‘UB City assault victim is not BJP worker’: Amit Shah admits his blunder

Mangaluru, Feb 20: Hours after calling UB City assault victim a ‘BJP worker’, the saffron party supremo Amit Shah on Tuesday candidly admitted that his statement was far from the truth.

Shah, who is touring coastal Karnataka as part of BJP’s campaign for upcoming Karnataka assembly polls, earlier in the day had referred to Vidwath, who was thrashed by Shantinagar Congress MLA NA Haris’ son Mohammed Nalapad and others at Farzi Café in Bengaluru’s UB City over a trivial issue, as a ‘BJP worker’.

Shah’s statement had embarrassed Karnataka BJP as the family members of Vidwath made it clear that he was not part of any political outfit.

Replying to the queries of media persons at Surathkal, on the outskirts of the city, Amit Shah admitted that his statement was wrong. “What I said is wrong. He is not a BJP worker,” Shah said.

However, he maintained that chief minister Siddaramaiah-led Congress government was selectively targeting BJP workers in Karnataka.

According to sources, union minister DV Sadananda Gowda, who was present with the party chief, reportedly advised the latter to withdraw his statement to avert a potential controversy.

‘Lajja Gauri’ idol discovered on roadside at Barkur

Udupi, Feb 8: A rare sixth century granite idol of ‘Lajja Gauri’ has been discovered fixed on the road in Barkur village of Udupi district, according to information furnished by Dr. Shivakant Bajpai, Superintending Archaeologist of ASI Bangalore Circle. Lajja Gauri is depicted in nude form and is said to be a fertility symbol. The idol is rare, though very popular among certain cults.

Dr Shivakant Bajpai, who is on a tour of the coastal districts, said that he first came across the image when it went viral on social media. He subsequently traced it to a public road in Barkur, which is an ancient historical town of coastal Karnataka. It was the ancient capital of the Alupa kingdom and a seat of power for several centuries.

“This is a very important idol and hundreds of vehicles pass over it every day. We are rescuing it and I have issued an order to my local in-charge to keep it in safe custody. I have also sent a mail in this regard to the DC and SP of the district,” he said.

The idol is likely to be of 6th or 7th century, though further study is required to confirm a date, Dr. Bajpai said.

Lajja Gauri is a lotus-headed Hindu deity associated with abundance, fertility and sexuality, sometimes euphemistically described as Lajja ("modesty").
