BJP leaders including PM Modi shedding only crocodile tears for Dalits welfare
Mangaluru: Rajya Sabha member Kumari Selja alleged that BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, were shedding crocodile tears for the welfare of Dalits.
Addressing a press conference at Dakshina Kannada District Congress Bhavan, she said that actions of the BJP leaders, including PM Modi, are different from what they say. The BJP leaders say they have great respect for Dr. BR Ambedkar. But in reality, they do not respect Dalits. The Supreme Court's recent verdict on Dalits has proved it. "If the BJP and the Center had responded in time, then such verdict would not have come from the Supreme Court," she added.
Violence on Dalits and women are increasing across the country. The government has not been able to cut it. In the budget, the NDA and the BJP-ruled states are not able to provide sufficient funds for Dalits' welfare. RSS' agendas are being applied on Dalits," Kumari Salja said.
She further said "BJP's stand evidently comes forth If we take Unnao and Kathua cases. The BJP leaders and the representatives who were part of the administration were supposed to provide justice to victims of the case. Instead, they are protecting the accused. BJP leaders including PM Modi raise nice slogans, but they do not practice them."
AICC media spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill, former Maharashtra minister Suresh Shetty, party leader Santosh Shetty and others were present.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
