Bengaluru, Jan 10: After much heartburn between coalition partners Janata Dal (S) and Congress in Karnataka, Chief minister H D Kumaraswamy has cleared names of three Congress MLAs, for nominations to state-owned Boards and Corporations on Wednesday.

According to official sources, two-time MLA, S T Somashekhar has been nominated as Chairperson to the high-profile Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA), four-time legislator, N A Harris as the chairperson of the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), Mr Subba Reddy will head the Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation.

In a letter to Chief Secretary Vijayabhaskar, Chief minister had directed to issue order to nominate three Congress MLAs, immediately.

Some of the Congress MLAs, recommended by the KPCC, to head Boards and Corporations, had petitioned the AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal, against the Chief minister for withholding the appointment, even after weeks after receiving directions from the KPCC president that had led to a virtual tiff between the two coalition partners.

Speaking to newsmen on Wednesday Mr Kumaraswamy however denied that there were serious differences between the two coalition partners and said, “It would be sorted out soon”.

Mangaluru, Jan 31: Mahesh Vikram Hegde, the co-founder of website 'Postcard News', known for spreading fake news on behalf of Sangh Parivar, was taken aback when he was asked to sing 'Vande Mataram' to prove his patriotism by a group of women activists at Mangaluru International Airport.

The video of the incident which occurred on Friday, days after editor-in-chief and co-founder of Republic TV Arnab Goswami was heckled by comedian Kunal Kamra on a flight, went viral on social media within hours.

Hegde was spotted by social activist Kavitha Reddy, and other young orators – Najma Nazeer and Amulya Leona – at the airport where he was waiting to board a plane to Bengaluru.

In a video, the three women are seen coercing Hegde to sing 'Vande Mataram' and prove his patriotism. In another video being circulated, the women are heard telling the journalist that he is getting an opportunity to become a 'hero' from 'zero' if he sings 'Vande Mataram.' However, he refused to open his mouth.

Reddy is seen asking Hegde whether he knew the time when Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi.

Hegde was arrested in 2018 for posting a fake news aimed at creating communal conflict.
