JDS will win 113 seats in Karnataka; my brother will be CM: Revanna

Shivamogga, Nov 3: JD(S) leader and Holenarsipur MLA H D Revanna has expressed confidence that his party would win at least 113 seats in 2018 Karnataka assembly polls and his younger brother H D Kumaraswamy would become chief minister again.

Speaking to media persons he said that the party has already finalised its candidates for 140 Assembly constituencies for the elections. The meeting of the core committee of JD(S) State unit will be held shortly after which the list of 140 candidates will be released, he said.

He said that as announced earlier, the party will face the elections by projecting its State unit president H.D. Kumaraswamy as the Chief Ministerial candidate. The party is confident that he will be the CM again, he said.

Mr. Revanna said the Congress and the BJP have failed to respond to the woes of farmers in Karnataka. Owing to depletion of groundwater level and diseases triggered by successive droughts, 1.83 crore arecanut trees and over 44 lakh coconut trees have completely dried up in the State in the past three years. The farmers are unable to cultivate agricultural crops owing to scanty rain and low water storage in reservoirs, he said.

The MLA said that the Union Ministers from Karnataka have failed to apprise Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the agricultural crisis here. He said if JD(S) comes to power in the State, the crop loan borrowed by farmers from nationalised as well as cooperative banks will be waived. Taking exception to BJP’s Karnataka Parivartan Yatra, he said such political gimmicks were uncalled for when farmers were in dire straits.

New Delhi, Jul 21: A 42-year-old contractual doctor, who was working with Delhi government's National Health Mission, passed away yesterday due to covid-19.

Dr Javed Ali had been on the frontline in the fight against the highly contagious illness since March. He tested positive for coronavirus on June 24 and was hospitalised for treatment over the next three weeks.

For the last 10 days, he was on a ventilator. Yesterday morning, Dr Ali breathed his last at the AIIMS trauma centre. He is survived by his wife and two children - a six-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter.

"I am proud of my husband. He kept working till the end and he is a martyr. He did not take even one day off since March. He worked even on Eid," Dr Heena Kausar, his wife, told media persons.

The cost for the initial treatment at the private hospital was also borne by the family. "No treatment cost was covered when he was at a private hospital initially. We spent around Rs 6 lakh from our own pockets," she said.
