Bengaluru, Nov 2: Hardline Hindutva crusader and Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde received a rousing welcome at the launch of the BJP Parivartan Yatra in the city on Thursday.

This set off speculation in the inner circles of the party that he may be made the chief minister if the BJP gets a majority after next year's elections. This was prior to the arrival of the party's national president Amit Shah to inaugurate the rally.

However, the speculation was brushed aside by BJP leaders, who said 75-year-old B S Yeddyurappa was still their chief ministerial candidate and there was no change in it.

Hegde, who represents Uttara Kannada parliamentary constituency, is known for hate speeches and controversies.

In February 2016, Anant kumar Hedge had stated in a press conference in his constituency that Islam should be wiped out from the world. Police had registered a suo motu case against him for his provocative remarks.

In January 2017, the local police registered another suo motu case against Anant kumar Hedge for assaulting doctors and other staff of a private hospital in Sirsi town in his constituency. CCTV footage of him assaulting the doctors had gone viral.

Bengaluru: Man kills porcupine, makes video; held

March 2,2020

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Killing an Indian porcupine and inviting his TikTok followers to view it proved costly for a 25-year-old man from Kalaburagi. Forest department officials tracked him down and arrested him on Sunday morning.

Manjunath Biryalhissa, a resident of Jewargi taluk, was famous for his various TikTok videos and for lifting heavy stones in his village and neighbouring areas.

According to forest officials, on Friday, Manjunath and his friends caught a porcupine in Sindagi range, Vijayapura and stoned it to death. Later, they fried and cooked it. Manjunath then made an 18-second video, where he spoke about the porcupine hunt and slaughter, besides inviting his followers to like the video and join him in the feast.

The video was on TikTok and Facebook. Wildlife activists who found the video alerted forest department officials.

“Porcupine comes under schedule four of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Keeping this video as evidence we were able to trace him through his Facebook account, where he had shared details of his hometown,” said forest officials.
