Mysuru, Apr 21: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, on Saturday, said that he doesn’t even know whether incumbent Mandya MLA M H Ambareesh had accepted the ‘B’ form issued by the party or not.

Replying to queries of media persons near his residence in TK Layout here, the CM said: “The KPCC president has issued ‘B’ form to Ambareesh and he has to contest. I am unaware whether he has received it or not”. 

The chief minister also clarified that said he would not meet Ambareesh. 

Excise Minister R B Timmapur, who was with Siddaramaiah, said he had been urging Siddaramaiah to contest from Badami Assembly segment in Bagalkot district for the development of the region. “He will contest from both Chamundeshwari and Badami Assembly segments,” Timmapur said.

However, Siddaramaiah maintained that he would discuss with the party command and take a decision on contesting from Badami.

Dear CM

You have taken a right decision. No need to bow down to him . He don't know how to talk in  a podium. Talking like bewda. i saw many clips where he is talking like a king.  I think he don't know what is he talking. After getting a cabinet ministry, what was his contribution to the soceity??  ZERO -  So better to keep him away from the party.

Mangaluru, May 18: The coastal city of Mangaluru and other parts of twin districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi are receiving heavy rain coupled with lightning and thunder.

The rain, which started in the wee hours, continued to lash for hours. It brought much relief from the sweltering heat.

Waterlogged roads in different parts of Mangaluru cause inconvenience to motorists. The clouds were so dark that the drivers were forced to switch on the headlights while driving vehicles in the morning.

The IMD has predicted heavy rain in the coastal Karnataka for next two days.

Lighting claims a life

Meanwhile, a youth died after lightning struck him at Paduyenagudde in Katpadi of Udupi district on Sunday late night. The deceased was identified as Bharat. Though he was rushed to the hospital, he failed to respond to the treatment.

Bengaluru, Jan 8: The Karnataka high court on Tuesday directed the government to submit steps taken in respect of the order of Lokyukta in relation to the Kethaganahalli landgrab case involving former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, his relatives and former minister DC Thammanna.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka gave the direction on a PIL filed by Samaj Parivartan Samudaya (SPS), an NGO. The petitioner said despite an order from the Lokayukta on August 5, 2014, to take action within 15 days, no action has been initiated till date in respect of encroachment of a huge tract of land in Kethaganahalli along Bengaluru-Mysuru highway.

SPS says the land was purchased in 1979 contrary to norms of Karnataka Land Revenue Act. It claims Kumaraswamy and others paid only Rs 5,000 per acre, although the prevailing market rate was Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 per acre.
