Udupi, Dec 1: Around 16 years ago, the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had inaugurated the renovated the Rajangana hall of Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple during the fourth Paryaya (2000-02) of Pejawar Mutt chief pontiff Vishwesha Tirtha Swami. Now the same hall is being renovated again and the seer desire is to get it inaugurated by the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Speaking to presspersons on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of his sanyasa sweekar function here, the 87-year-old Pejawar seer said that the renovation of Rajangana was going on and was expected to be completed in another 10 days.

The Rajangana Hall was being renovated at an estimated cost of Rs. 3 crore. The first floor on its top would be called Madhwangana. “We have already approached Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, for its inauguration, but we are yet to get their confirmed reply,” he said. Asked if he had invited the PM, the seer said that he had already informed the top brass of the government. It was Vajpayee who inaugurated the renovated hall on January 18, 2001. Since another floor was coming up on it, it would be fitting that Mr Modi inaugurated it.

Asked if any of his planned projects in his present fifth Paryaya were pending, the seer said that while he had been successful in get some of the projects implemented, some others had remained. But he would complete them after descending from the Paryaya Peetha.

He had completed all the projects related to the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple during his present Paryaya. He had got the “pauli” of the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple renovated and also constructed a choultry here. He had started a college at Pajaka, for which Rs. 12 crore had been spent.

Besides, the All India Sanskrit Conference and the Dharma Sansad had been held during this Paryaya. “I had plans to adopt some villages and promote development there. But it did not fructify,” he said. Asked how he was feeling on his 80th anniversary of sanyasa sweekara, the seer said that God had given him a long life. “I thank God for it. It is all his grace. I have no role in it,” the seer said.

Mangaluru, Jun 3: A banner that read "Veer Savarkar Flyover Pumpwell" surfaced on the sidewall of the Pumpwell flyover in Mangaluru on Tuesday night.

It is suspected that activists of Bajrang Dal put up the controversial banner. Though it was removed later, it sparked debates on social media and photos of it went viral.

The development comes amid the controversy over the naming of a flyover at Yelahanka in Bengaluru after Savarkar.

A Hindutva ideologue, Savarkar has tendered apology to British imperialists and pledged to support them following his arrest during India’s freedom movement.

Jun 19: BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday said Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray should sign an agreement with neighbouring Karnataka to avoid a repeat of flood in part of the state like it happened in August last year.

In August 2019, Kolhapur, Sangli districts and some other parts of the state faced unprecedented floods triggered by huge release of water from dams in western Maharashtra and from the Almatti dam in Karnataka.

Fadnavis said, The Maharashtra chief minister should hold an urgent meeting with the Karnataka chief minister and enter into an agreement over-discharge of water from the Almatti dam located on the border of both the states."

If water is not released from the Almatti dam in time, it will cause flooding in border areas of Maharashtra such as Kolhapur and Sangli.

"A pact between the two states would benefit both as it would help in keeping water levels in control, the former chief minister said.

The dams in the state already have sizeable water stock. It would be better if the chief minster schedules a meeting with the Karnataka chief minister regarding the same (agreement), the Leader of Opposition in the assembly said.
