Bengaluru, Feb 14: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address at least four rallies in three weeks in poll-bound Karnataka.

According to sources, the PM will participate in BJP rally in Mysuru on February 19; in Davangere on February 27; in Bijapur on March 4; and in Raichur on March 13.

Top sources in the party said the Bijapur rally would take care of the Bombay-Karnataka region, which has 50 constituencies.

The Raichur rally would be important for the Hyderabad-Karnataka area, which has 31 constituencies.

“Party president Amit Shah will be in Karnataka for three days, from February 20, and will mostly travel around the coastal districts, where the BJP is strong but came a cropper in 2013. There are many issues to be addressed organisationally and politically there,” a senior source in the party said.

The northern parts of the State, where Mr. Modi will address the rallies, is dominated by the Lingayat community, a mainstay of support for the BJP and its chief ministerial candidate B.S. Yeddyurappa.

Certain sections have demanded that it be considered a minority community and not be classified as Hindus. Chief Minister Siddharamaiah has backed the plea, but the BJP has been maintaining a studied silence on it.

Several senior leaders from other parties are expected to join the BJP in the next few days, sources said.

Remember social media memes of Chinese companies exporting #BoycottChina hats and t-shirts to India? This time India’s sensational and saffronite TV anchor Arnab Goswami vindicated those memes by hosting an anti-China debate show which was sponsored by Chinese companies!

While the last night's debate was all about boycotting Chinese products in the wake of massacre of over 20 Indian soldiers by their Chinese counterparts in eastern Ladakh, the show was brazenly promoting Chinese products through advertisement placements. 

During the debate, amongst the flashy headlines, there were two brand sponsorships that appeared: VIVO and Xiaomi. Both companies are giant Chinese multinational corporations. 

Twitter user Nirmala Tai, who was among those who spotted this irony, highlighted two instances during the debate where the logo of one of the brands popped up, and one where Xiaomi was found promoting the Mi 10. 

Many Twitterati used Goswami’s some of the favourite words such as ‘hypocrite’ and ‘anti-national’ to target him. They hit out at his channel for accepting sponsorship deals from Chinese brands at a time when anti-China sentiment is strong in the country.

Mangaluru, Jan 1: On the first day of 2020, Bajpe Police became somewhat of a Guardian Angel for a college student, who was wandering around the city in the wee hours of Wednesday, convincing and escorting him to his home safely, after coming to know about his residence.

According to Bajpe Police Probationary Sub-Inspector Anita Nikkam and Police Officer Devappa Hosamani, they noticed a youth, hailing from Handelu in Todaru and studying in a college at Moodbidri, wandering at around 0245 hrs.

When asked about his whereabouts, the boy did not respond initially. However, police managed to collect his address and his mother's phone number after half an hour of interrogation.
