The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday, April 16, announced the second list of 82 candidates who will contest the high stakes Karnataka assembly polls. It had released its first list of 72 candidates on April 8. Another list is awaited.

Karnataka goes to polls on May 12 to elect its representatives and results will be out on May 15. BJP, which is striving to return to power in Karnataka after a gap of five years, has announced Yeddyurappa as its chief ministerial candidate, with a target of winning 150 out of 224 assembly seats.

Yesterday, the BJP's central election committee, which comprises Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah, had met in the national capital to finalise the second list of party's candidates.

The Congress had announced its first list of 218 candidates on Sunday for the state assembly polls. Weeks ago Janata Dal Secular had announced candidates for 126 constituencies. The party is in alliance with Bahujan Samaj Party for Karnataka polls.

With polling day inching closer, Karnataka has turned into a political battleground with both the ruling Congress and the opposition BJP extensively campaigning across the state.

Here is BJP’s second list:

Tumkur, Jun 2: Karnataka Agriculture Minister BC Patil on Monday said that state will not be affected due to locust swarm as it has moved to other states.

"There will be no effect as locust insects diverted to other states after they came from Pakistan. We were also worried and were prepared to face it, luckily we will not be affected by insects," he said.

Locust is a type of grasshoppers and moves in large numbers and devastates crops. Several parts of Rajasthan including Ganganagar have reported locust attacks.

There is a prediction of another attack in June this year.

Dubai, May 5: Saudi Arabian prosecutors have ordered the arrest of a Saudi citizen for insulting an Asian expatriate and abusing him for not embracing Islam.

A video went viral online showing the expat, apparently with little knowledge of the Arabic language, being insulated by an Arabic-speaking man who does not appear in the clip, for having not embraced Islam and for not fasting.

A monitoring centre affiliated with the public prosecution examined the video the content of which “shows the citizen’s use of abusive words against the Asian resident on the pretext of inviting him to Islam,” the prosecution source said.

“The public prosecution closely follows up whatever infringes rights of citizens and residents including harm to their dignity and legal rights regardless of pretexts of such infringement,” the source added.
