Udupi, Jun 30: Anupama Shenoy, former Deputy Superintendent of Police of Kudligi sub-division in Karnataka's Ballari district, on Thursday said she was a victim of both the system and corrupt politics.anupama3006

Shenoy, who had written to the Karnataka State Commission for Women accusing a senior official of 'harassment' on duty, said, "I am a victim of both the system and corrupt politics."

She has accused Ballari Superintendent of Police R Chetan of harassing her because of political pressure.

In a letter dated June 4, addressed to the chairperson of the Karnataka State Commission for Women, Shenoy directly accused Chetan of harassing her while she was discharging her duties as Deputy Superintendent of Police.

Speaking to media, she said she was just trying to put forward her grievances. "If at all I get justice, it would be great," she said.

"The entire society, and the system, is male dominated. The system is acting to the tune of male ideas. Through this, I am hoping that the system may find some way so that any lady officer, if they are having any grievances, can find a solution," she added.

She also said that she decided to resign and carry this fight forward to express her views. "At least I have mental peace. Job did not provide me any mental peace," she said.

Manjula Mansa, Karnataka Women's Commission chief, said that they have received all the copies. "After preliminary enquiry, we have adjourned the case till July 16. 14 percent of individual statement is necessary, after that we will summon R Chetan," she said.

In her seven page letter to the commission, Shenoy also accused Chetan of causing 'mental torture' by issuing memos to her for 'silly reasons' on returning to Kudligi after her OOD (On Official Duty) was cancelled by the government, following public pressure.

She had tendered her resignation as the DSP on June 4 as, which was accepted by the state government.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.

Bengaluru, Jun 9: JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday filed his nomination as party's candidate for June 19 Rajya Sabha elections from Karnataka.

The former Prime Minister was accompanied by his sons former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and former Minister H D Revanna, state JD(S) chief H K Kumaraswamy and others, as he filed his papers at the office of Legislative Assembly Secretary M K Vishalakshi, who is the returning officer for the polls. JD(S) on Monday had announced that Gowda will be contesting the Rajya Sabha polls.

Announcing the decision, Kumaraswamy had said Gowda decided to contest following the request of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, several national leaders and party legislators, and it was not an easy task to "persuade" him to enter the Rajya Sabha.

The JD(S), which has 34 seats in the assembly, is not in a position to win a seat in Rajya Sabha on its own and will need support from the Congress with its surplus votes. A minimum of 45 votes are required for a candidate to win. If he wins, this will be the second Rajya Sabha entry for 87-year-old Gowda, the first time being in 1996 as the Prime Minister.

Gowda was defeated in Tumkur constituency by BJP's G S Basavaraj by over 13,000 votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. As joint candidate of the then ruling Congress-JDS coalition, Gowda had chosen to contest from Tumkur at the last minute after vacating Hassan-his home turf, to grandson Prajwal Revanna (a current MP).

Election is scheduled on June 19 to fill four Rajya Sabha seats from Karnataka, represented by Rajeev Gowda and BK Hariprasad of Congress, Prabhakar Kore of the BJP and D Kupendra Reddy of JD(S) that will fall vacant on June 25, with their retirement. Today is the last date for filing nominations. With BJP not fielding any candidate against Gowda, his election is likely to be unanimous.
