‘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.

Bengaluru, Feb 26: Karnataka Minister CT Ravi on Wednesday said that time is ripe to bring in Uniform Civil Code in the country as there was a demand for "equality".

"Everyone talks about equality. Those who desired inequality in the past are now seeking equality. The time is ripe to bring Uniform Civil Code," he said.

The Minister said that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has been a part of the party's agenda since the time when BJP was formed in 1980.

"We spoke about article 370, we have done it, on Ayodhya issue, the Supreme Court has given its verdict. As the time comes we will do it," he said.

Kasaragod, May 25: An autorickshaw driver from Belur in Kasaragod was admitted for surgery to a hospital after being hit on the head by a falling jackfruit. He was tested positive for the coronavirus. It is not clear how he contracted the viral infection.

“While he was trying to pluck a jackfruit off a tree, one of them fell on him, injuring his spine. His hands and legs were weakened too. His condition required surgery. Our protocol dictates that we subject everyone who require immediate surgery to the covid test, just to be sure. That’s when he tested positive,” said Dr K Sudeep, superintendent of the Pariyaram Medical College in Kannur.

“He had symptoms of Covid-19. But he has no recent travel history or contact with any infected person. We’re not sure if he got it through one of his passengers in the rickshaw. He had visited the district hospital once so he could have got it from there. Anyway, we are examining it and preparing the route maps,” he added.

His family will be quarantined and health workers have begun to trace his immediate primary contacts.

Though there have been a number of cases in Kerala where a person’s source of infection could not be correctly ascertained, such people have gone on to recover without spreading the infection to others.

The Kerala government is conducting testing of high-risk persons on the frontlines, such as police officials, grocery vendors and health workers, as part of its sentinel surveillance programme, but maintains that there’s little evidence of a community spread in the state.
