Worship Hanuman, not Tipu Sultan: Yogi Adityanath’s message to Kannadigas

News Network

December 22, 2017

In an apparent attempt to divide society on communal lines ahead of 2018 Karnataka Assembly polls, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of trying to convert Karnataka, “the land of Bajarang Bali”, into “a land of worshippers of Tipu Sultan”.

After inaugurating the BJP's district-level Parivartana Yatra convention at Nehru Stadium in Hubballi, Adityanath called upon the Kannadigas to bring a government that supports worship of Hanuman and not Tipu Sultan.

He not just lauded the 'development model' of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but also charged that the Congress government in the State is not at all interested in development, but is just dividing the society on caste and religion basis.

"When Lord Hanuman is being worshiped across the country, the Congress government in Karnataka, the State known for Vijayanagar Empire, is promoting worship of Tipu Sultan. The Congress is insulting our rich tradition. 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," Adityanath observed.

He alleged that Congress leaders were trying to divide society on the lines of caste in Karnataka, like they did in Gujarat, and people should give them a befitting reply by rejecting them.

Adityanath then went on to accuse Mr. Siddaramaiah of “lowering the dignity of the Chief Minister’s post” by failing to respect public sentiment regarding eating beef.

Visits Mutt

Earlier in the day, Adityanath visited Moorusavira Mutt. After having the darshan of Gurusiddheshwar Gadduge, he met Moorusaviramutt pontiff Sri Gurusiddha Rajayogindra Swamiji.

When Yogi Adityanath arrived at the convention venue, the crowd there raised 'Yogi, Yogi' slogan. Elaborate security arrangements were made as he has Z Plus security cover.

Thousands of people attended the BJP convention, and some of them came in processions too, led by some BJP leaders. BJP banners, buntings and hoardings dotted the City.

After the event, traffic congestion was experienced at Chennamma Circle, Court Circle, Ambedkar Circke, Desai Cross, and other areas.

Many people had come with a curiosity about the announcement regarding Mahadayi dispute. Later, several Mahadayi agitator expressed discontent, saying that a mere letter from Goa CM would do nothing.

My Dear HINDU BROTHER & SISTER,

this is really really bad that in hindu communities there is no good preacher about sanatan dharm.

only third class lofar like yogi who put orange dress to fool people in the name of religion. and say all bad thing to do.

God is one and in all form, so worship only one god in your heart not the man made god.

Dear Yogi, first be a true indian before preaching Kannadigas whom they have to respect and pray. No need to tell us anything. Your own state is in darkness and how come you will enlighten Karnataka. Your state is number one in killing of Dalits/ minorities / girls etc etc. You are spreading hate among the people. You are not worth to be a CM.

June 11,2020

Mangaluru, June 11: The Saudi Arabia based Expertise Contracting Company, which is repatriating its employees to India and other countries, today allocated around 90 seats of one of its chartered flights to Kannadigas stranded in Saudi Arabia.

The Gulf Air flight took off with around 175 passengers on board from Dammam International Airport around noon local time. It is expected to land at Mangaluru International Airport at around 7 p.m. Indian time.

In fact the company had chartered the flights only to repatriate its employees. However, due to the lack of special flights under Vande Bharati Mission, the company decided to help the other stranded Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia, who had approached Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum for help.

A company official said that around 2,000 employees from various countries in the Indian subcontinent are being repatriated, of which 1,665 are Indians. Already hundreds of them have reached India, and hundreds are still waiting for repatriation.

“We are grateful to Expertise for allowing to travel in the flight which the company had chartered to repatriate its own employees,” said one of the passengers before boarding the flight at the airport.

Director of Expertise, KS Shaikh said the 20-year-old Expertise group, one of the largest conglomerates in the GCC operating in petrochemical and heavy equipment sectors, has more than 10,000 employees and their family members in the Gulf, mainly in Jubail, one of the largest industrial cities.

Of these, the company has chosen over 2,000 employees for the covid-related repatriations considering various emergencies. He said 12 chartered flights have been engaged to carry out the repatriation exercise to the Indian subcontinent.
