Bengaluru, Oct 16: Struggling to forge unity among the bickering legislators in Ballari, Congress has finally fielded party MLC VS Ugrappa from Pavagada in Tumakuru district as its candidate to take on J Shantha of BJP in the Ballari Lok Sabha bypoll to be held on November 3.

The choice of Ugrappa, a loyalist of former CM Siddaramaiah, was announced on Monday after the party leadership failed to zero in on a suitable local candidate.

JDS has got two MP’s seat and one Assembly seat whether the Congress is settled with one Lok Sabha and an assembly seat. Anand Sidha Nyamagouda is the lone Congress candidate from Jamkhand assembly for upcoming Karnataka assembly by-polls. Anand is a son of former Congress MLA, Siddu Nyamagouda, who was killed in a road accident earlier this year on May 28.

On the other hand, Janata Dal-Secular has been given two Lok Sabha seats and an assembly seat to contest in upcoming state by-election.

Madhu Bangarappa from Shivamogga and LR Shivarame Gowda from Mandya seat are two Janata Dal-Secular contestants in the scheduled by polls and Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy’s wife Anitha Kumaraswamy is contesting from Ramanagara assembly seat.

Ugrappa means extremist. Shanta means peaceful. In other words it’s a battle between an extremist man and a peaceful woman. The choice if people’s.

Bengaluru, Jan 11: India’s second-biggest IT company, Infosys Ltd, said it found no evidence of financial misconduct by its executives following a investigation into whistleblower complaints.

Bengaluru-headquartered Infosys, which earlier on Friday raised its revenue forecasts due to upbeat demand from Western clients, said an audit committee report exonerated Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh and Chief Financial Officer Nilanjan Roy of all allegations, including accusations that the duo prevented employees from presenting data on large deals.

“I’m very happy that CEO Salil Parekh and CFO Nilanjan Roy have emerged from this stronger,” Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani told reporters. “The last two years since Salil has been here the company has changed dramatically for the better.”

Parekh took over as Infosys CEO in January 2018, after his predecessor Vishal Sikka quit following a public row with the company’s founder executives amid whistleblower allegations of wrongdoing.

The company earlier said it expected revenue to grow between 10 per cent and 10.5 per cent on a constant currency basis in the year ending March 2020, compared with its previous forecast of between 9 per cent and 10 per cent.

“We continue to see momentum in the market and we have an extremely robust pipeline driven by segment leaders,” CEO Parekh told a news conference.

“With the strength of large deal wins and digital momentum, we were able to clearly see that we have support to raise our guidance.”
