Prakash Raj taunts Yogi over his Tipu-Hanuman remarks in poll-bound Karnataka

Multilingual actor Prakash Raj has taken objection to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s insensitive remarks in poll-bound Karnataka wherein the latter apparently tried to divide society in the name of Tipu Sultan and Hanuman.

In a tweet, Prakash Raj said: "Yogi ji orders people of Karnataka “don’t celebrate tippu sultan in the land of hanuman” dear sir.. what’s your agenda again...#justasking" with a set of photos showing BJP functionaries and BS Yeddyurappa himself celebrating Tipu Jayanti, complete with the headgear Tipu was noted to wear.

Addressing a BJP rally in Hubballi on Thursday, Adityanath targeted the incumbent Congress government for celebrating Tipu Jayanti.

During his speech, Yogi said that "When Lord Hanuman is being worshipped across the country, the Congress government in Karnataka, the State known for Vijayanagar Empire, is promoting the worship of Tipu Sultan. The Congress is insulting our rich tradition. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should have respected the feelings of the people while making statements about beef consumption. With continuous murder and poor law and order situation, 'Rakshak' has become 'Bhakshak' here, and anarchy is prevailing."

Madikeri, Feb 23: Back-to-back floods and landslides in the last two years, has led to a fall in the number of tourists coming to the coffee-growing region of Kodagu, forcing the district administration to intervene and take confidence-building measures, telling tourists that Kodagu was safe to visit.

According to the statistics of the Karnataka State Tourism Department, Kodagu recorded a moderately good number of tourists in 2018 and 2019, the years that the district witnessed devastating floods and landslides.

The Department’s statistics reveal that 17 lakh tourists visited Kodagu in 2018 and 18 lakh in 2019. This means the flood-ravaged years did attract tourists contrary to what the stakeholders had claimed.

Bengaluru, Jan 8: The Karnataka high court on Tuesday directed the government to submit steps taken in respect of the order of Lokyukta in relation to the Kethaganahalli landgrab case involving former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, his relatives and former minister DC Thammanna.

A division bench headed by Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka gave the direction on a PIL filed by Samaj Parivartan Samudaya (SPS), an NGO. The petitioner said despite an order from the Lokayukta on August 5, 2014, to take action within 15 days, no action has been initiated till date in respect of encroachment of a huge tract of land in Kethaganahalli along Bengaluru-Mysuru highway.

SPS says the land was purchased in 1979 contrary to norms of Karnataka Land Revenue Act. It claims Kumaraswamy and others paid only Rs 5,000 per acre, although the prevailing market rate was Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 per acre.
