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

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.

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.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that when COVID-19 has made life and livelihoods difficult, it is unfortunate that charges have been levelled of irregularities in the procurement of COVID-19 equipment.

"The Congress which has levelled charges against the ruling BJP has not so far filed a complaint with any investigating agency. Instead, the Congress has limited itself to getting publicity. On the other hand, the ruling BJP instead of coming clean by ordering a probe into the main charges is indirectly admitting the scam," Kumaraswamy said on Sunday.

"By washing dirty linen in public, both the Congress and the BJP are playing a cruel joke on people instead of protecting their lives," he said.

Hitting out at the BJP, he asked, "Why is it that the BJP is not ordering an investigation into the Rs 2,000 crore Covid 19 corruption charges levelled against the government by the Congress? Why is the government keeping quiet on the corruption charges?"

He said, "Is this the leadership provided by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa? There could be political pressure on seeking resignation of his Ministers. But why has no action been initiated against any officers? Is there any effort to destroy the evidence by retaining officers in their existing postings?"

"Hunger for publicity is evident when we look at the press conference by five Ministers at a time," he said.

The government has countered the charges of the Congress but backtracked on ordering an investigation, he said.

"Would this not give rise to suspicion that the government is involved in the scam?" he asked.

He also asked why Congress leaders have not filed a complaint before any investigating agency despite "possessing documents to prove the charges".

"Are the Congress leaders trying to get publicity or are they concerned about the welfare of the people? The Congress Legislative Party leader is seeking an account (Lekka Kodi) while the BJP president is seeking answers (Uttara Kodi). Is it enough to give such questions and answers?"

Is there a concrete legal plan to deal with the irregularities? he asked.

"Looking at the way the Congress leaders have addressed media conferences and taken to social media campaigns, it appears that they are trying to get publicity," he said.

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.

Mangaluru, Jul 2: Mangaluru BJP Corporator Manohar Shetty, who entered a manhole to clean a drain, said that he did it to avoid waterlogging ahead of monsoon as people were facing several problems for the past few years.

"In my ward, there is a rainwater drain at Kadri Kambla junction and for the past few years, there was a waterlogging problem due to trash water used to collect and vehicles used to find it difficult to pass in that area," Shetty said.

"Since there was a lot of trash it had to be cleared to avoid waterlogging. We changed our dresses, and then I along with my three party workers entered manhole and cleared the trash," he said.

The Mangaluru BJP Corporator further said that it was not a publicity stunt, and he cleaned the drain to solve the problem of people. "During elections, I had promised people to get the drain cleaned. Since monsoon was coming; something had to be done; we did not do it for publicity but to solve a problem," he said.
