Bangaluru, Sept 19: Sandalwood superstar Upendra, who had to move out of newly formed Karnataka Pragnyavantara Janata Paksha (KPJP) around six months ago, on Tuesday officially launched his ‘own’ Uttama Prajaakeeya Party (UPP) to mark his birth day.

As the acronym of the new political party – UPP – is similar to his nickname ‘Uppi’ and sensing the possibility of it turning out to be more about Upendra himself, the actor in a cinematic fashion let the ‘I’ burn out to say the party belonged to everyone.

Though the launch was a low-profile affair, the occasion coincided with his birthday. The party’s manifesto is based on concept of ART (Accountability, Responsibility, Transparency) of governance.

Mr. Upendra has launched UPP when the polls to the Lok Sabha are just eight months away. There was speculation that UPP will field its candidates.

Rumours are doing rounds that Upendra might contest from the Bengaluru South constituency in 2019 Lok Sabha polls as UPP candidate. However, he is yet to take a call, sources said.

“We have spent a lot of time in getting the party registered and launching it officially. We have not yet decided on whether to contest in Lok Sabha polls,” said Upendra adding that he was not power hungry.

Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), May 19: Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa asking Muslims to offer their Eid prayers this time at home, instead of congregating at mosques.

The directive comes amid a nationwide lockdown to slow down the spread of coronavirus.

Despite the relaxations announced in the lockdown, religious and other large gatherings are still banned.

The fatwa was issued in response to a query put to the seminary, its spokesman Ashraf Usmani said.

The fatwa said the Eid namaz can be offered in the same manner that the Friday prayers are now being read at home.

It said not holding the namaz in the usual manner is pardonable in circumstances such as these.

Shivamogga, Aug 9: Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi on Saturday virtually inaugurated Malgudi Museum at Arasalu in Karantaka's Shivamogga.

The old station building at Arasalu has been converted into museum.
BJP MP from Shivamogga BY Raghavendra said that the old station building at Arasalu has been renovated keeping with 'Malgudi' theme in mind.

"It is a tribute to the makers of the popular television serial 'Malgudi Days' as the station features predominantly in the episodes which broadcast on Doordarshan in the 1980s," he said.

The museum has been designed by a famous artist John Devraj, who was the part of the serial Malgudi Days. The Mysore Divisional Railway funded the museum.

"The approach road and station area wear a new transformed look. The innovative idea of having a tea-shop in a narrow gauge coach at Arasalu station adds charm to the green surroundings," the MP said.

"Popular and internationally acclaimed serial Malgudi Days was shot here in Arasalu. The SWR Mysore division manager Aparna Garg helped to transform the station to fictional village Malgudi," he added.

The museum is about 30 km from Shivamogga city. It has steam engines and bogies besides collections of photographs hanging on the wall taken during the time of shooting for Malgudi Days.
