‘Mithun Rai is the best; deity warned me in my dream’: Poojary’s U-turn after a sound sleep

Mangaluru, Mar 25: Former union minister B Janardhana Poojary, who had yesterday predicted the defeat of Congress and blessed Dakshina Kannada BJP candidate Nalin Kumar Kateel, today took a complete U-turn and endorsed Congress candidate Mithun Rai.

“Mithun Rai is THE BEST. He is suitable candidate for Dakshina Kannada. After a long deliberation, Congress has fielded him from this seat. He is the winning candidate,” said 82-year-old Congress veteran, who was one of the ticket aspirants from Dakshina Kannada.

Mr Poojary spoke to media persons after Mithun Rai, ahead of filing nomination papers, visited Sri Gokarnanatheshwara Temple at Kudroli and touched former’s feet seeking his blessings.

The Octogenarian went on to claim that the temple’s deity visited him in dream last night and warned him. “He came in my dream last night and said: ‘You have become arrogant. You are asleep. Wake up’,” Mr Poojary said pointing the finger at the deity.

“Now, Mithun Rai is going to seek the blessings of the people. I will also join him,” said Mr Poojary, who had earlier threatened to rebel against Congress if it fielded candidates like M N Rajendra Kumar and Ivan D’Souza.

Bengaluru, Aug 3: All those who met Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who has tested positive for Covid-19, in the last three-four days will have to be quarantined, Medical Education Minister Sudhakar K said on Monday.

He also said those who came in contact with Yediyurappa in a couple of programmes in the past week are being traced.

Sudhakar, a medical doctor himself, said Yediyurappa has "very mild cough and his chest is clear."

"I think eight to ten days," he told news agency when asked how long the Chief Minister would have to remain in hospital.

Sudhakar said he is also getting himself tested as a few of his office staff had tested positive.

"All those who met the Chief Minister in the last 3-4 days...ideally they should be quarantined till they receive their results/report. Those who came in contact with him in a couple of programmes will have to isolate themselves and subject themselves for testing," the Minister said.

On the Chief Minister meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala, along with Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai last Friday, Sudhakar said as a result "They also become primary contacts. Ideally, they should also be quarantined and tested."

Yediyurappa who was hospitalised on Sunday night after testing positive for Covid-19 was "doing well" and is "clinically stable", the hospital treating him said.

The 77-year old leader is being monitored by a team of doctors at the Manipal hospital here.

"He is doing well, is clinically stable and will be monitored closely by our team," the hospital said in a statement late last night.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on the recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," Yediyurappa had said in his tweet.

Yediyurappa was in home quarantine a couple of weeks ago, after some staff members in his home office were found infected with the virus. Subsequently, he tested negative for Covid-19.
