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.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: The Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the murder case of journalist-activist Gauri, arrested absconding suspect Rushikesh Devdikar alias Murali (44) from Dhanbad district in Jharkhand on Thursday evening and is bringing him to the city.

Rushikesh is the 18th suspect arrested in the case, Chief Investigating Officer M N Anucheth said. The investigation has revealed that he was primarily involved in the conspiracy to murder Gauri.

Rushikesh, who was hiding in a house in Katras, Dhanbad, will be produced before the local Judicial Magistrate in Dhanbad on Friday, said Anucheth, adding that the SIT had searched his house for clues. "We will obtain a transit warrant from the court and then bring him to Bengaluru," the officer said.

Originally from Aurangabad in Maharashtra, Rushikesh's family still lives there.

Gauri Lankesh was shot dead near her residence at around 8.20 pm on September 5, 2017, by two bike-borne men.

Kasaragod, Apr 17: Even as this district continue to remain in the high-alert red zone category of Covid-19, Kasaragod has slowly but steadily been limping back to restraint level of the pandemic from a possible slipping into a stage-3 of community spread early this month.

Thanks to the stringent and committed measures implemented by the district administration crisscross the district besides total isolation of few localities by enforcing triple lockdown.

The district had been a Covid-19 hotspot ever since an NRI who returned from the Gulf violated quarantine protocol and travelled wide and far by meeting and contacting with several people including two MLAs of the district. That apart the irresponsible attitude of the people who broke the rules of quarantine and lockdown norms also made things go from bad to worse resulting in contributing for a near-half of the total positive cases in the state at the beginning of April.
