Coastal Karnataka is becoming home for country's traitors: Anant Kumar Hegde
Karwar: Controversial BJP leader and Uttara Kannada MP Anant Kumar Hegde on Tuesday once again stoked controversy when he said the Coastal Karnataka was becoming absolutely traitor of the country.
Speaking at a convention of backward classes in Siddapur of Uttara Kannada district, the BJP MP said the traitors were taking advantage of the development here.
“We have lost Mangaluru completely from our hands. Now the whole of Coast is becoming home to traitors,” he said at the event.
“In the name of development, people from Kerala have become a major problem in Mangaluru. They are not bothered by locals, they are bothered by these people from Kerala. We must be the beneficiaries of the development of our hometowns. Kerala is taking advantage of the development in Mangaluru. And we locals are moving elsewhere and work for meager salaries” he added.
“I have spoken about development here for a long time, but couldn’t take any measures to ensure that. Now I will make sure the Uttara Kannada district is developed. We will establish a port like Mangalore here in the district, and an Airport will also be constructed here. We will transform the district now,” he further added.

Two girls injured in separate wolf attacks in UP's Bahraich
Bahraich (UP) (PTI): Two minor girls were injured in separate incidents of wolf attacks in the Bahraich district, forest department officials said on Saturday.
In the first incident on Friday, Anushka Nishad (5), daughter of Baliram from Mallahanpurwa village, was sleeping alone inside her house when a wolf entered and tried to carry her away, they said.
Hearing her screams, family members and villagers rushed to the spot. The wolf left the child, hearing the commotion, and ran towards the fields. The girl sustained minor injuries from the animal's teeth, the officials said.
Divisional Forest Officer Ram Singh Yadav described the attack as deliberate and cleverly planned, as it occurred precisely when Anushka's mother went out for a few moments.
On the same day, Nancy (4), daughter of Kamlesh Yadav, was playing outside her house in Baburi Tola village when a wolf suddenly attacked and dragged her away.
Villagers raised an alarm, and the wolf released the child and ran towards the sugarcane fields. The injured child was sent to the Kaiserganj Community Health Centre for treatment.
Divisional Forest Officer Ram Singh Yadav told reporters that both attacks involved wolves, adding that the entire area is plagued by the animal's activity.
Since September 9, such attacks in the Bahraich district have claimed 10 lives, including eight children and an elderly couple, and injured dozens of people, the officials said.
District Magistrate Akshay Tripathi met the families of the victims on Friday and consoled them.
