Hassan, Nov 11: Rubbishing the rumours about his possible departure from Janata Dal (Secular) over family feud as baseless, former minister and Holenarasipur MLA H D Revanna has said that he would be with the party till his last breath.

Speaking to media persons here, Revanna also clarified that party supremo H D Deve Gowda and JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy would take a call on issuing a ticket to his son Prajwal for the next general elections and asserted that he would not quit the JD(S) at any point.

"I have strived for the party for 18 years, before being chosen by the people as an MLA. Prajwal is just a party worker now. He is striving for its organisation from the grassroots-level. He has a bright future in the party. Prajwal too has recently informed that he would contest the polls, only if approved by Deve Gowda and myself," he said.

"We are concerned about the people of the state than our family and politics. Both the national parties are involved in mud-slinging, forgetting the welfare of the people", he alleged.

Newsroom, May 26: A migrant worker died of hunger while a 10-month-old boy suffering from fever and breathing difficulties died negligence in two separate incidents onboard Shramik Special trains in Uttar Pradesh.

The 46-year-old dead migrant worker’s nephew, who was accompanying him, said that the victim had not eaten anything in the last 60 hours.

Raveesh Yadav said that no food or water was provided on the train, which they had boarded from Mumbai to travel to their native place in Jaunpur district in Uttar Pradesh.

Yadav and his uncle were working as construction workers in Mumbai.

Yadav told the paper that the train had left the Lokmanya Terminal in Mumbai, at 7pm on May 20 and arrived at its final stop, Varanasi Cantonment station, at 7.30am on May 23.

“But my uncle, who was complaining of hunger and pain all over his body, fainted half an hour before we reached Varanasi Cantonment and died within a few minutes,” Raveesh was quoted as saying.

He added that he and his uncle were hungry when they boarded the train but could not find food or water to buy.

Railways’ apathy

Meanwhile, the family of 10 month old child, who died in the train, alleged that the railways did not arrange for a doctor despite their repeated pleas.

The railway doctors had been moved to Covid-19 hospitals and by the time a doctor was provided at Tundla railway station, it was too late, the report quoted the child's grandfather, Dev Lal, as saying.

Lal said that the family members had tried to speak to the GRP at many stations, including at Aligarh, where the train had halted. "But they showed no interest and said any help would be available only in Tundla,” Lal said.

Railways officials then took the kin to a quarantine centre in Tundla, as they suspected that the baby had died because of the novel coronavirus.  It was only on Monday that the incident came to light when another individual at the quarantine facility intimated journalists after the condition of the child's mother worsened.

Last November, the mother of the child, Priyanka Devi of Bihar's Notan village in West Champaran, had gone to visit her parents who reside in Noida with the baby, who was then just four months old. Her husband Pramod Kumar is a farmer, the report added.
