BJP uses Hindus and Hindutva only for election: Shiv Sena
Udupi: Shiv Sena candidate from Udupi Assembly constituency Madhukara Mudradi said on Thursday that the BJP uses Hindus and Hindutva only for election purposes and later forgets about them.
Addressing reporters here, he said it was because of the BJP’s constant neglect of the cause of Hindutva that the Shiv Sena had fielded 40 candidates in the State, including in Udupi seat.
He said leaders such as Praveen Togadia, Pramod Muthalik and L.K. Advani, who had fought for the cause of Hindutva, have been suppressed by the BJP.
Mudradi said “it was Mr. Hegde who had been a stumbling block to the development of BJP when he was the district in-charge Minister.”

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.
