Kolar: Kolar district, located in the southern state of Karnataka, is known to be a stronghold of the Janata Dal Secular (JDS) party. During a recent convention held in Tippenahalli, the JDS state youth president Nikhil Kumaraswamy made a bold statement that CMR Srinath is sure to win the upcoming election, regardless of who the opponent is.

Nikhil spoke to reporters while attending the JDS convention, where CMR Srinath, JDS candidate, and Banakanahalli Nataraj were also present. Srinath, who has been actively involved in social work for the past 10 years, stated that JDS won in Kolar in 2018 and will win again in 2023.

The Pancharatna Yatra, organized by JDS, has been a huge success and has generated enthusiasm among the people of the state to bring Kumaraswamy back to power. Kumaraswamy, who was known for waiving loans, is now facing corruption allegations, including the 40% government and PSI scam.

In response to a question about the disagreement in Arasikere and Kadur, Nikhil clarified that there is no confusion in JDS. The party leaders and the state president will sit together to discuss the candidate selection in Hassan, Kadur, Araseikere, and take a final decision within the framework of the party.

CT Ravi, a member of the BJP, criticized JDS for releasing a self-declared list. In response, Nikhil stated that the BJP’s statement was made out of desperation and that the party leaders will announce who gets the ticket, be it him or Anita Kumaraswamy. The decision of the leaders is final.

When asked about the statement regarding a Brahmin Chief Minister, Nikhil responded by saying that he finds the statement respectful, as Brahmins believe in “Sarvatosukhinobhavantu.”

In a democratic country like India, it is natural for everyone to aspire to become an MLA, especially in national parties where the competition for tickets is high. JDS, being a strong party, has released the list of 93 candidates before the national parties. Nikhil stated that there is confusion in the national parties, but one should remember that Kolar is a district raised by Hassan Deve Gowda.

In conclusion, JDS continues to be a strong force in Kolar district, and with the successful Pancharatna Yatra and the determination of its leaders, the party is well on its way to securing another victory in 2023.

In response to escalating concerns over suspected Naxalite activity, the Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) has intensified combing operations in the dense expanse of Koojimalai forest. Reports indicate a surge in sightings of individuals believed to be associated with Maoist groups, prompting ANF jawans to bolster their presence in the region.

On Thursday, yet another sighting of a suspected Naxalite was reported from a heavily wooded area within the forest. Eyewitness accounts from a worker in the rubber plantation suggest the presence of an unfamiliar woman in the vicinity, igniting efforts to locate her amidst the dense foliage.

The ANF has wasted no time in responding to these reports, deploying teams to conduct thorough searches across the Ainekidu and Koojimale estate areas. Sources within the ANF have hinted at the possibility of lingering Naxalite presence along the fringes of the Pushpagiri forest sanctuary, underscoring the importance of vigilance in this region.

Confirming the gravity of the situation, ANF sources have acknowledged receiving multiple complaints regarding the presence of unidentified individuals in the Sampaje-Koojimalai corridor. This surge in activity has prompted the ANF to fortify its operations, ensuring a proactive approach to combat any potential threats posed by Naxalite elements.

As the ANF remains steadfast in its mission to maintain peace and security in the region, residents of Koojimalai and surrounding areas can take solace in the concerted efforts being made to address the looming specter of Naxalism. With continued vigilance and collaboration between law enforcement agencies and local communities, the menace of Naxalite insurgency can be effectively curtailed, safeguarding the tranquility of this pristine forest enclave.

The blast, triggered by an IED, necessitated a swift and thorough investigation by NIA to ensure accountability and prevent further threats to public safety. With ongoing efforts and collaboration with law enforcement agencies, NIA remains committed to unraveling the complete network behind such acts of terrorism.
