Bengaluru, Feb 24: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Congress State president G Parameshwara on Tuesday received a jolt with the ruling party putting up a poor show in their respective home districts – Mysuru and Tumakuru.

siddaCongress candidate from Varuna zilla panchayat seat in Mysuru, Chandramma, was defeated by the BJP's H R Prema. Siddaramaiah represents the Varuna Assembly constituency in the Legislative Assembly.

This is not all. The Congress failed to win a majority in the Mysuru zilla panchayat. Besides Siddaramaiah, two senior Cabinet Ministers V Srinivas Prasad and H C Maha¬devappa represent Mysuru district.

In Tumakuru, the Congress managed to win only one of the four seats in Koratagere taluk. Parameshwara, who is also the Home Minister, used to represent the Koratagere Assembly constituency. He failed to win from Koratagere in the 2013 Assembly elections. Like Mysuru, the ruling party failed to get a majority in the Tumakuru zilla panchayat.

The party has to forge an alliance with the JD(S) in order to hold the reins of power in both Mysuru and Tumakuru zilla panchayat.

Speaking to reporters, Parameshwara admitted that the Congress should have done better in Tumakuru.

Dear CM Siddaramayya.

This is high time for your strip the non functioning Ministers in your cabinet. Also one man one ministry to be followed.

I would appreciate if you strip V. Sorake from Ministry and revamp the organization in UdUpi that will help Congress party in the next Elections. You have to talk to Rahul Gandhi regarding stop Oscar Fernandes and his wife poking his nose in Udipi constituencies. These duos are responsible for the utter defeat in Udipi District and require a reprimand to these duos.

Bengaluru, May 27: Former Karnataka chief minister and JD-S leader HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday said that the state government should withdraw the decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.

"The state government's decision to name the Yelahanka bridge after Savarkar is a disgrace to those who have struggled for the country's prosperity. This doesn't give a good name to the state government," Kumaraswamy tweeted.

"There are many great people who worked for the development of the country before and after independence. Their names could have been used for this bridge. Do other states name their bridges after our leaders? On behalf of the people of the state, I urge the state government to take a step back from this decision," he added.

The newly built Yelahanka bridge was named after Savarkar last year in a BBMP council meeting. Later it was sent to state government for approval. Tomorrow, the bridge is likely to be inaugurated for public use.
