North Karnataka state issue: HDK hits out at media for adding fuel to fire

Bengaluru, Jul 30: Continuing his tirade against media, Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, has accused the television channels in the state of adding fuel to fire following his response to a BJP leader who suggested dividing the state.

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said: "The media is instigating people. You (media) are stoking the fire.”

“I have not made any wrong statements on the separate statehood issue. I had merely responded to BJP MLA Sreeramulu's statements. I had asked him where he would bring grants from if a separate state is created. I haven't said anything beyond this. But the media has been repeatedly airing this," he added.

Recently, Sreeramulu had demanded a separate North Karnataka state. In the budget discussion, he said that if the government neglected North Karnataka districts, then the demand for separate statehood would be intensified.

Reacting to Sreeramulu's statement, Kumaraswamy retorted at a public gathering in Channapatna asking him if he had the mettle to run a separate state.

The CM also rued that the people of north Karnataka had not voted him to power. Following this, some organisations and mutt heads called for a bandh in Belagavi on August 2.

Politician considering power as a job. If they have power/came into power, they will use and do temporary solution. If they are not ruling, they dont have any loyalty towards people. They will put everything on ruling govt, sit back, enjoys and most of the time makes the situation worst to get attention towards them, like Yeddy doing now

Karwar, Aug 6: In a shocking incident, a 40-day-old girl child was murdered by her own parents in Sirsi town in Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district.

The accused are Priyanka (21) and her husband Chandrashekhar Bhat (42), residents of Ramanakoppa in Sahasrahalli in Yellapur.

According to police, the couple did not want a girl child and hence threw it into a well. The couple was arrested by the police the very next day.

The incident came to light after the child’s maternal uncle, Abhishek Jagadeesh Singh Choudhari, a resident of Rajeev Nagar in Sirsi, lodge a complaint with Yellapur police station. 

He had claimed that his sister Priyanka’s baby had been kidnapped and subsequently killed. 

Priyanka had claimed that she woke up around 2.30am on August 2 to find that her baby, Tanushri, was not in her cradle. Her husband’s family subsequently started searching for the baby, which they found dead inside a well. 

Choudhari suspected that Tanushri had been kidnapped, and had been killed by her abductors to erase any evidence of their crime.

Uttara Kannada superintendent of police Shivaprakash Devaraju constituted a team to crack the crime, and the cops, who subjected the parents to an interrogation, found that they were the culprits.
