Bengaluru, Oct 16: Struggling to forge unity among the bickering legislators in Ballari, Congress has finally fielded party MLC VS Ugrappa from Pavagada in Tumakuru district as its candidate to take on J Shantha of BJP in the Ballari Lok Sabha bypoll to be held on November 3.

The choice of Ugrappa, a loyalist of former CM Siddaramaiah, was announced on Monday after the party leadership failed to zero in on a suitable local candidate.

JDS has got two MP’s seat and one Assembly seat whether the Congress is settled with one Lok Sabha and an assembly seat. Anand Sidha Nyamagouda is the lone Congress candidate from Jamkhand assembly for upcoming Karnataka assembly by-polls. Anand is a son of former Congress MLA, Siddu Nyamagouda, who was killed in a road accident earlier this year on May 28.

Ugrappa means extremist. Shanta means peaceful. In other words it’s a battle between an extremist man and a peaceful woman. The choice if people’s.

Mangaluru, Jan 16: Following the widespread protests against the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), former minister and MLA UT Khader on Thursday urged the Centre and State government to address the concerns of the people.

Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said there is widespread confusion among the public with regard to the implementation of the Act. People are reluctant to open their doors to Asha workers, out of fear that the NRC exercise is being implemented, said Khader.

He urged the chief minister and home minister to gain the trust of the people on the CAA issue.
