CM skips Kudroli Dasara, spends time at Ivan's house; Poojary curses both

October 10, 2016

Mangaluru, Oct 10: Veteran Congress leader B Janardhana Poojary has cursed the Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah after the latter gave the formal inauguration of Kudroli Dasara a miss although he was present in Mangaluru on Sunday.

Mr Siddaramaiah had inaugurated the Kudroli Dasara in 2014. Every year Mr Poojary, the patron of Kudroli Gokarnanatheshwara Temple, invites a special guest for the formal inauguration of the common man's Dasara. This year he had not invited any special guest.

It is learnt that Mr Poojary had expected the CM's visit to the Temple during his day-long Dakshina Kannada tour on Sunday.

However, after returning from Koila in Puttur taluk, where he laid foundation stone for a veterinary college, Mr Siddaramaiah visited the house of Ivan D'Souza, chief whip of the government in state legislative council, at Valencia.

Mr Poojary slammed both CM and the chief whip for allegedly ignoring the Mangaluru Dasara programme. “God will not forgive Mr Siddaramaiah for this blunder,” Mr Poojary said and added that Mr D'Souza too is responsible for CM's “indifferent attitude”.

However, Mr D'Souza said that visit to Kudroli was not on the cards and it was not included in the CM's official tour programme. He said that he had invited the CM on his arrival to the city and the latter accepted the same. "He was in my house for around 45 minutes before flying back to Bengaluru," he said.

May be The days are near we hear the news of Mr. Poojary joins the Communal party of india (BJP). Poojary is just creating a platform just to destroy congress and jump into his party BJP. May be Already he is purchased by BJP, and it will use him and throw him like toilet paper...

This is his last visit to dakshina kannada.....God curse all those who follow chor party..congress.

Very bad ...whether we take it or not ...one big section of billawas still follow pujari and support congress .this will be very costly as many billawa ministers were given exit by Congress and now insulting veteran community leader

Pujari should stop bad mouthing!

Dont worry CM.. You are doing good job.. Dogs will bark as usual..

It is better to stay away from worshiping the Idols (NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI). Atleast CM is following what the VEDAS says. Poojary is looking for controversy in everything now...

Siddu nothing will happen, dont worry about the curse...

February 14,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 14: Bengaluru Police on Friday said that it has busted a gang engaged in e-commerce fraud over the online marketplace who were involved in 200 of the 316 cheating cases registered last year.

"We registered 316 cases for cheating through online marketplaces last year. We have busted a gang operating from Rajasthan's Bharatpur and arrested 5 people. They are responsible for 200 out of 316 cases. We are questioning the accused," Bhaskar Rao, Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru told reporters here.

Explaining their modus operandi, the Police Commissioner said, "There were fictitious buyers and sellers on the online marketplace. These people used to call up prospective buyers and sellers. The products that were shown were two-wheelers, four-wheelers, electronic items and furniture."

"People used to send their money to these fraudsters using their QR code. The fraudsters were operating from Bharatpur in Rajasthan. A police team of 15 was sent to the place from where they were operating. Rajasthan police gave us full cooperation and we were able to arrest five persons," he added.

Rao said that these fraudsters had an idea about the loopholes in the e-commerce sector and exploited them.
"Some of those arrested were employed in the e-commerce and banking business and they had an idea about the loopholes in this sector," he said.

"We warn the citizens to ensure that they verify the antecedents of the buyers and sellers in this sector before spending money on these platforms," he added.

In Mangaluru pro-CAA rally Rajnath Singh rakes up Kashmiri Pundit issue

Mangaluru, Jan 27: No power can now stop Kashmiri Pandits from going back to Kashmir, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, forcefully defending the NDA government’s decision to reorganise Jammu and Kashmir and abrogating its special status under Article 370.

Addressing a massive pro-CAA, NRC rally organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party at Gold Finch city, Kuloor, on the outskirts of the city, the Defence minister also sent a strong message to Pakistan and said India will not let anyone live in peace if it is harmed.

"We will not touch anyone, but if someone bothers us, then we are not going to let them live in peace," he said.

Referring to the exodus of a large number of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the late 1990s at the height of militancy, Singh said no power now can stop them from returning to their homes.

On the Citizenship Amendment Act, the minister said it is not a law to hurt the sentiments of any religion but to give relief to victims of religious persecution.

Mahatma Gandhi had told Nehru to give citizenship to minorities like Hindus and Sikhs if they come to India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fulfilled that vision by bringing in the law, Singh said.

On several non-BJP states refusing to implement the CAA, the defence minister said it it is a central law and everyone should follow it.

Accusing the Congress of misleading people on the issue, he said the party should not forget its duty towards the nation just because it is in opposition.
