HD Kumaraswamy Slams Darshan & Yash; ‘Thieves Who Are Looting Farmers’! Takes A Gig At D Boss
Now it makes sense to us why a few celebrities, such as Shivrajkumar, Sudeep and Puneeth have chosen to stay away from politics. Sumalatha’s decision to contest as an independent candidate from Mandya has triggered the JD(S) leaders.
Karnataka’s CM HD Kumaraswamy’s son Nikhil Kumar is contesting from the same region. Recently, while talking to the media he slammed Sandalwood actors Darshan and Yash, who are supporting Sumalatha in the campaign. He went on to call the two actors thieves, who are looting farmers. He even took a dig at Darshan for being called D Boss!
CM Slams Yash & Darshan! Previously, during a press meet, Darshan said that he and Yash are supporting Sumalatha as two hard-working bullocks. Taunting this statement of the actor’s, CM said, “This pair of bullock is not meant for ploughing the field but to raid farmers’ crops. What do they know about the difficulties of farming?” Darshan Can’t Enter Mandya Kumaraswamy further added, “There is a video circulating on WhatsApp about his comments about people of Mandya. It is below my dignity to talk about the words mentioned in the clip. If the people listen to it, they will not let him enter Mandya.” Takes A Dig At D Boss He went on to take a dig at Darshan for the title given by the fans. He said, ” What is that? Challenging Star? Apparently he’s not scared. And, D Boss! He’s a D Boss only in the cinemas.” Questions Actors’ Ethics “Where were these stars when Mandya witnessed tragedies? Did they give their shoulders to the families of those who died in the bus accident? It was our CS Puttaraju who was with the people during the crisis,” he said pointing at the actors.

Skipper Ashwin should have maintained decorum: BCCI
New Delhi, March 26 (Nasheman News) Kings XI Punjab skipper R. Ashwin might have called his decision to ‘Mankad’ Rajasthan Royals batsman Jos Buttler in Jaipur on Monday as instinctive but the Royals weren’t impressed, with skipper Ajinkya Rahane, head coach Paddy Upton and brand ambassador Shane Warne making their displeasure known.
With the matter snowballing, even the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has said that the captain should have maintained decorum and that even the match officials failed in their duty.
Speaking to IANS, a senior BCCI official said that only cricketing skills should be used on the pitch to dismiss batsmen and that gives out the correct message to those watching and learning.
“The match officials have failed in their duty with the handling of this issue. Buttler ought to have been adjudged not out if the laws were applied squarely to the situation. Ashwin also must understand that laws and the spirit of the game both have to be kept in mind.
“A player is supposed to deceive the other with his cricketing skills and not with shady skills. If the batsman is taking advantage, deal with it in the right way – as a gentleman. Competitiveness is all very well but a standard of decorum ought to be maintained,” the official said.
Another official said that these things impact the popularity of the individual and criticism is bound to follow.
“This mode of dismissal is akin to back-stabbing. That is why it will always be criticized. It gets you the result, but you surely won’t win a popularity contest this way,” he said.
But the official added that two wrongs don’t make one right and Buttler should have left what happened on the field and shaken hands with Ashwin after the game.
“Buttler not shaking hands with Ashwin after the game was also against the spirit of the game. Both these things are inexcusable where the spirit of the game is concerned,” the official said.
While skipper Rahane had said that he was hoping that the match referee would take note of what happened on the field, Warne was livid and made his disappointment known over social media.
“So disappointed in @ashwinravi99 as a captain and as a person. All captains sign the #IPL wall and agree to play in the spirit of the game. RA had no intention of delivering the ball – so it should have been called a dead ball. Over to you BCCI – this a not a good look for the #IPL,” he wrote.
He then pointed at how as captain it was Ashwin’s duty to set the standards for the rest of the team to follow. He also added how Ashwin will be remembered for this “low” act.
“As captain of your side – you set the standard of the way the team wants to play and what the team stands for! Why do such a disgraceful and low act like that tonight? You must live with yourself and FYI – it’s too late to say sorry Ashwin. You will be remembered for that low act,” he wrote.
He ended by asking if people would have approved it if Ben Stokes had done the same thing to Virat Kohli.

“Modi ate dhokla and slept during Pulwama attack” : Owaisi
: As controversy erupted over AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi suggesting that PM Modi ate beef biryani and slept when the Pulwama attack happened, he tweaked his statement on Monday night and changed beef to dhokla and said he is not aware of Modi’s food habits.
Owaisi again attacked the Modi government for its intelligence failure on preventing the Pulwama terror attack.
He said that he is not aware of PM Modi’s food habits, maybe he had slept off after eating dhokla when terrorists attacked the CRPF convoy in Pulwama and killed 40 CRPF jawans.
Earlier on Saturday, according to media, Owaisi had said, “You can see that 300 cell phones were there in Balakot, but you failed to see how 50 kg RDX was moved to Pulwama under your nose.”
“I want to ask PM Modi and Rajnath Singh whether they ate beef biryani and slept,” Asaduddin Owaisi added, as quoted by .
A Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a CRPF convoy and blew up one of the buses, killing 40 men.
Several Opposition leaders raised questions on intelligence failure as to why there was no information on such huge quantities of explosives being moved in Kashmir.
The Hyderabad MP also attacked PM Modi over his recent tweet promoting Narendra Modi merchandise on Twitter under his ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ campaign.
“Soon we will see ‘Modi Mart-mall’ giving a challenge to Big Bazaar and Walmart,” Asaduddin Owaisi said while addressing a rally.
“The #MainBhiChowkidar programme on the 31st will look even better with the attractive merchandise! Have you ordered yours?” the official Twitter handle of Prime Minister Narendra Modi had tweeted.
Pollachi sexual abuse case: CID summons son of DMK functionary
The Crime Branch-CID of the Tamil Nadu Police has summoned Thendral Manimaran, 27, son of DMK district secretary (Coimbatore rural) Thendral Selvaraj, to ask him about his proximity with Thirunavvukkarasu, the prime suspect in the Pollachi sexual abuse case.
Thirunavakkarasu had Manimaran’s name during the inquiry. Manimaran was asked to appear before the investigation officer in Coimbatore on March 28.
The CB-CID also summoned A Nagaraj alias Muthusamy, 28, of Pollachi in connection with the case who was the AIADMK functionary and was expelled from the party after he was called for the inquiry.
Both of them were called for questioning based on the statement of the prime accused.
In February this year, four men were arrested for allegedly blackmailing, sexually harassing and filming a 19-year-old college student in Pollachi.
The case snowballed into a major scandal after local media reported that not just one but a few hundred women were victims of an organised racket of sexual abuse, blackmail and extortion
The four men, Thirunavakkarasu, Sathish, Sabariraj and Vasanthkumar, were arrested.
Police officials said the four men sexually harassed dozens of women — over 50 of them — for over two years across Tamil Nadu. Among them were teachers and students from schools and colleges.
The officials described a chilling pattern. The men, they said, found victims on Facebook and forced them to meet in person after befriending them. They then harassed them in moving vehicles, hotels or farmhouses.
Most of the victims refused to make formal complaints, the police officials said. The police say they have retrieved videos from the gang that show sexual harassment or assault.
