Poll code violation: BJP, Congress file plaints with EC against each other

Bengaluru, Mar 31: The Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress have lodged complaints against each other with the Election Commission (EC) for alleged violations of the model code of conduct.

The Congress complained that BJP president Amit Shah violated the code of conduct in Mysuru by allegedly handing over a cheque for Rs 5 lakh to the family of Raju, an RSS worker who was killed in 2016.

The complaint stated that Mr. Shah was accompanied by BJP State president B.S. Yeddyurappa, Union Minister Ananth Kumar and MP for Mysuru Prathap Simha during his visit to Raju’s family.

“Mr. Shah has visited the State, particularly Mysuru, many times before but had never made an effort to visit the family. Thus it is safe to presume in the light of ensuing elections that the money was paid with an intent to woo the voters,” the complaint said.

The complaint added that the visit to Raju’s house was advertised on the front page of a daily and it clearly shows that their intention was to gain sympathy and polarise views.

BJP general secretary Shobha Karandlaje denied the allegation and said Mr. Shah never handed over the cheque to the family members. She came down heavily on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for allegedly violating the model code of conduct by distributing cash to voters during his campaign in Mysuru on Thursday.

“There is photographic evidence showing the Chief Minister giving out money from his wallet. It is irresponsible on part of the Chief Minister to do so,” she said. The BJP lodged a complaint with the EC against Mr. Siddaramaiah later in the day.

Newsroom, Feb 2: American business magnate Bill Gates has congratulated her daughter Jennifer Gates after she announced her engagement to her Muslim boyfriend Nayel Nassar.

“I am completely thrilled! Congratulations, @jenniferkgates and @nayelnassar”, commented the Microsoft boss to her daughter’s surprise Instagram story.

The proposal took place on a ski getaway. "Nayel Nassar, you are one of a kind. Absolutely swept me off my feet this past weekend, surprising me in the most meaningful location over one of our many shared passions," she wrote on Instagram. The pair does have one very significant shared passion - horses.

Nassar, 29, is a showjumper. Gates, 23, has famously grown up an equestrian, and has even competed against Steve Jobs' daughter.

In October, Nassar helped Egypt qualify for Tokyo 2020 - Egypt's first Olympic equestrian qualification in 60 years. He has been jumping since he was 10 years old and has the accolades to show for it - he has taken first place in a number of notable competitions, including the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup.

Nassar was born in Chicago to Egyptian parents and spent many of his formative years in Kuwait, where his well-to-do parents run an architecture and design firm, according to People. He is fluent in English, Arabic, and French.

He moved back to the US in 2009 and graduated from Stanford with an economics degree in 2013 - later, he supported Gates at her own Stanford graduation in 2018.

The couple received well wishes from many notable personalities on each of their Instagram posts, including comments from Bill and Melinda Gates, Georgina Bloomberg, and Eve Jobs.

Karwar, Aug 6: In a shocking incident, a 40-day-old girl child was murdered by her own parents in Sirsi town in Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district.

The accused are Priyanka (21) and her husband Chandrashekhar Bhat (42), residents of Ramanakoppa in Sahasrahalli in Yellapur.

According to police, the couple did not want a girl child and hence threw it into a well. The couple was arrested by the police the very next day.

The incident came to light after the child’s maternal uncle, Abhishek Jagadeesh Singh Choudhari, a resident of Rajeev Nagar in Sirsi, lodge a complaint with Yellapur police station. 

He had claimed that his sister Priyanka’s baby had been kidnapped and subsequently killed. 

Priyanka had claimed that she woke up around 2.30am on August 2 to find that her baby, Tanushri, was not in her cradle. Her husband’s family subsequently started searching for the baby, which they found dead inside a well. 

Choudhari suspected that Tanushri had been kidnapped, and had been killed by her abductors to erase any evidence of their crime.

Uttara Kannada superintendent of police Shivaprakash Devaraju constituted a team to crack the crime, and the cops, who subjected the parents to an interrogation, found that they were the culprits.
