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.

New Delhi: BJP leader Yogish Gowda, who was a member of the Dharwad Zilla Panchayath in Karnataka, was killed because of "political reasons", the CBI has alleged in its charge sheet filed against eight accused before a Dharwad court, officials said on Thursday.

Mr Gowda was killed on June 15, 2016 in front of a gym in Dharwad.

The charge sheet was filed before the Judicial Magistrate First Class Court in Dharwad against Santosh Savadatti, Dinesh M, Sunil KS, Harshith, Aswath S, Nazeer Ahamad, Shanawaz and Nutan K. All but one are in judicial custody.

"The accused allegedly came to Dharwad on two occasions in June 2016 and with the support of the other accused, allegedly planned the murder of Yogish Gowda. These accused fled after the crime," CBI spokesperson RK Gaur said.

The agency has alleged that the killing had "political reasons" behind it and was a result of political rivalry, the officials said.

The agency had taken over the case on September 24, 2019, nearly three years after the murder, on the request of the BJP government in Karnataka and a referral from the centre.

The case was earlier probed by the Karnataka Police which had charged six people for allegedly planning and executing the killing.

The CBI has arrested eight accused in the case of which seven are in judicial custody, they said.

"Further investigation into the role of the other accused and larger conspiracy in this case is continuing on a day-to-day basis," Mr Gaur said.
