Mangaluru, May 20: After the chief minister B S Yeddyurappa opted for self-abortion of his government on Saturday paving way for the formation of JD(S)-Congress coalition government in the state, the workers of two parties in this coastal city raised slogans hailing each others’ leaders.

Soon after Yeddyurappa tendered his resignation without facing a floor test in the assembly, a group of JD(S) in front of the party office at Bendoorwell in the city distributed sweets and raised victory slogans. Interestingly, one among the workers shouted ‘Sonia Gandhi ki Jai’.

Speaking on the occasion JD(S) leader Vasanth Poojary said that the two parties have foiled all the unethical bid of BJP to purchase MLAs ahead of trust vote. He expressed hope that the coalition government led by H D Kumaraswamy would restore communal harmony in the coastal districts of Karnataka.

On the other hand, the workers of Congress party led by former MLA J R Lobo celebrated victory in front of the District Congress Committee office in the city.

While raising slogans hailing Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Siddaramaiah, D K Shivakumar and others, they included the name of chief minister designate H D Kumaraswamy too. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Lobo accused the BJP of misusing all powers attempting for horse trading in Karnataka.

Meanwhile, the Communist Party of India (CPI), which extended its support to the coalition government, said that the two parties should bury their minor differences for the national cause.

Mangaluru, Mar 30: In continuing cases of tipplers in the southern states ending their lives due to non-availability of liquor during the lockdown, two men committed suicide in Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district.

The two suicides were reported in Kadaba taluk on Saturday, police said.

Tomy Thomas (50), a rubber tapping labourer in an estate at Kutrupadi village of the taluk, was found hanging at his rented house on Saturday. Thomas, a native of Kottayam in Kerala, had joined at the estate here a month ago.

Local people said he was desperately moving around in the last few days asking about places where he can get liquor. He had also not reported to work in these days. The body has been kept at the mortuary of a hospital at Deralakatte.

In another incident, a 70-year old man, belonging to Kodimbala village in the taluk, allegedly hanged himself from the branch of a tree near his house at Nakur.

The deceased has been identified as Thomas, who had left his family here 30 years ago and had been working in Kerala. He had returned here only a few years back.

Sources said Thomas, an alcohol addict, was having health problems related to withdrawal. He has been living on pavements at Kadaba without going home.

Kadaba police has registered cases in connection with the two incidents.

Incidents of tipplers committing suicide have been reported in Kerala and Telangana in the past few days. Two men ended their lives in Kerala today while a 50-year old daily wage worker jumped to death from a building in Hyderabad on Friday.
