Mr. Harinath defeated Roopa D. Bangera of the BJP by a margin of 16 votes. He is the 29th Mayor of this coastal city. The post of Mayor was reserved for a general candidate.

Representing 14 Marakada ward, Harinath elected to the council for the fifth time, was the chairman of the finance, taxation and appeals standing commitee in the council headed by outgoing Mayor Jacintha Vijay Alfred. While two sets of nomination papers were filed on behalf of Harinath, one set of nomination was filed on behalf of Roopa.

With neither candidate withdrawing their nomination, regional commissioner, Mysuru A M Kunjappa, the election officer who conducted the election, declared Harinath elected. Five corporators - two from JD(S), one each from CPI(M), and SDPI and an independent - remained neutral.

In the election to the post of deputy mayor, Sumithra Kariya of the BJP was elected unopposed. As the post of deputy mayor was reserved for a ST (woman), and Sumithra was the lone candidate from that category in the council, that has 65-members, including 60 elected corporators, and rest members of state legislature and the Lok Sabha, her election was a foregone conclusion. Sumithra represents ward two in the city corporation.

The term of Harinath and his deputy Sumithra is for a period of one year that ends on March 10, 2017. The elections to the members of four standing committees of the civic bodies were conducted later.

Hubballi, Jan 30: Seeking to disabuse people of the notion that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), recently passed by the BJP-led central government threatened the legitimacy of Muslims in the country, yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Wednesday said that he would among the first to take to the streets should the community face any such trouble. “If the National Register of Citizens (NRC) threatens injustice to Indian Muslims, it I not just I, but a billion Indians will protest against its implementation,” he added.

Recalling his longstanding association with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ramdev said, “I have known Modi for more than 15 years, and I can assure you that he cannot be called anti-Muslim. There is nothing in the CAA that threatens the rights of Muslims, some of whom are being misled by a few.”

The yoga guru said that, while 99% of the Muslims in India were patriotic, the remaining ones were seeking to divide the country, which he said was resulting in Islam falling into disgrace. “I appeal to all Muslims to keep away from such anti-national forces seeking to bring a bad name to Islam,” said Ramdev, calling on the people to stay united in the face of the severe economic crisis that the country was presently in the grips of.

He added that he was as committed to his goal of getting black money back to India. However, when quizzed by journalists as to how long he was willing to wait for PM Modi to realise this objective, Ramdev said, “Chodi, mere aur Modi ke beech jagada mat lao (Please do not incite a fight between Modi and me).”

The yoga guru also endorsed the decision of the Centre to recognise singer Adnan Sami with a Padma award.

Belgaum, Mar 26: The police on Thursday thrashed people who had gone to offer prayers at a mosque despite the nationwide lockdown in force.
In a video, the police personnel can be seen thrashing the people with batons while they were leaving after offering prayers at a local mosque here.
In another incident in Rajasthan's Pratapgarh, the police made few youngsters hop along a road and even gave the 'murga,' punishment to a few of them for violating the restrictions.
Similarly in Uttar Pradesh's Budaun, the police made people hop along a road with their bags strapped on their backs as a punishment. The people were possibly going to their native places.
In the video of the Budaun incident, a few men can be seen being made to hop along the road with a stick-wielding policeman keeping a watch.
SSP Budaun told ANI that an investigation is being conducted into the incident and expressed an apology for the police's behaviour.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced a 21-day countrywide lockdown to check the spread of coronavirus, saying that "social distancing" is the only option to deal with the highly contagious disease.
