Padmanabha Prasannakumar, the founder of Karnataka Janata Party (KJP), which was formally launched by former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa during his year-long fight with BJP, has claimed that there is a threat to his life from Udupi-Chikkamagaluru BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje.

Addressing media persons in Bagalkot on Saturday, Padmanabha Prasannakumar said, Shobha Karandlaje had threatened him of dire consequences if he dares to release the CD of her marriage with Yeddyurappa in a secret ceremony at a Kerala temple.

“I am fearing for my life. I had submitted written requests to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the then Home minister G Parameshwara seeking police protection. But nothing came out of it. I have lodged a complaint against Shobha Karandlaje at Vidhana Soudha police station alleging threat to my life from Shobha Karandlaje," teary-eyed Padmanabha said.

"Shobha Karandlaje and Yeddyurappa got married at Bhagavati Temple in Kerala. I have a CD of the marriage. If Chief Minister Siddaramaiah provides me the security, I will release the CD," KJP founder said.

He accused Shobha of misleading Yeddyurappa. "Had Yeddyurappa stayed in the KJP, the party would have come to power this time. Shobha made him leave the party. She will destroy Yeddyurappa's political career."

Replying to a query, Padmanabha Prasannakumar said that he would contest from Shikaripura and Teradal constituencies in the coming Assembly polls. and that the KJP would field candidates in all 224 constituencies.

Getting married is no problem. The worry is when two public figures who intend to gain high public office keep the marriage a secret. Bhakths will never understand these things.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.

Gadag, May 9: It is the month of April, and the season of mangoes is very much here. However, the mango farmers of Gadag are suffering huge losses amid the coronavirus lockdown due to the absence of transportation facilities along with several other issues that have been impacting their business adversely.

Speaking to media persons, Vishwanath Odugowdar, a mango farmer said, "Due to transportation problems we are not being able to export mangoes to different countries. We are trying to sell them in nearby markets."

"We are not in a situation to pack, transport and export the mangoes to different countries as we did earlier especially 
when it comes to Alphonso mangoes which is one of the most loved varieties. So, we are packing mangoes at our place. Somehow this year we have got very good quality of mangoes," he added.

Farmers here are incurring huge losses as mandis and markets across the country are shut while the transport of Alphonso mangoes has also come to a halt owing to the lockdown.

The small and medium scale farmers in places like Gadag, Dharwad, Bagalkote in north Karnataka have started packing the mangoes themselves in their farms in a bid to sell the fruit themselves.
