Udupi, February 9: Former Udupi MLA UR Sabhapathi, at a meeting of his followers held here on Wednesday formally announced his decision to join JD(S).

He said that he would meet JD(S) President HD Kumaraswamy and join the party in the presence of Devegowda and Kumaraswamy soon.

He would also take up a paadyathra in the district in March to galvanize the party and hold a mega convention of the party workers.

Sabhapathi questioned the amassing of wealth by Congress leader Oscar Fernandes. He said, “I brought Oscar to politics and former MP Manoram Madhwaraj questioned that move. At that time Oscar had a 'dabba' van, which we rebuilt for the party purpose. Six years back, during the last Rajya Sabha election, Oscar has disclosed his property to be Rs 6 crores. Today he has sites, flats in Bangalore. His property is worth Rs 15 crores. Where did he get all this from?,” Sabhapathi questioned.

Corruption in the state is not new. In 1965 itself the then Udupi MLA had encroached the government to build a factory, Sabhapathi said.

Former Mangalore Deputy Mayor Basheer Baikampady, former Co-operative leader Annaya Sherigar, former teacher Raghavendra Malpe, District JD(S) president Deviprasad Shetty, JD(S) Mahila Morcha President Shalini Shetty, State Yuva Morcha General Secretary Dilesh Shetty and others were present.

New Delhi, Mar 26: While the humans are on lockdown and spending time with their families, animals are free and without any fear roaming around on the otherwise busy roads. From Malabar civets to large Indian bisons, animals are enjoying this time.

Indian Forest Officer Susanta Nanda recently shared a video with the caption, "Indian bison( the gaur) goes for a street walk. The largest extant Bovine, is native to South and Southeast Asia. It can be very aggressive. Rare to see in markets."

The 8-second video shows the large animal freely walking in the market area of Chikmagalur district, Karnataka, while the few onlookers on the road get aside and watch the Bison with utmost amazement.

The videos of animals having a gala time on the roads have become common. After the video was posted online, it became a hit. The clip garnered over 3.1k views and over 100 retweets.
