Hassan, Apr 4: H D Kumaraswamy, Karnataka state unit president of Janata Dal (Secular), who had once formed government with Bharatiya Janata Party in the state, has urged the people to make him chief minister once again so that he can dedicate the victory to his father and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda!

Speaking to media persons here yesterday Kumaraswamy said: “I am blamed for spoiling the political future of my father. At least, for this reason, I have to become chief minister and dedicate the victory of the party to him."

He immediately added: "The Congress and the BJP have been criticising the JD(S) as the father-son party. What are the BJP and the Congress up to now? While Siddaramaiah is fielding his son Dr Yathindra, B S Yeddyurappa's son Vijayendra is being fielded from Varuna. What is their contribution to Varuna constituency?"

Continuing tirade against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah he said,  it will not be a surprise if the Congress gets only 25 seats in the upcoming Assembly elections.

"Siddaramaiah is diverting the people by issuing statements that the JD(S) will not get even 25 seats. According to the recent political developments, it will not be a surprise if the Congress itself gets only 25 seats," he said.

"The tactics of any political 'chanakya' will not work in the elections in Karnataka. The party's target is to win 113 seats and we will achieve it," Kumaraswamy said.

Commenting on Chamundeshwari constituency, Kumaraswamy said that it is very difficult for Siddaramaiah to win the elections. "He had won by a threadbare margin of 257 votes when he contested the polls from the constituency in the 2006 by-polls. Though we had won the polls, technically we had failed. This time, we have taken enough steps to ensure that such mistakes do not recur," he said.

Mangaluru, June 10: Former minister and Mangaluru MLA U T Khader has hit out at the Karnataka government for what he opined that it is misusing the Epidemic Diseases Act to target opposition parties. 

The statement comes in the backdrop of state government’s move to scuttle oath taking ceremony of KPCC president designate D K Shivakumar.

Asserting that the oath taking will be a grand affair, Mr Khader said that Congress will not be browbeaten by the tactics of the BJP.

Citing the blatant violation of all norms laid down under the Act by minister for health B R Sriramulu at Chitradurga earlier this month, Khader told reporters that the BJP is using the Act for its narrow political gains.

“KPCC has twice deferred swearing in ceremony of Shivakumar after being given the oral go ahead,” Khader claimed, adding the state government must explain to people the issue it has with the Congress organising this function.

Referring to the back-to-back virtual political rallies – one for Bihar and the other for Odisha – on Sunday and Monday that union home minister Amit Shah conducted, Khader wondered if the Act did not apply to the BJP leadership.

Kalaburagi, Feb 16: Fourteen years of life in jail has not deterred Subhash Patil from fulfilling his dream of becoming a doctor.

The 40-year-old man from Afzalpura in Karnataka's Kalaburagi was put behind bars in a murder case while doing MBBS in 1997.

Speaking to media, Patil said, "I joined MBBS in 1997. But, I was jailed in a murder case in 2002. I worked at the jail's OPD and was released in 2016 for good conduct. I completed my MBBS in 2019."

Earlier this month, Patil completed a one-year mandatory internship for getting the MBBS course degree.

Police arrested Patil in 2002 in a murder case when he was in his third year of MBBS course. A court sentenced him to life imprisonment in 2006.

He was put behind bars but he did not give up his childhood dream of becoming a doctor.

In 2016, police released Patil on Independence day for his good conduct.
