nellikunnu KKasaragod, My 19: The sitting MLA NA Nellikkunnu of the Indian Union Muslim League has managed to win the prestigious Kasaragod assembly constituency for the second consecutive term.

In spite of rigours campaign by BJP leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah, their candidate Raveesha Thantri was defeated by the sitting MLA.

In 2011 Mr Nellikkunnu had defeated BJP's Jayalakshmi N Bhat with a convincing 9,738 votes margin in the 2011 polls. This time the BJP had surprised all by choosing Raveesha, the state vice-president of Hindu Aikya Vedi as its candidate.

Raveesha is the thantri (chief priest) for 63 temples in Dakshina Kannada and Kasaragod, and is a patron of district temple protection committee. The RSS leadership had hoped that he would have good stead in the elections.

The Kasaragod Assembly segment has been witnessing one-to-one fight between the IUML and the BJP with the former winning the 10 elections in a row since 1977.

Bengaluru, Jun 11: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Thursday allowed the Opposition Congress party's newly elected state president DK Shivakumar to have a formal swearing-in function.

He told media, “I have spoken to Shivakumar and informed him to conduct the event after taking precautionary measures against the spread of the COVID-19 disease”.

The move came after the state government received flak from the main Opposition Congress leaders, for refusing to permit the newly elected State Congress president to have a formal swearing-in function take reigns from his predecessor Dinesh Gundu Rao.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: Congress MLA UT Khader on Wednesday slammed the Central government over the enactment of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and said it violates the Constitution.

"The new citizenship amendment bill is unconstitutional. The citizenship cannot be given on cast and creed basis. Because of these things we are fighting against it," he said while speaking to media in Bengaluru.

Opposition along with several non-BJP state governments, including Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Kerala, Punjab and Rajasthan have refused to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed NRC in their respective states.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.
