Will contest as rebel candidate: Belur Gopalakrishna
Bengaluru: “I have been denied the ticket by BJP only because of party’s state president BS Yeddyurappa. I did not join the KJP when Yeddyurappa had founded it, that’s the reason he has denied me the ticket. All surveys conducted in the Sagar constituency are in my favor. For five years I have developed the party in this constituency. But now, the ticket has been issued to a corrupt candidate,” claimed the former Sagar MLA Belur Gopalakrishna.
He said, “BJP will not make Yeddyurappa Chief Minister because the party has not fielded more number of Lingayats for the May 12 Assembly polls.”
“JD (s) has contacted and invited me to join the party. But I will not join any party. Rather I will fight against Hartala Halappa as a revolt candidate in the Sagar Constituency. My only aim is to defeat Halappa,” he added.

Rape accused's mother murdered by victim's brother in MP's Shivpuri
Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.
"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.
Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.
A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.
Police personnel have been deployed in the area in view of tension following the incident, the official added.
