Bengaluru, Feb 24: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Congress State president G Parameshwara on Tuesday received a jolt with the ruling party putting up a poor show in their respective home districts – Mysuru and Tumakuru.

siddaCongress candidate from Varuna zilla panchayat seat in Mysuru, Chandramma, was defeated by the BJP's H R Prema. Siddaramaiah represents the Varuna Assembly constituency in the Legislative Assembly.

This is not all. The Congress failed to win a majority in the Mysuru zilla panchayat. Besides Siddaramaiah, two senior Cabinet Ministers V Srinivas Prasad and H C Maha¬devappa represent Mysuru district.

In Tumakuru, the Congress managed to win only one of the four seats in Koratagere taluk. Parameshwara, who is also the Home Minister, used to represent the Koratagere Assembly constituency. He failed to win from Koratagere in the 2013 Assembly elections. Like Mysuru, the ruling party failed to get a majority in the Tumakuru zilla panchayat.

The party has to forge an alliance with the JD(S) in order to hold the reins of power in both Mysuru and Tumakuru zilla panchayat.

Speaking to reporters, Parameshwara admitted that the Congress should have done better in Tumakuru.

Dear CM Siddaramayya.

This is high time for your strip the non functioning Ministers in your cabinet. Also one man one ministry to be followed.

I would appreciate if you strip V. Sorake from Ministry and revamp the organization in UdUpi that will help Congress party in the next Elections. You have to talk to Rahul Gandhi regarding stop Oscar Fernandes and his wife poking his nose in Udipi constituencies. These duos are responsible for the utter defeat in Udipi District and require a reprimand to these duos.

Bengaluru,  Mar 26: The nationwide lockdown in the view of coronavirus outbreak has driven some people to the edge. In Karnataka, within less than 24 hours, two cases of people creating trouble for police personnel have come to light.

On Wednesday, a middle-aged man was shot in his leg by the police after he tried to assault two police constables of Sanjaynagar police station. The police constables were identified as Manjunatha and Basavararaju.
The accused reportedly breached the check post at Bhoopasandra. He and his friends were over-speeding and performing stunts on bikes. When the policemen tried to secure them after giving them a chase, they attacked the cops.

When they were taken into custody, one of them again tried to escape and hurled stones and bricks on the cops. In order to prevent further assault, the police then fired two rounds – one in the air and the second one on his left leg.
