Pejawara Shree replies to the question whether he was unhappy with Modi
Mysuru: I am not unhappy with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Some sections of the media have misinterpreted my statement, clarified Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Pejawara Mutt.
Speaking at a press conference after attending a private event, he said, "I am not upset over Modi. Some sections of the media have wrongly interpreted my statement. I did not say that center’s schemes are not satisfactory. I have talked about black money, and about cleansing the Ganges. I have said that the central government's achievements were not wholly satisfactory. And I stated this to motivate the central government.
“Some BJP leaders have misunderstood my statement. Only Union Minister Sadananda Gowda has correctly understood my statement. Still, the central government has one year time. A lot could be achieved during this period,” he added.

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.
