Mangaluru, Apr 23: Hardline Hindutva leader Sathyajith Surathkal has publicly slammed Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and RSS Prantha Pramukh P S Prakash for allegedly preventing the party high command from issuing him the ticket.
Sathyajith, who is also BJP Backward Classes Morcha State Secretary, was the party ticket aspirant from Mangaluru City North constituency apart from former minister Krishna J Palemar. However, in a surprise move the party has issued B Form to young candidate Dr Bharath Shetty.
Speaking at a meeting of his supporters at Hosabettu in Surathkal on Sunday, he said, “Mr Kateel and Mr Prakash are also responsible for the denial of ticket to me. I have been working for the Sangha for the last 35 years. My followers are pressurising me to contest as an independent candidate.”
He gave an ultimatum to the party high command to change their decision, saying he would wait till 10 am on April 23. “After 10 am on Monday, I will decide my future course of action.”
He sought the reason for denial of ticket and said: “I do not believe the statement that party tickets have been issued based on a survey. I do not believe that the decision to finalise the ticket was taken by BJP National President.”
“I had worked hard for the victory of Mr Kateel during the last Lok Sabha election. It was the party workers who nurtured me,” he said.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.
