‘Mithun Rai is the best; deity warned me in my dream’: Poojary’s U-turn after a sound sleep

Mangaluru, Mar 25: Former union minister B Janardhana Poojary, who had yesterday predicted the defeat of Congress and blessed Dakshina Kannada BJP candidate Nalin Kumar Kateel, today took a complete U-turn and endorsed Congress candidate Mithun Rai.

“Mithun Rai is THE BEST. He is suitable candidate for Dakshina Kannada. After a long deliberation, Congress has fielded him from this seat. He is the winning candidate,” said 82-year-old Congress veteran, who was one of the ticket aspirants from Dakshina Kannada.

Mr Poojary spoke to media persons after Mithun Rai, ahead of filing nomination papers, visited Sri Gokarnanatheshwara Temple at Kudroli and touched former’s feet seeking his blessings.

The Octogenarian went on to claim that the temple’s deity visited him in dream last night and warned him. “He came in my dream last night and said: ‘You have become arrogant. You are asleep. Wake up’,” Mr Poojary said pointing the finger at the deity.

“Now, Mithun Rai is going to seek the blessings of the people. I will also join him,” said Mr Poojary, who had earlier threatened to rebel against Congress if it fielded candidates like M N Rajendra Kumar and Ivan D’Souza.

Mangaluru, June 22: A chartered flight from Dammam with more than 170 stranded Saudi Kannadiga passengers landed at Mangaluru International Airport at 8.53 pm. 

The flight was chartered by Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum (SKHF), an unregistered NGO, which was formed recently to help the Kannadigas stranded in Saudi Arabia due to covid-19 lockdown under the leadership of Zakariya Jokatte, president of Jubail unit of Bearys Chamber of Commerce and Industry and KS Sheikh Karnire, Director of Expertise Contracting Co. Ltd, Saudi Arabia.

There were 165 adults and 8 infants on board the IndiGo flight. All the passengers were screened at the airport. They will be dispatched to quarantine centres after completing formalities. 

SKHF had launched an online portal to assist those who were in need of emergency repatriation such as elderly people, those who lost their jobs, pregnant women and those who are in need of emergency medical treatment back home in India. 

SKHF coordinated with the authorities concerned to carry out all the formalities and legal procedures in Saudi Arabia. SKHF members were present at the Dammam Airport to help the passengers during the departure. 

Mr Jokatte and Mr Sheikh have thanked U T Khader, Mangaluru MLA and Dr Arathi Krishna, former deputy chairperson of NRI forum of government of Karnataka, for their help in chartering the flight.

Bengaluru, Apr 4: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday asked Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar to be the government's spokesperson on the Novel Coronavirus crisis management effort, a move that is being seen as keeping too many cooks from spoiling the broth.

At a high-level meeting to review measures on COVID-19 containment, Mr Yediyurappa is said to have taken exception to his Cabinet colleagues making multiple, and often contradictory statements, leading to confusion.

''The CM has directed Mr Kumar to be the only one to brief the media on COVID-19,'' a source from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) confirmed.
