‘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.

Mysuru, Jul 19: Residents in the vicinity of the Chamundeshwari temple alleged VVIP racism against the administration for allowing BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje for a special visit there on Friday.

Even though the district collector had ordered the closure of temple visits due to the COVID pandemic, an exception was made for VVIPs.
The BJP leader claimed that she visited the temple on Thursday evening but the temple officials confirmed that she visited the temple on Friday at 7 am. It is her routine every year to visit the temple on the last Friday of Ashada Masa.

Locals, who tried get darshan of Chamundi Devi, were barred by the police leading to an altercation between locals and cops at the entrance to the temple.

Ashada Masa is considered an auspicious occasion and it is a belief among politicians that for the longevity of their political career, they need to visit Chamundeshwari temple every last Friday of Ashada Masa.

Remember social media memes of Chinese companies exporting #BoycottChina hats and t-shirts to India? This time India’s sensational and saffronite TV anchor Arnab Goswami vindicated those memes by hosting an anti-China debate show which was sponsored by Chinese companies!

While the last night's debate was all about boycotting Chinese products in the wake of massacre of over 20 Indian soldiers by their Chinese counterparts in eastern Ladakh, the show was brazenly promoting Chinese products through advertisement placements. 

During the debate, amongst the flashy headlines, there were two brand sponsorships that appeared: VIVO and Xiaomi. Both companies are giant Chinese multinational corporations. 

Twitter user Nirmala Tai, who was among those who spotted this irony, highlighted two instances during the debate where the logo of one of the brands popped up, and one where Xiaomi was found promoting the Mi 10. 

Many Twitterati used Goswami’s some of the favourite words such as ‘hypocrite’ and ‘anti-national’ to target him. They hit out at his channel for accepting sponsorship deals from Chinese brands at a time when anti-China sentiment is strong in the country.
