The Hindu
Union Home Minister Amit Shah chair a meeting to review the BJP’s strategy for the upcoming elections in Bengaluru.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who arrived in the city on Friday evening, chaired a meeting to review the BJP’s strategy for the upcoming elections. “Fire fighting” after Jagadish Shettar and Laxman Savadi quit the party to join the Congress, sending out a message of Lingayats being sidelined in the party, was a matter discussed on priority, sources said. While Arun Singh, in charge of party affairs in the State, has already hinted at a Lingayat Chief Minister post elections, the party has decided to take up an onground contact programme with the community, sources said.
Mr. Shah was supposed to hold a roadshow at Devanahalli and Vijayapura on Friday evening, which was cancelled due to heavy rain in the two towns on the city’s outskirts. Mr. Shah said he would soon return to Devanahalli to campaign for the party. Mr. Shah will attend a private event on Saturday and return to Delhi by evening.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
