New Delhi, Mar 31: A day after former chief minister S M Krishna's meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi, senior Congress leader Mallikarjuna Kharge on Wednesday said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should convene the Congress Legislature Party meeting immediately and take the party's view on the decision to set up the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

KHARGEKharge's statement gains significance as Krishna, at the meeting, cautioned about the decision to set up the ACB.

The chief minister should clarify the doubts about the ACB in the party forum and put an end to the controversy, Kharge told Deccan Herald.

“Congress always favoured a strong Lokpal to fight corruption. This is my stand also,” he said.

The State government has formed the ACB, which exists in 15 states. However, before taking such a decision, the chief minister should have discussed the pros and cons in the party forum, he said.

Dismissing charges that he had supported the move to “weaken” the Lokayukta, Kharge said he had never indulged in such activities.

Neither did he support the ACB nor had he given any suggestions on it, Kharge, Congress party leader in the Lok Sabha, said.

Dismissing media speculations that he had supported the ACB after his recent meeting with the chief minister, Kharge said that he was not at all a party to this controversy.

Earlier, senior Congress leader Janardhana Poojary had suggested the chief minister to reconsider the decision to set up the ACB.

Udupi, Feb 8: A rare sixth century granite idol of ‘Lajja Gauri’ has been discovered fixed on the road in Barkur village of Udupi district, according to information furnished by Dr. Shivakant Bajpai, Superintending Archaeologist of ASI Bangalore Circle. Lajja Gauri is depicted in nude form and is said to be a fertility symbol. The idol is rare, though very popular among certain cults.

Dr Shivakant Bajpai, who is on a tour of the coastal districts, said that he first came across the image when it went viral on social media. He subsequently traced it to a public road in Barkur, which is an ancient historical town of coastal Karnataka. It was the ancient capital of the Alupa kingdom and a seat of power for several centuries.

“This is a very important idol and hundreds of vehicles pass over it every day. We are rescuing it and I have issued an order to my local in-charge to keep it in safe custody. I have also sent a mail in this regard to the DC and SP of the district,” he said.

The idol is likely to be of 6th or 7th century, though further study is required to confirm a date, Dr. Bajpai said.

Lajja Gauri is a lotus-headed Hindu deity associated with abundance, fertility and sexuality, sometimes euphemistically described as Lajja ("modesty").
