Bengaluru Feb 3: BJP State President Yeddyurappa on Friday accused the ruling Congress of making efforts to prevent people from reaching Palace Grounds, the venue of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pre-election rally in Bengaluru on February 4.

Speaking to reporters after reviewing the preparations for the rally, Yeddyurappa said the Congress' efforts will not materialise thanks, to the huge popularity of Modi among the people. The rally will be a "landmark" in Karnataka politics and an attendance of three to four lakh is expected, he said.

The BJP on Friday commenced a yajna to seek "divine intervention" for the protection of cow in Bengaluru.

The BJP cow protection cell started the "Ashtayama yajna" at Sathya Ganapathi Temple in JP Nagar and the ritual will conclude on Saturday.

According to the organisers, the yajna was being performed to create awareness among the people about the multi-dimensional importance of cow.

Good initiative, after the Yajna, let these thugs throw into Yajan Pit of Fire all owners, directors and senior officials  of 5 Major Beef exporting houses in India. Let them also throw into fire all those BJP Central & State leaders who are dependent on BEEF EXPORTERS' contribution of money for election expenses. Why cant these humbugs ask PAKODA leader to BAN BEEF EXPORT???  Karnataka will never tolerate these pathetic liars frustrating jokes.

Why are these politicians are so selective. Yajna for cow only for karnataka? Why not for Goa also. Coz they may loose election there. Shame on this people they bring politics in faith also and playing with sentiments of people.

Mangaluru, Feb 16: An elderly woman from Tamil Nadu was on Saturday reunited with her daughter and son after 14 years at the Mangaluru's White Doves destitute home.

"Mary only knew her name when she came here 10 years ago. Recently, she told us about her home town," Corrine Rusquinha, founder of White Doves told media.
Mary had gone missing 14 years ago from her hometown Kortampet in Tamil Nadu.

"Ten years ago, she was spotted by Mangaluru police who brought her to White Doves home late one evening. Initially, she could only speak Tamil, so it was presumed she was from Tamil Nadu. She was on psychiatric treatment," Rusquinha said.

A few days back, a visiting priest at the White Doves home spoke to Mary in Tamil and asked about her hometown.

"Surprisingly, she could recall the name of her hometown, following which the visiting priest contacted the pastor at Kortampet. Mary's family, including her daughter Gnana Anthony, who is a paramedic student in Coimbatore, was informed about Mary," she said.

Soon after, Gnana and her elder brother came to Mangaluru to take their mother back to their home.

Mary's husband Jhonson, who worked as a cook, had died within a year of losing his wife.
