Mangaluru, Apr 18: Bantwal Congress candidate B Rananath Rai, who has intensified his campaign for May 12 Karnataka assembly polls, on Wednesday called on the former union minister and party veteran B Janardhana Poojary and sought his blessings.

Minister for Forest, Environment and Ecology in the incumbent state government and six time MLA from Bantwal, Mr Rai is expected to file his nomination papers on April 19.

Mr Rai’s visit to the Billava stalwart’s house gains significance in the wake of latter’s aides accusing the Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister of mocking and abusing the veteran leader. Mr Rai has brushes aside the allegations.

A strong critic of chief minister Siddaramaiah’s way of functioning, the octogenarian Poojary has been resting at home for the last few months due to ill-health.

It is learnt that Mr Poojary is not capable of campaigning for the party in the upcoming polls. Mr Rai sought Mr Poojary’s blessings for all the Congress candidates in the state.

Mr Poojary expressed hope that Congress will return to power after May 12 polls. He also predicted Mr Rai’s victory. “People of Bantwal will make you MLA again,” Mr Poojary told Mr Rai.

Feb 28: The Supreme Court on Friday granted more time to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file a counter affidavit on a petition filed by Karnataka BJP leader and mining baron Gali Janardhana Reddy seeking permanent relaxation on his bail condition to allow him to visit Karnataka's Bellari and Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh.

A bench of Justices Arun Mishra and Indira Banerjee listed the matter for further hearing on March 16 after the CBI sought more time to do file the counter affidavit.

Earlier, the apex court had issued a notice to the CBI and sought its response on the plea.

Last year, the Court had allowed Reddy to visit the Ballari district for a period of two weeks to meet his father-in-law, who the petitioner claimed had suffered a stroke and also allowed him to move a bail modification application seeking permanent relaxation of his bail condition.

In January 2015, the Supreme Court had granted bail to Reddy in an illegal mining case involving Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) on the condition that he will not visit any of the mining zones in Karnataka or Andhra Pradesh.

By the time he was granted bail, Reddy had already spent over three years in prison.

Reddy and his brother-in-law BV Srinivas Reddy, who was the Managing Director of OMC, were arrested by the CBI on September 5, 2011.
