Congress has failed to convince people about spread of communalism in country: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly, Siddaramaiah on Thursday asserted that communalism was spreading across the country and Congress had failed to convince people about it.
Addressing an event at KPCC Office in the city to mark the birth anniversary of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Siddaramaiah added that the fear of communalism was spreading in the country and the party workers had failed to convince people about it.
He further added that the ruling BJP had no respect for the Indian Constitution enacted by Dr. BR Ambedkar and the RSS was a caste-based organization that works to empower the upper castes. “The BJP is acting as a mask to the RSS” he added.
“Most people in Congress are unaware of the principles of the party. There is no benefit of attending party events just for fun”. He said Congress activists, mainly those at the grassroots level, should be sure of the Congress’ principles.
“The BJP has filed case in the Supreme Court against the women reservation. They had opposed the Mandal Committee. Why don’t the women’s community get these things?” the former CM questioned. “They will get all the Airports of the country privatized, recently, the Mangaluru International Airport was also sold to the Adani group”, he added

Man arrested for duping Delhi resident of Rs 2 lakh in online car sale fraud
New Delhi (PTI): Police have arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly duping a Delhi resident of Rs 2 lakh on the pretext of selling a second-hand car online, an official said on Saturday.
The accused, identified as Aman Sethi, a resident of Shiv Puri Extension in east Delhi, allegedly impersonated an employee of a reputed online car sale platform to gain the victim's trust, the police said.
The case came to light after a complaint was lodged by Harish, a resident of Trilokpuri, following which an FIR was registered on April 16 under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Sethi was arrested on Friday.
According to the complainant, the accused contacted the victim and offered to sell a second-hand car. He allegedly convinced him to transfer Rs 2 lakh as booking and processing charges.
After receiving the money, the accused neither delivered the vehicle nor refunded the amount and stopped responding to calls.
A police team conducted a detailed financial and technical investigation and traced the money trail to a bank account in the accused's name.
"Analysis of KYC details, account activity and digital footprints helped identify the suspect," a senior police officer said.
The police said the accused had vacated his known address and was evading arrest, but was eventually tracked down through technical surveillance and local intelligence after multiple raids in Delhi-NCR.
During interrogation, Sethi allegedly tried to mislead investigators but was confronted with evidence and subsequently arrested. Further probe revealed his involvement in a similar cheating case registered at the Krishna Nagar police station, indicating a pattern of such offences.
The police said the accused targeted people searching for second-hand cars online by posing as an employee of vehicle sale platforms, sharing photographs and details of vehicles, and demanding advance payments in personal bank accounts.
Two debit cards, two mobile phones and SIM cards allegedly used in the offence have been recovered from his possession, the police added.
