BJP's Hindutva fake, I was troubled by my own people for views on Hindutva: Pramod Mutalik
Mangaluru: Sri Rama Sene Chief Pramod Mutalik who is aspiring to contest Karnataka Assembly Elections from Karkala Constituency, on Monday said of the 109 cases registered against him so far, several were registered against him were filed during the BJP rule in the state.
Speaking at a press conference on in the city, Mutalik took a dig at the BJP adding that he was obstacled the most by his own people for his views on Hindutva.
He further added that he was confident of contesting the polls from Karkala and that he wouldn’t step back from contesting the polls.
“I don’t know how to play politics. I wear my heart to my sleeve. If I had licked the boots of the BJP and would’ve supported the BJP’s fake Hindutva, I would’ve achieved a lot by now.” he said.
“I will contest as an independent candidate and I am not pressurized by anyone. Instead, I have received support from several people.” He said expressing confidence of winning the upcoming elections.
“What we are fighting for is the real Hindutva. We are also fighting against corruption in the state. By looking at how much the wealth of Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar’s has increased since he first contested elections, we can figure out the extent of corruption that has gripped the constituency.” Mutalik further added.
“I don’t have anything, I don’t even have a bank account, I stay in a rented house. I don’t have money and that’s why I am not scared.” He added.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
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.
