JD(S) blames Congress tie-up for rout in previous bypolls in Karnataka

We will respond in 2023 polls, says H.D. Kumaraswamy
Janata Dal (S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy on Sunday blamed his party’s alliance with the Congress for its rout in the series of bypolls held after the 2018 Assembly elections.
Participating in an interactive programme organised by the Mysuru District Journalists Association here, he expressed regret over the fact that the JD(S) bit the dust in the series of bypolls to the Assembly held after the 2018 polls, “all because of the alliance with the Congress”.

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.
