Chikmagalur, March 9: Former Prime Minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda has said that his party would show its strength in Udupi-Chikmagalur bypolls

Speaking at the JD(S) convention in the city he called upon the party workers to take up the impending poll as a challenge to save the party.

“The Congress party workers have questioned where is JD(S) in the state? JD(S) is in the minds of the people. It shall show its power in the elections,” he said.

In 2008 elections, JD(S) won three MP seats and Congress won six. It is irrelevant to discuss how Congress won the elections. Every one knows under whose shade it won the elections, he said.

Due to the BJP operation eight by polls have already been conducted. JD(S) has won three elections. Congress has not even won one.

Now the questioners should themselves answer where is their party in the state, he mocked.

Party State Wing Working President P G R Sindhya said that that Congress is shaken by the competition JD(S) is giving them in the by polls. Hence they are trying to defame the party.

The State government has failed to provide drinking water, good roads, he said explaining how the BJP government has failed.

MLA N Chelluvarayaswamy said that this election will decide the fate of any party. The Uttar Pradesh election results have proved that the National parties are not eligible to rule the nation, he said.

In case the JD(S) government comes to power in the state then it can solve the Bababudangiri issue peacefully, said former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy.

Campaigning for JD(S) candidate S L Bhojegowda at Joladhala village, he said that Congress uses Muslims only for the election purpose, hence they should not be elected by the people.Some Muslims in BJP are playing with the emotions of the people only with political instigations. The state government has not done much for the minorities, complianed Kumaraswamy.

He also requested the people to vote for JD(S) keeping the developmental works in mind that took place when he was the Chief Minister.

Madikeri, Feb 23: Back-to-back floods and landslides in the last two years, has led to a fall in the number of tourists coming to the coffee-growing region of Kodagu, forcing the district administration to intervene and take confidence-building measures, telling tourists that Kodagu was safe to visit.

According to the statistics of the Karnataka State Tourism Department, Kodagu recorded a moderately good number of tourists in 2018 and 2019, the years that the district witnessed devastating floods and landslides.

The Department’s statistics reveal that 17 lakh tourists visited Kodagu in 2018 and 18 lakh in 2019. This means the flood-ravaged years did attract tourists contrary to what the stakeholders had claimed.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: Karnataka Forest Minister Anand Singh on Wednesday said that there was no criminal case filed directly against him.

When asked about PIL filed in the Karnataka High Court against him, Singh told media: "Some lawyer has filed a PIL against me in the High Court. I cannot stop anyone from filing the PIL."

"I have given my criminal record. There is no criminal case directly filed against me. My name is there in some cases but in 'others category'. We will see what happens," he said.

When asked about Congress leader Siddaramaiah's comments criticising him for being given the forest portfolio, Singh said: "I cannot comment on what he said against me as he is a former chief minister and very senior leader."

"Also the opposition always tries to make allegations against me. That is why he criticised me," he said.

Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah on Monday demanded that Forest Minister Anand Singh should either be expelled from the ministry or assigned a different portfolio.

A number of cases are pending against Singh including those registered under the Karnataka Forest Act.
