Mangaluru, Apr 29: The hatred between Congress veteran B Ramanath Rai and Social Democratic Party of Indian has now turned into love and both have entered into wedlock, according to Harikrishna Bantwal, Spokesperson of Dakshina Kannada district unit of Bharatiya Janata Party.

Mr Bantwal, who was expelled from the Congress party in 2015 on charge of anti-party activities, joined the BJP in 2017. In last two years he has held a series of press conferences to criticise Mr Rai, the Minister for Forest, Environment and Ecology, and a six time MLA from Bantwal constituency.

On Saturday, addressing a press conference in the city, Mr Bantwal said that Mr Rai, who had been claiming for last five years that communal groups would not be allowed to come near him, has entered into a ‘nikah’ with SDPI by paying a huge amount of ‘mahr’.

Mr Bantwal went on to claim that Mr Rai and other leaders of Congress in the coastal district have reached a secret pact with those who murdered Hindutva activists.

“The process of this secret agreement had begun when the Congress government of Karnataka withdrew cases against SDPI and PFI activists,” he said adding that Mr Rai’s true colour has now come to the fore.

It’s worth mentioning here that Bantwal’s SDPI candidate Riyaz Farangipete, who had vowed to defeat Mr Rai in May 12 Karnataka Assembly polls, took a U-turn all of a sudden and withdrew his nomination papers last Friday.

SDPI supporters please  stay away from BJP and JDS. 

Because of SDPI's poor decission to run in the previous election BJP won

 Congress lost  (because Muslim votes got divided between SDPI and Congress.

  This time be smart and vote for Congress.

I think Harikrishna Bantwal was the Khazi for this secret wedding. But am worried whether the bride will ditch the hubby by secretly going for honeymoon with the BJP.

Bengaluru, Jan 13: Right-wing organisations, along with BJP and RSS workers, will take out a massive padayatra in Kanakapura on Monday, protesting against the construction of a Jesus Christ statue.

The event organised by the Hindu Jagarana Vedike (HJV) will witness a rally from the Aiyappa temple in Kanakapura to the taluk panchayat office, where a memorandum will be submitted to the authorities following a public meeting.

Ahead of the event, Congress leader D K Shivakumar, in a video message released on Sunday, urged the people of Kanakapura to maintain calm. The former minister cast apprehensions over the event scheduled on Monday and said provocative statements may be made to disturb peace and harmony in Kanakapura.

Shivakumar, who represents the Kanakapura constituency, said the motive of the meeting by the leaders and workers of the BJP and the RSS, along with seers of mutts, was to defame his constituency.

“If any remarks are made against me, my brother (D K Suresh) or people of different faiths in Kanakapura constituency, do not be provoked,” he urged.

“Members of the (Christian) community have prayed at the site for 400 years and are trying to install a statue of Jesus Christ. I have helped the community like I aided hundreds of temples and educational institutions,” he said.

Appealing to maintain peace, Shivakumar said that BJP and RSS leaders were free to petition anybody.  

The BJP and right-wing organisations have objected to the construction of the statue at Kapala Betta, with the BJP government ordering a probe into how road, power supply and other facilities were provided to the hill. Recently, Christian leaders had petitioned Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to remove any impediments to the construction of the statue.
