A critically injured Prakash Poojary (36), son of Koosappa, is battling for life at a private hospital in Mangaluru. He is said to be a Bharatiya Janata Party worker.

It is learnt that Mr Poojary was returning from his shop in Jokatte to his house. Near Jokatte Third Gate he was blocked and attacked. When Mr Poojary collapsed, the assailants fled the spot.

Passers-by noticed Prakash Poojary lying unconscious on the road and made arrangements to move him to a private hospital near Kuntikana junction.

A case of attempt to murder has been registered in Suratkal police station. The police said that they are yet to identify assailants. A manhunt is on to nab the accused.

Is killing so easy in mangalore? Pull all politicians or rowdies who wants to kill each other to a ground n let them do what they want to so.. So that Mangalore citizens can stay without any fear

Whats happening in our town? now police along with sangh parivar activists will launch mid night raids on homes of innocent muslims, drag them to custody and torture...

What the hell... Assailants are directly helping Sangh Parivar. They must be arrested and punished immediately.

Also CD must let us know the back ground of the victim. Where he was part of saffron immoral brigade (like prashant poojary of Moodbidiri)?

thanks CD for the fast update. this is a shocking incident.

Get well soon Prakash Poojary. We are with you. We will not leave the terrorists.

Hope police will raid all suspects homes in Jokatte and give justice to the victim.

Accused might be B wing of BJP. they kill their own men in sensitive areas and blame it on other communities.

Nalin Kumar Kateel hits out at Kharge for anti-Modi remark

News Network

February 10,2020

Chitradurga, Feb 10: President of the BJP State unit Nalin Kumar Kateel on Sunday hit out at Congress leader M. Mallikarjun Kharge for allegedly likening Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a “zero candle bulb”.

Mr. Kateel told reporters here that Mr. Modi was a “1,000 watt bulb that gave light to the world”, and compared Mr. Kharge to a lamp that had burned out politically.

Mr. Kateel charged that Mr. Kharge had become frustrated after losing the elections and after his party did not even consider him for a Rajya Sabha seat. And this had made the Congress leader to make wild charges against the Prime Minister.

Lashing out at the Congress, Mr. Kateel alleged that the Congress was continuing the “divide and rule” policy of the British and accused the former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda of being the “other face of the Congress”.

Mr. Kateel also came down on the former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. He ridiculed the Congress for the delay in choosing a new KPCC chief after Dinesh Gundu Rao submitted his resignation.
