Mangalore, October 31: The Jan Chetana Yatra of Bharatiya Janata Party leader LK Advani on Monday entered coastal Karnataka amid tight security, as he flew into Mangalore airport amidst bright sunshine from Bangalore.

With Advani arriving in Mangalore as part of his anti-corruption campaign, the city has played host to all his three major yatras over the last two decades.

Party workers burst crackers at various junctions including the Hampankatta signal junction as a mark of jubilation minutes before the arrival of Advani.

Mr Advani arrived here by a special aircraft from Bangalore along with his daughter Pratibha Advani, and senior leaders of the party.

After landing at Mangalore Airport at around 11:00 am, the former deputy prime minister proceded via Nanthoor to Nehru Maidan, where he was given a rousing welcome.

At the same time thousands of BJP workers took out padayatras from Lady Hill, Mangaladevi and Jyothi Circle to the convention venue.

As part of Advani's yatra, the BJP Yuva Morcha carried out a two-wheeler rally from Mangala Stadium to the Nehru Maidan at 9 am. The rally passed through Lalbagh-PVS Circle-Navbharath Circle-K S Rao Road before reaching the venue.

From Mangalore, Mr Advani will travel to Udupi, where he will address a public meeting at 3 p.m. before proceeding toMurdeshwar. The senior leader will stay overnight at the town before continuing his journey next morning to Karwar on the way to Goa.

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
