Bengaluru: A cold war is on within the Congress Party in Karnataka over the probable choice for the chief ministership if the party comes to power two years from now. Though it is in the nature of ‘counting the chicken before the eggs are hatched’, the two top leaders, former CM Siddramaiah and KPCC chief D. K. Shivakumar (DKS) have left no one in doubt that they are in the fray for the top post if the party was voted into power in April 2023. At least two party colleagues of Siddramaiah have aired their opinion in the open. Though both leaders have denied that they were laying claim to the top post in the event of the party’s win, it is believed that the campaign is being orchestrated from behind the scene. DKS is the strongman of the party in the State and has a firm grip over the organization while Siddramaiah is considered the tallest leader, the only one to have completed the five-year tenure in the CM’s office during the last forty years. He is also considered close to Rahul

Bengaluru:  Hundreds of distressed mango growers in Karnataka’s Kolar district have been dumping mangos on roads near Srinivasapura over a week due to steep fall in demand and crash in their prices, traders said on Sunday. “As demand for some variety of mangoes like Thothapuri and Banganapalli fell drastically due to thee extended lockdown affecting their sales and consumption, the growers have been forced to dump their unsold stocks, as the fruit was ripening faster in summer heat,” grower-cum-trader G.B. Suraj told IANS on phone from Kolar, about 100 km east of Bengaluru. Though the production was higher due to timely rains and favourable climate leading to a record harvest, he said the demand was about 50 per cent less than last year, as many traders from across the state, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu kept away from buying the king of fruit in bulk quantity, as they were ripening fast and becoming perishable. “Unlike in the past, mango juice makers and pulp-processing units hav
