Chitradurga Mar 15: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday said that the countdown for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's regime had begun.

He was speaking at the inauguration of various development projects at Hosadurga.

"The BJP received a severe setback in the Uttar Pradesh and Bihar Lok Sabha assembly by-elections as it lost four of the five seats, including the all-important Gorakhpur and Phulpur seats in Uttar Pradesh. This indicates that the people no longer trust Modi as he often tells lies," Siddaramaiah charged.

The BJP suffered a setback on the home turf of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath while losing deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya's constituency too. Samajwadi Party candidates have clinched a win in both Gorakhpur and Phulpur constituencies. The voters in Uttar Pradesh have favoured the Samajwadi party. With the results, the countdown for Modi to step down has begun, he said.

Vijayapura, June 16: Even as a video of a man wearing a burqa who is being thrashed by locals is going viral on social media, netizens targeted Bharatiya Janata Party for their activist resorting to heinous acts.

The man who was caught in burqa has been identified as Siddu Paragond, an activist of Snagh Parivar hailing from Sindgi town in Karnataka’s Vijayapura district.

The bizarre incident took place in Sindgi on June 11 outside a bank.

“While people including women were standing in a queue outside the bank, the person in burqa was acting in a suspicious manner. The person was trying to get too close to women which was making them feel awkward,” local residents said.

“Getting suspicious, some locals tried to interact and their suspicion rose with the strange behaviour of the person. Suddenly some men took the person away from the bank and checked only to find that it was a man in burqa. The men thrashed him and handed him over to police,” the sources said.

Confirming this, Superintendent of Police Anupam Agrawal said that the Siddu Paragond has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody. He, however, made it clear that no suspicious objects were found on Siddu. “We are trying to find out the motive for his act,” the SP said.
