Dharwad, Apr 18: Basavanand Swamiji of Sri Gurubasava Mahamane Mutt in Dharwad, who had decided to take a political plunge, has expressed disappointment over ticket denial by the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The visually impaired seer was hoping to contest from Kalghatagi constituency in Dharwad district. However, the BJP issued ticket to Mahesh Tenginkai.

Upset with this development, Basavanand Swami has said that he will concentrate on religious and social activities.

“I am very hurt at being denied a ticket. I now understand politics is not meant for me,” he added.

“I was inspired by Prime Miniser Narendra Modi and that’s why I had sought ticket from BJP”, he said.

The seer said he had already completed a “Desha Bhakti Jagruti Abhiyana”, which he had started on January 1 under which he had travelled 2,900 kilometres in Kalaghatagi constituency, focusing on patriotism, Swachh Bharat, water conservation, organic farming and anti-corruption campaign.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic. 

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow. 

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed. 

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time. 

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks. 

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.
