Hindus urged to accommodate sants, sadhus during Udupi Dharma Sansad

Udupi, Nov 8: Around 2,500 sants and sadhus are expected to participate in the Dharma Sansad to be held here from November 24 to 26, according to M.B. Puranik, general secretary of the Reception Committee of the three day meet.

Addressing a press conference here, Mr. Puranik said that besides attending the Dharma Sansad, the sants and sadhus were expected to turn out in large numbers because this was the historic fifth Paryaya of Vishwesha Tirtha of Pejawar Mutt.

But accommodating such a large number of sants and sadhus was a challenge. Already, the reception committee had made arrangements for accommodation of about 1,200 sants and sadhus in houses.

But another 800 sants and sadhus had to be accommodated. Members of the Hindu community in the city should voluntarily come forward to accommodate these holy men.

This was not the first time that such an appeal was being made. He recalled that when the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) held a convention here in 1968, such an appeal was made to people to host the sadhus and sants. The people of the temple town had voluntarily come forward and accommodated them, Mr. Puranik said.

P. Vilas Nayak, president of district unit of the VHP, said that ideally such houses should be located within a 15-km radius of the city so that the sants and sadhus could be brought to the venue of the Dharma Sansad daily during the three days of the convention. It would be the responsibility of the house owners who hosted the sants and sadhus to bring them to the venue and take them back on the three days.

Those interested in hosting the sants and sadhus, may call the following phone numbers: 0820-2524641, 9060526477 or 9945363495, he said.

Many disgruntled BJP leaders met me: Siddaramaiah

News Network

June 4,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 4: Karnataka opposition leader Siddaramaiah created a flutter on Wednesday saying many disgruntled BJP leaders had met him.

"Many disgruntled BJP lawmakers have met me and, of course, expressed their displeasure," tweeted Siddaramaiah.

Congress leader Siddaramaiah''s statements assume significance as recently several reports emerged highlighting some north Karnataka legislators meeting over dinner to put pressure on Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa to expand the cabinet and offer them ministerial roles.

North Karnataka leaders such as Umesh V. Katti, Chitradurga MLA G. H. Thippareddy and Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal and others met over dinner.

However, the Chief Minister said he was too busy to even look at the dissidence because he is occupied with development work of the state and fighting Covid.

Siddaramaiah, the former chief minister, alleged that Yediyurappa''s son Vijayendra is functioning as a non-constitutional chief minister.

"This is true in the BJP. That dissent will continue. We are not responsible if the government collapses," he pointed out.

The Congress leader said Karnataka has stooped to the level of not being in a position to even pay salaries to its employees.

"The state was the first in economic discipline during our government. Now the government has no money to pay salaries to government employees. Not only the state but the entire country is financially bankrupt," he said.
