Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP General Secretary and Minister in newly formed cabinet of CM Yediyurappa on Wednesday criticised former Union Home Minister and Finance Minister P Chidambaram after his arrest adding that he was hiding in his house in New Delhi to gain sympathy, evading arrest by CBI and ED.

Ravi in a tweet also called Chidambaram ‘Crook who as Union Home Minister coined “Hindu Terror”.

“This Crook who as Union Home Minister coined "Hindu Terror" is holed up like a Petty Thief” Ravi wrote in the tweet.

“In a scene straight out from a movie, @INCIndia leader @PChidambaram_IN is creating a scene to gain sympathy by hiding in his house in New Delhi” he added while also writing ‘What goes around comes around’ in the tweet.

Twitterati however did not take the tweet lightly and schooled the new minister for posting the tweet. A few of the users stressed Ravi to concentrate on his role as the minister of the state and not indulge in such controversies, while others recalled hit and run accident case involving his car to remind him of his cases that are still pending.

One of the users called Ravi as ‘Crook’ adding that he was a cabinet minister behaving like BJP’s IT Cell troll.

Another user commented “Sir, Do you need this tweet? Is it part of your job description? Is it not the job of BJP high command? Please stay away from unnecessary national issues. Concentrate on your district and your ministry work. Thousands are in relief centres of Mudigere. Solve their problems”.

Here are the few replies of the twitterati on Ravi’s tweet:

Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.

The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.

The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.

On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.

Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.

It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.

He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.

According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
