Mangalore, October 29: Businessman Sadananda Shetty will contest Assembly elections from as the Janata Dal (Secular) candidate from the Mangalore South constituency, announced H D Kumaraswamy, Former Chief Minister and JD(S) State President, at a party convention held at Town Hall in Mangalore on Monday where Mr. Shetty was officially inducted into the JD(S).

Mr. Shetty was inducted into the party along with several others including Pascal Pinto, President, United Associations of Karnataka, Kuwait, on the occasion by Mr. Kumarswamy.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kumaraswamy said that minorities must not get carried away by the recent Mangalore visit of AICC chief Sonia Gandhi. “Minorities will not get protection from Congress. The Congress party itself is in a state of mess and Ms. Gandhi's advise to party leaders about putting aside differences suggests just that. The Congress speaks about BJP's failures and corruption but none of the Congress leaders made an attempt to bring out BJP's corruption. JD(S) has been acting as the real opposition party in the state”, he said.

The Former Chief Minister also took a dig at Union Minister M Veerappa Moily for stating that the internal conflict of the BJP has ensured that Congress will win the next elections. “Moily's calculations are not going to work. People in his own Chikkaballapur constituency are plagued with problems which he has not attended to. JD(S) is not a party with kickback culture. Congress leaders are just fantasizing things and the JD(S) will make sure that regaining power for Congress is not all that easy”, he said.

Slamming his successor to the Chief Ministerial post B S Yeddyurappa, Mr. Kumaraswamy said that his governance has only burdened the people of the state with more taxes. 9 lakh beneficiaries were deprived of pensions in his tenure, he alleged.

MC Nanaiah, MLA, and senior JD(S) leader, said that people of Dakshina Kannada need to introspect as to whether BJP needs to be given another chance to rule the state. “They are the ones who sowed the seeds of 'Taliban' culture here”, he said.

Madhu Bangarappa, Amarnath Shetty, Nagaraj Shetty, MG Hegde, MB Sadashiva, Hyder Parthipady and other JD(S) leaders were present.

Bengaluru, May 9: A three-year-old boy was killed by a leopard in the early hours of Saturday in Magadi taluk near Bengaluru.

According to police, the boy identified as C Hemanth, was sleeping with his parents - Chandrasekhar and Mangalagowramma - outside his grandfather Chikkanna's residence at Kadaraiana Palya.

The couple, residents of Dodderi, near Big Banyan Tree (Dodda Alada Mara), had been staying at Chikkanna's [Mangalagowramma's father] residence since past a few days following the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic in Bengaluru.

Some of the family members, with the child, had slept outside the residence on Friday as the temperature was high. The feline might have taken the child between 1.30 a.m. and 4 a.m., and killed it on the outskirts of the village, said the sources.

After a frantic search, family members and villagers found the mutilated body of the child in the early hours. The leopard had left the partially devoured body on the outskirts of the village, added the sources.

According to the villagers, many felines have been prowling in the area, probably arriving from forests around Magadi and attached areas, for the last several weeks.

The Forest Department officials said that they have launched an exercise to trap the animal by placing cages with live baits.

According to preliminary investigations, the child was killed by a leopard. Pugmarks were found near the body. A detailed investigation and post-mortem report will find the exact cause for the death.

The incident has sent shockwaves in the vicinity of the village. According to the sources, people are planning to launch a protest to condemn the killing of the boy.

Minister for Forest and Environment B.S. Anand Singh has announced a compensation of ₹7.5 lakh to the family of the victim.

Accompanied by Bengaluru Rural Lok Sabha member D.K. Suresh, Magadi legislator Manjunath and senior officials, Mr. Singh visited the place on Saturday morning.

Addressing media persons, he said that the department has decided to start combing operations for the leopard.

Mr. Suresh said the leopard might have come from Thippagondanahalli reservoir's catchment area on the outskirts of Bengaluru. The leopard has already tasted the blood of the child and hence the department should initiate immediate action [as the chances of the feline becoming a man-eater is high, Mr. Suresh added.
