CBI ready to raid DK Shivakumar, 10 other Congress MLAs?

Bengaluru, May 31: Armed with a search warrant the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) might raid the houses of friends and relatives of Congress leader DK Shivakumar in connection with the demonetised currency notes case, agency sources said.

Meanwhile, Shivakumar on Thursday held an emergency press conference at his Bengaluru residence and said that the BJP is indulging in vendetta politics. He said that the CBI is going to raid 11 Congress MLAs including him.

“There is no question of bowing under any pressure. These politically motivated raids and the warrants have come from agencies that come under BJP's control,” he alleged.

Stating that this will not stop them from doing our party work, "We will always abide by the law of the land."

Shivakumar was as a key figure in keeping the party MLAs together before the trust vote of BJP's Yeddyurappa government.

The development comes amid hectic parleys between both Congress and JD(S) on cabinet expansion and portfolio allocation since Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy proved majority on the floor of the assembly on May 25, two days after his swearing-in on May 23.

According to report, the two parties have not been able to arrive at a consensus on the allocation of key portfolios, most importantly Finance, which both Congress and JD(S) want in their kitty.

However, to a question about reports that he was demanding power portfolio, Shivakumar termed it "false news." Refuting reports about a tussle between him and JD(S)' HD Revanna, son of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda, for the power ministry, he said, "no such demands or discussions, our party and that party (JDS) leaders will sit together and decide."

Mysuru, Jan 28: The Second Additional District and Sessions Court on Monday granted anticipatory bail to B Nalini, who displayed the ‘Free Kashmir’ placard during a protest, and also to Maridevaiah, the organiser of the protest.

Nalini and Maridevaiah had applied for bail as Jayalakshmipuram police had booked them under sedition charges. Nalini had displayed the placard during a protest at Manasagangotri, the University of Mysore campus, recently. The court, which took up the case on January 24, had kept the order pending.

The court directed the accused to submit their passport to the court and a bond for a sum of Rs 50,000. The court also directed them to be present before the police, whenever needed.

Meanwhile, the Mysuru Bar Association has decided to take measures against the association members who are in favour of Nalini. Seventy-five members, seeking to represent Nalini, have withdrawn their support, the association secretary B Shivanna said. The association has suspended advocates Manjula Manasa and P P Baburaj.
