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.

Belagavi, Feb 10: In comments that raised eyebrows, Ramesh Jarkiholi, who quit the Congress and joined the BJP and who took oath as minister last week, said his brother Satish has a bright future. The two siblings have rarely seen eye-to-eye — at least in public — in recent times.

He also trained his gun on Congress leader DK Shivakumar, sarcastically thanking the Congress MLA for his meteoric rise. “Had Shivakumar not stood against me, I would not have emerged as a tall leader in the state. I must thank him,” Ramesh said.

The Gokak MLA said Satish of the Congress, the most politically-savvy of the five Jarkiholi siblings, would reach “the top” in his political career. However, he advised him “to inculcate patience and adopt strategies”. “He should make his moves at the right time as timing is very important in politics,” Ramesh said.

He also urged Satish to keep his supporters happy. “Many of his followers are disappointed with his leadership because he does not extend a helping hand to his own people. In the present political climate, people do not endorse a leader who only talks about Buddha and Basava,” Ramesh said.

Ramesh took a dig at Lakan, the youngest sibling, saying, “Lakan speaks ill about me most of the time. He does not understand much. But we brothers are one when it comes to family. We are united when it comes to family matters, but when it comes to politics, we are at loggerheads.”
