Kalaburagi, Jan 11: KPCC President Dr G Parameshwara said that BJP National President Amit Shah's assurance to party workers saying 'Do what I say and I will bring you victory', had given raise to suspicion.

Speaking to reporters in Kalaburagi on Thursday, state Congress chief alleged that BJP had plotted to misuse electronic voting machines (EVMs) and to win the election.

"We will appeal to the State Election Commission not to use EVMs in the upcoming polls," Parameshwara added.

Mahadayi dispute

On questions regarding the Mahadayi river water sharing dispute, Parameshwara said that Karnataka was waiting for Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to write to his counterpart Siddaramaiah.

"Post which, we will bear upon the Goa Congress not to oppose the sharing of the river water," he added. He criticised Parrikar for doing a flip-flop on the issue.

The Goa government, which was inclined to share water, did a complete reversal recently stating that it would contest the issue before the Mahadayi River Water Sharing Tribunal.

I dont know, you told "found" by mistake or intentionally. Anyway that makes sense. If 'found' or 'caught red handed' was few and you people did more than that.

The headlines above shows that Congress knows its fate already. Losers need a reason. Go and ask Punjab CM Captain Amrinder Singh, he will tell whether the EVM's can be manipulated or not.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa thanked his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan for initiating action against those dumping bio-medical and bio-wastes in Karnataka's districts from neighboring state Kerala.

In a statement, he said, "First I would like to thank Kerala Chief Minister Pinnarayi Vijayan for his prompt reaction and response to initiate legal action against the dumpers of bio-medical and bio-waste in our districts neighboring Kerala."

The Karnataka Chief Minister has taken a serious note of the reports in a section of media on alleged dumping of bio-medical waste and bio-waste by people from Kerala in bordering Mysuru, Kodagu and Chamarajnagar districts.

"I have directed deputy commissioners of concerned districts, environment department, and pollution control board to take stock of the situation and check surreptitious activities of individuals and agencies from Kerala who are indulging in this illegal activity. I have also directed the officials to prevent the use of this bio-medical waste by Jaggery units as fuel," Yediyurappa said.

He assured that soon this activity will be checked and ended.

Mangaluru, Feb 13: After pro-Kannada outfits called for a state-wide bandh today, the police are on high-alert to avoid any untoward incidents.

The dawn to dusk bandh was called demanding implementation of Sarojini Mahishi report which recommended certain percentage of jobs to Kannadigas in private & public sector companies.

There is no official holiday declared for schools and colleges. Besides, all government institutions and private establishments are open.

But, in some parts of Karnataka, autorickshaws and taxis, including Ola and Uber stayed off the roads.

Even though the bandh is unlikely to hit normal life in coastal Karnataka, stones were pelted on a Tirupati-Mangaluru bus in Farangipet.
