N A Haris confident of making a hat-trick, says his constituency is mini-India

Bengaluru, Apr 25: Congress this time had delayed in issuing B Form to Shantinagar MLA N A Haris apparently due to his son’s recent pub brawl in Bengaluru. However, the billionaire Congress leader is confident of registering third consecutive victory in the prestigious constituency.

 "I am confident of winning May 12 Karnataka assembly polls from Shantinagar and making a hat-trick," Mr Haris, who filed his nomination papers yesterday told media persons. Haris was accompanied by around 5,000 people when he went to the office of the Returning Officer to file nominations, after visiting temples, a church and a madarsa.

Haris’ 25-year-old son Mohammed Nalapad and associates had allegedly assaulted a youth in a city pub and are in judicial custody. Fearing that the incident may have an impact on the party during the elections, the Congress had withheld his name for some time. His name was announced in the second list that was released on Sunday evening.

"Shantinagar is like mini-India. I will work to develop the constituency as one of the most important business hubs in Bengaluru. In the last five years, we have got grants worth several crores. Many projects have been completed in Shantinagar and many more have been taken up," he said.

"I am thankful to the Congress leaders, who stood by me during difficult times," Haris said without mentioning the incident involving his son. After his son was held for assaulting a youth, some intellectuals had urged the party not to give a ticket to him. However, considering winnability as a factor, Congress is said to have decided to give him the party ticket.

Mangaluru, May 19: Officials at the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) said that Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada along with Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru have been alerted about possible heavy rains.

Dr GS Srinivasa Reddy, Director, KSNDMC, said, “Coastal districts have already been witnessing heavy downpour since Monday morning. This will continue for another two days depending on the cyclonic movement along the east coast.”

Until last evening, Haleyangadi and Surathkal in Dakshina Kannada district had received 83 mm and 82.5 mm of rainfall, respectively. Several other areas in Udupi also witnessed heavy rainfall of about 60 to 70 mm rainfall.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed the rain, which intensified on Monday, to a cyclonic circulation over parts of the Arabian Sea (Comorin area) off the coast of Kerala.

The weather department said the sudden convergence of wind over the peninsular region was due to Super Cyclone Amphan, which is set to barrel into the east coast. The IMD issued an Yellow Alert for coastal Karnataka and Malnad, warning of moderate to heavy rainfall in the next few days.
