In his tribute to the retiring judge, Attorney General R Venkataramani said, “The searching questions and the serious demeanor, immediately accompanied by a disarming smile...all of this was in Justice Rastogi and we have been honoured that he was a part of this institution. His intervention in the Amrapali matter has paved the way for a commendable journey. You will be an architect of peace and comfort in the hearts of many, many homebuyers.”

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said, “We were all at ease before your lordship. The smile on your face and the habit of my lord to read everything caught some off-guard. But that never came in the way of clients getting justice.”

Bengaluru: CM Ashok

Gehlot reached Bengaluru on Friday evening to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Karnataka’s new CM Siddaramaiah today. Talking to media, Gehlot said, “We and Vasundhara ji never had talking terms for 15 years. There have been no talking terms after our govt left in 2003. We do talk sometimes now, but that too if we meet at a function.” The CM said, “Bhairon Singh Shekhawat ji was ill, then he had gone out of country. The people of his party conspired to topple govt. I was State Cong President. I told them that CM has gone for heart treatment and you are toppling the govt in his absence, I won’t support it. Baliram Bhagat was the Governor at that time.”

CM said that senior BJP leader Kailash Meghwal had said when opportunity presented itself that this is not their tradition. “I did not hear that sentiment from Vasundhara ji. When MLA used to meet in lobby, they used to say that even Vasundhara ji didn’t want to topple, but media is media. Quotes change as soon as the headline changes,” he said. “People of K’taka have taught BJP a lesson, BJP has got a crushing defeat in Karnataka. That’s why they are inaugurating Parliament soon to say that everything is fine, but something’s not quite right.”
