B.G. Patil from the BJP and Shivanand Patil from the Congress filed their nomination papers for Kalaburagi local bodies constituency of the Legislative Council on Tuesday.
The BJP candidate [B.G. Patil], who had filed a set of his nomination papers in the morning, again arrived with a large number of his supporters in a procession from Veerashaiva Kalyan Mantap to the office of the Deputy Commissioner and filed his nomination papers for the second time.
He was accompanied by Sedam MLA Rajkumar Patil Telkur, Gulbarga South MLA and Chairperson of Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board Dattatreya Patil Revoor, Lok Sabha member from Kalaburagi Umesh Jadhav, legislators Basavaraj Mattimadu, BJP Rural district unit president Shivaraj Patil Raddewadagi, BJP urban district president Siddaji Patil and other party leaders.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
