Congress will win all the eight seats in Dakshina Kannada: Poojary
Mangaluru, May,9: Senior leader of Congress Janardhana Poojary said that Congress will emerge victorious in all eight seats in Dakshina Kannada.
Speaking at a press meet in party office in Kadri here in the city on Wednesday Poojary said, in last assembly election congress has won seven seats in the coastal district. But this time we will bag all the eight seats.
Some people spreading false propaganda against MLA J. R Lobo. This is condemnable. Congress is not restricted to one religion or caste. The party believes in secular principles and respects every religion. Lobo also respects people from all the community. Projecting him as anti Bunts and anti Billava is not right he said.
Lobo is secular person and spreading false rumours against him is condemnable. If it is proved that Lobo is a castiest, I myself will cast my vote against him, Poojary said.
MLA J.R Lobo, DCC president Harish Kumar, KPCC general secretary and district incharge U.V Venkatesh, Mayor Bhaskar Moily, MUDA president Suresh Ballal, former mayor Shashidhar hedge, party leader Muhammed Masood, Kallige Taranath Shetty, Muhammed Salim, Vijay Kumar 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.
