Holenarasipur, Feb 11: A day after a farmer committed suicide, a video clip of the last moments of the victim blaming MLA?H?D?Revanna for his extreme step went viral on Wednesday, putting the latter in a spot of bother.

hdGangadhar (55), a farmer from Hatchichowdenahalli, had stated that he decided to end his life as “JD(S) leader and MLA H D Revanna had scolded him for supporting the Congress during the recently concluded election to the Legislative Council from the local bodies constituency, though he was a staunch supporter of the regional party.”

However, Gangadhar’s son B G Mohan, in his statement to the police, gave a different version. He stated that his father had borrowed a loan of Rs 21 lakh from Khadi Gramodyog Board 30 years ago and ended his life as he was unable to repay the loan.

According to the hospital staff, they have no clue about the person who had videographed the statements of Gangadhar on his cellphone, during the latter’s last minutes. An attendant who was on duty during the incident said Gangadhar came to the hospital at 10 pm on Tuesday, saying he had consumed poison-laced liquor and pleaded with the medical staff to save his life.

Duty doctor Dr Prabhavathy provided first aid and later suggested that he be shifted to Hassan hospital. By the time the police were informed, Gangadhar had died. Visibly irked over the development, MLA?Revanna blamed the Congress leaders in the district for “their involvement in tarnishing his image” for political reasons.

”I am ready for any kind of probe related to the incident. Let the government hand over the case CBI,” Revanna told media persons. He alleged that Congress candidate Sunil from Halekote ZP constituency and his friends were attempting to tarnish his image, as his (Revanna) wife Bhavani was contesting against him on a JD(S) ticket. He demanded a detailed probe into the issue.

Bengaluru, Aug 3: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee working president Satish Jarakiholi on Sunday said that as per the party sources, state chief minister BS Yediyurappa has got only six months' time and there are different teams working against Yediyurappa in their party.

The BJP high command has decided to bring down Yediyurappa, Jarakhioli said. He added, "Yediyurappa had asked BJP high command to appoint him Chief Minister for six months and due to corona, his period has been extended. But now their own party sources have revealed that he has got only another six months."

While addressing the issue of different statements by BJP leaders and ministership aspirants after five MLCs were nominated, Jarakiholi said "Yediyurappa followers are not actual followers. BJP high command has already decided to bring down Yediyurappa as per their own party sources."

While speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said there are teams formed in the names of deputy CMs and there are many who are working in their party against Yediyurappa.

He also said that it's up to their party what they think about Yediyurappa's tenure, whether they keep him as CM or remove him. Being in Opposition, now Congress is only working on strengthening the party, he said.
