Mangaluru, Jun 1: Rubbishing the reports of chief minister Siddaramaiah warning him over the candidature of his billionaire brother BM Farooq in the Rajya Sabha elections on Janata Dal(Secular) ticket, Mangaluru North MLA BA Mohiuddin Bava said that the CM's remarks were exaggerated by the media.

1bavaSpeaking to media persons here on Wednesday, termed the media reports that Siddaramiah lashed out at him during the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting held in Bengaluru recently as mere figment of imagination.

Mr Bava, however, admitted that being a senior Congress leader, Mr Siddaramaiah asked him to convince Mr. Farooq to withdraw his nomination.

"I had informed the CM about Farook's decision to contest the RS polls. The CM apparently did not take the information then seriously. At that time, the Congress had also not decided on its candidates," he said.

The MLA asserted that his ties with his younger brother are personal and never financial, political or business-related.

He said Mr. Farooq had neither been in politics nor was he a member of any political party. However, he has been friends with the former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy for many years. Mr. Farooq is free to pursue his political interests, Mr. Bava said.

At the same time, he would remain a staunch Congressman and would vote for the official candidate of the party in the Rajya Sabha elections, Mr. Bava clarified.

Bengaluru, Feb 11: Onion price dropped to Rs 25-30 per kg on Monday, down from the dizzying Rs 200/kg in December and January. The price had spiked because of excess rain, which ruined the crop in several parts of the country.

With supply stabilising, especially from Maharashtra and northern Karnataka, and exports banned, the rate is now easing, officials said.

Consumers may be smiling but farmers are worried as they are not able to make more than Rs 17/kg as against the expected Rs 40.

"We get onions from Nasik and Sholapur in Maharashtra. Nasik onions used to be exported but since that is currently banned, they are landing in Bengaluru, leaving the market here with a surplus," said K Lokesh, president, Karnataka State Onion Merchants Association.

A farmer from Sholapur wh o was part of a onion growers' delegation which met traders in Bengaluru, said, "The cost of everything has gone up. Labour charges and fuel prices are draining us. How can we survive? How can I pay for my children's education?"

Another Sholapur farmer rued: "My daughter's wedding is in March. How am I going to meet all the expenses? I have to pay for labour, transportation, gunny bags and when everything adds up, I don't get to save more than Rs 30,000 in a month."
