After becoming DyCM he has forgotten Congress; ashamed to call him president: MLC hits out at Param

Bengaluru, Jun 6: C M Lingappa, Congress leader from Ramanagaram and MLC has hit out at Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president G. Parameshwara for extending the party’s support to the Janata Dal (Secular) candidate in the Assembly byelections in Ramanagaram constituency. He said such a move would ruin the Congress’ growth in the State.

“We are ashamed to say that he is our State Congress president. After becoming the Deputy Chief Minister, he has forgotten Congress leaders and workers. All these attempts will lead to the selling out of the party and its workers,” Mr. Lingappa said.

In the recently concluded Assembly elections, the JD(S)’s H.D. Kumaraswamy won from both Ramanagaram and Channapatna constituencies, and he chose to vacate the Ramanagaram seat. The Election Commission is soon expected to announce bypolls to Ramanagaram segment.

Addressing mediapersons, Mr. Lingappa, former MLA, said the KPCC chief did not even have the courtesy to discuss the issue with the District Congress Committee office-bearers. “Mr. Parameshwara, who has become the Deputy CM, has no ambition of becoming CM in the Congress government,” he alleged.

A few days ago, Mr. Lingappa, a close associate of senior Congress leader D.K. Shivakumar and his brother, made a sensational allegation against BJP national president Amit Shah. He said that when Mr. Shivakumar had taken the lead in keeping Gujarat Congress MLAs together at a resort in Bidadi in August 2017, Mr. Shah had called and asked him to send four Congress MLAs to the BJP camp. Later, income tax officials raided the resort.

Karwar: The number of Covid-19 patients in Uttara Kannada district has gone up to 39 with seven more persons from Bhatkal testing positive for the virus on Sunday.

These seven persons include five men and two women. Among them, the youngest is 15 years and the eldest is 60 years. Rest of the patients are 50, 21, 16, 42, and 31 years old, a health bulletin said. All the new seven cases are contacts of the eight persons who were found positive on Saturday.

Of the new cases, one is an auto-rickshaw driver who had reportedly transported one of the patients. Now the administration is collecting the details of the driver’s journeys and the persons who had travelled in his auto-rickshaw. It is said that some of these persons who were confirmed positive on Sunday had travelled to Udupi and moved around in Bhatkal town to buy medicine.

The pressure on the administration is increasing with new positive cases being detected in Bhatkal town every day. After the first 11 cases, there were no new cases for 20 days. However, since Friday, there is sudden spike in the number of new cases in Bhatkal town.
