Bengaluru belongs to whole Karnataka: Shivakumar
DK Shivakumar
on Sunday said the state capital belongs to all people from across
Karnataka
, and not just to those in Bengaluru.
Addressing a gathering at Kundapra Habba, a community celebration by people from Kundapura taluk in Upupi district, he said the priority of the govt is to create jobs, and it would consider the demand for an airport for the coastal district later.
"Those who criticised the idea of greater Bengaluru said it would deprive Kannadigas of job opportunities. I told them they are fools as they must understand that Bengaluru is like the heart of people from across the state, including those from Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Kalaburagi and Raichur. They should not see them as outsiders," Shivakumar said.

‘Bogus votes were created': DK Shivakumar backs Rahul Gandhi's claims against EC in Karnataka
'We conducted research in many booths of Karnataka, especially in the urban sectors, where we found that votes were shifted there from various places without any proper documents. All bogus votes were created… We will present this evidence to the election commission. Whether they agree or not, that's a different issue. We will present it in front of the people too… A very big injustice has been given to those assembly segments. Our constituencies have been affected with this…. I stand by his statement,' DK Shivakumar said. Speaking to ANI, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister stated that Congress party has conducted research in many booths and found that votes were shifted 'without' any proper documents. New Delhi: Extending his support to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's allegations against the Election Commission in Karnataka, Deputy CM DK Shivakumar on Saturday said that bogus votes were found in several urban booths across the state and the matter would be brought to the notice of the public and the poll body. His statement came after Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of indulging in 'cheating' during the voter list revision process in a Karnataka constituency. On July 24, Gandhi claimed to have '100 per cent' proof of the alleged manipulation, which involves adding and deleting voters, but hasn't presented any evidence yet. He alleged that thousands of new voters aged 50, 60, and 65 have been added to the list in a single constituency and eligible voters above 18 have been removed from the list. 'Today we have 100 per cent proof of Election Commission allowing cheating in a seat in Karnataka. When we decide to show it to you, it is 100 per cent proof. We just looked at one constituency and we found this. I am absolutely convinced that constituency after constituency this is the drama. Thousands of new votes, aged 50 or 60, 65 (are there) in one constituency. Then voter deletion, people who are way above 18,' he said. The opposition parties, including Congress and Samajwadi Party, have been protesting against the SIR exercise, alleging that it's an attempt to disenfranchise voters, particularly from marginalised communities. They claim that the process is being used to remove names from the voters' list, which could impact the outcome of upcoming assembly elections. This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
