The invitation, for the November wedding comes in a blue box, which has an elaborate setup including an LCD screen playing a video.

The video has the whole family singing along to a song written specially for the wedding, while text announces "Bramhani Weds Rajeev Reddy".

"Atithi Devobhava (guest is like God)," Mr Reddy sings - or lip syncs - along with his wife and son.

In a setting that puts Bollywood to shame, the bride and groom are introduced and shown eyeing each other coyly. Everyone sings. The bride swirls her lehenga and runs in slow-mo. The groom is introduced with white stallions in the backdrop.

The one-minute video ends with a close-up of the family as the date and venue are announced.

The wedding is expected to be star-studded event with many bollywood stars expected to be in attendance.

Mr Reddy, 49, once among the most powerful men in Karnataka, spent three years in jail in connection with illegal mining. He was released last year on bail.

He and his older brother G Karunakara Reddy were ministers in the BJP government headed by BS Yeddyurappa till July 2011. Months later, Mr Reddy was arrested by the CBI.

His daughter's wedding is widely expected to be a star-studded event and a grand show of opulence, quite like the engagement ceremony last month.

If the wedding invite is any indication, the powerful politician is spending a fortune on the wedding.

Reddy don't know the value of money, if he had earned money with hard work then he will not spend like this.

Reddy is spending the money of our own people which he gained by cheating. He made use of his power while he was Minister in BJP Govt, the chore party. I am sure that there were many share holders in the cheated money. BJP is very favorable and soft to its members. Most of the BJP MLAs / MPs are crorepatis whereas common Indian is struggling for one time food.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."

Bengaluru, Jun 17: Amid rising COVID cases in the past two weeks, the Karnataka government is planning to increase testing capacity to 25,000 samples a day, said a minister.

"Due to increase in cases in the last two weeks, the government is trying to scale up testing to 15,000 to 25,000 samples per day," said Medical Education Minister K. Sudhakar.

He said people living in crowded places, sanitation workers, street vendors, healthcare workers, police and other frontline staff would be extensively tested.

"It has also been decided to mandatorily test all those who have symptoms of Influenza Like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI)," he said.

Similarly, all people over 50 with ILI symptoms will be tested.

The health department will also randomly test samples in old containment zones to make sure that the infection is not recurring.

Currently, there are 72 Covid testing labs in the southern state, 41 government operated and 31 private labs.

However, for a few days, the number of Covid tests in the state have plummeted.

On Monday, the health department has tested only 5,362 samples across the state.

Likewise, on Tuesday, only 7,936 samples were tested, diverging from earlier weeks when around 10,000 cases were tested on an average.

In all, 4.57 lakh samples have been tested so far, of which 4.39 lakh have tested negative.
