referendum to the national politics in future.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, Ugrappa said that “BJP leaders have been criticizing that I am outsider to Ballary. Why did BJP leaders left Ballary and contested from Molakalmuru constituency? Why did their family members contest from Raichur? What is the relationship between Molakalmuru, Badami and Sriramulu? A politician should not restrict to any single place. I will stay here and work for the development of the district”, he said.
“There are capable candidates in the district. In spite of it, as per the party decision, I am contesting from Ballary constituency. This election is a fight between Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Sriramulu, Congress and BJP, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi. In my 40 years political career, I have remained as honest. If I made mistakes, let the people ask me. I have the experience of working as the MLA for three times, MLC, Opposition Party leader”, he said.
“I have fought to include Valmiki community into ST category. In the last year, I have strived to install Maharshi Valmiki bust and Tapovana on the premises of the Vidhana Soudha. I have tried to set up Valmiki Study Centre at Hampi Kannada University”, he claimed.

Medical student dies at pvt hospital after allegedly denied admission in own institute
Patna, April 10 (PTI): A student of a government medical college here who was allegedly denied admission in his own health institute after a road accident died at a private hospital on Thursday, police said.
Abhinav Pandey, a second-year student of government-run Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Science (IGIMS) was injured when his motorcycle crashed into a road divider earlier this week. He was allegedly denied admission at the IGIMS for injuries he sustained in the road accident and had to be admitted to a private hospital.
Soon after the news of Abhinav's death spread, protests erupted at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences on Thursday.
A police officer who did not wish to be identified said, "We did visit the IGIMS premises to bring the situation under control. We can't comment much on the death of the student since no written complaint has been submitted in this regard."
However, the protesting students, who requested anonymity, said, "Our primary grouse is that Abhinav, whose bike crashed into a road divider earlier this week, was denied admission for his injuries at the IGIMS despite being a student. Left with no choice, we had to take him to a private hospital."
Bihar Health minister Mangal Pandey and authorities at the IGIMS could not be reached for comments despite repeated attempts.
However, the matter was flagged by Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar at a press conference in the city where he reached as part of the state-wide 'Stop Migration and Provide Jobs' padayatra.
"One can imagine the state of affairs in Bihar's Health department. A medical student died simply because he was denied admission in his own institute. The health system in Bihar has completely collapsed," Kanhaiya told reporters.
