‘Gouri Day' used for PM's criticism: Salochana Bhatt
Mangaluru: The BJP's state vice president Sulochana GK Bhat accused that the ‘Gauri Day' program is used to criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event was organized to celebrate the 56th birth anniversary of Gaurilakesh in Bengaluru recently.
Addressing media persons at BJP office recently, Bhat said, let the Gauri Day program be dedicated to recalling her life achievements. "Everybody is criticizing country's prime minister, even elderly person HS Doraswami was also used for that. Whereas, no protest was held against the state government's failure in arresting Gauri's murderers. BJP condemns this move," She said.
"In a program organized for communal harmony in Mangalore recently, Chief Minister's media adviser Dinesh Amin Mattu has disturbed the program by giving political statements. Kudroli temple is not a personal property of Dinesh Amin Mathu" Bhat said.
"In the name of secularism, religious sentiments are being used to get political mileage in the upcoming assembly elections; People understand this. The way politics was done in Gujarat by using Jignesh Mewani and Alpesh Thakur, in that same manner actor Prakash Rai is being used in Karnataka. But here people will teach them a lesson".
BJP leaders Vikas Puttur, Sanjay Prabhu, Satish Prabhu and Jitendra Kothari were present at the press conference.

CID to probe realtor murder case, says Karnataka Home Minister
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Tuesday said that he has directed the CID to probe the alleged kidnapping and killing of a real estate businessman from Anekal, whose body was found in neighbouring Tamil Nadu on March 9.
The minister was responding to a question raised by Congress MLA Pradeep Eshwar in the Legislative Assembly during zero hour.
"On the issue raised by the MLA, the police have already taken action. One person has been arrested, and the search is on for others. Based on the initial reports we have got, I have instructed that the case be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department. The investigation will be done by them," Parameshwara said.
Demanding justice for the deceased's family, Eshwar earlier urged the home minister to hand over the case to the CID. "One person has been arrested and two suspects are still at large. They should be arrested at the earliest," he said.
Gopal alias Gopi was allegedly abducted on Sunday by a gang that intercepted his car near Karpur Gate. The assailants allegedly rammed his car from the rear and forcibly took him away in another car.
He was reportedly taken to a forest area near Denkanikottai in Krishnagiri district in Tamil Nadu, and was attacked by sharp weapons leading to death, police said, adding that the body was found on Monday.
Gopal's family members and relatives had staged a protest outside the Anekal police station, demanding the immediate arrest of all those behind the incident.
The police have arrested Mohan Babu, alleged to be the mastermind behind the crime, even as efforts are being made to nab his two associates who kidnapped Gopal. Business disputes and rivalry are said to be the reasons behind the killing.
