Siddaramaiah files nomination from Chamundeshwari; HDK from Ramanagara, Channapatna

Mysuru, Apr 20: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who is contesting the upcoming polls from Chamundeshwari constituency, filed his nomination on Friday after offering prayers at Chamundeshwari temple.

Karnataka Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy filed nomination from BTM Layout constituency. Congress candidate Priyank Kharge, son of party leader Mallikarjun Kharge, filed his nomination papers from Chittapur constituency.

On a related note, Janata Dal (Secular) leader and former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy filed nomination from Ramanagara and Channapatna.

Karnataka will go to polls on May 12 to elect its representatives for the 224-member assembly. The results will be declared on May 15.

Will CM contest from Badami too?

Earlier this month a delegation of Congress leaders from North Karnataka had met Siddaramaiah and urged him to contest from Badami constituency as well. While Congress went on to name Devraj Patil as its nominee from Badami, the issuing of B-form (required to be filed by a political party mentioning name of its approved candidate) to Patil was been put on hold.

Political analysts strongly believe though that regardless of whether he contests from two seats or not, much of what Siddaramaiah says and does will determine Congress' fortunes in the state. In what is a battle of prestige between the Congress - a party fast losing its grip on states across India, and BJP - a party looking to build momentum ahead of Lok Sabha elections 2019, allegations have flown thick and fast.

Mangaluru, Apr 3: The laboratory at District Wenlock Hospital has initiated trial for Covid 19 testing, close on the heels of receiving permission from state government.

Doctors, elected representatives and stakeholders had repeatedly demanded that a laboratory should be set up in the port city. Without the lab, the samples were sent either to Shivamogga or to Bengaluru for testing. When Heath Minister Sriramulu had visited Mangaluru on March 17, he had promised a lab in the city for testing of the samples.

Accordingly, the government gave permission for starting the laboratory at Wenlock Hospital. The process of registering the lab with Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) will be completed shortly. The laboratory will be fully operational only after it is registered.
