Nalin Kumar Kateel, Ashwath Narayan slam Siddaramaiah over his remarks on Ukraine evacuation
Mangaluru: Karnataka BJP Chief and DK MP Nalin Kumar Kateel on Thursday slammed former Karnataka CM and Leader of Opposition in Karnataka assembly Siddaramaiah over his remarks on the Ukraine crisis.
Speaking to the presspersons at the mega job fair here at the AJ Institute of Engineering and Technology, Kateel said Siddaramaiah’s behavior was irresponsible and dared him to show up with the data of evacuation during the Iraq-Iran war.
“Trying to take political advantage at the time of distress shows his narrow-mindedness,” Kateel told reporters.
Karnataka Minister for Higher Education CN Ashwath Narayan also joined Kateel in attacking the former CM and asserted that India was the only country that was trying to evacuate its citizens from war-torn Ukraine.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself is personally monitoring the situation and is reaching out to the students and their families. Siddaramaiah’s remarks are irresponsible and are for political gains,” the minister said.
When asked about the debate for the need of Indian students to study medicine abroad, Ashwath Narayan said “40% seats across India are reserved. There are several government colleges as well. We will also look into all the possible measures that can be undertaken by the government to improve the situation. I will hold discussions with the CM and experts in this regard. But right now, our priority is to bring all the students stuck in Ukraine, back safely.”

Ranchi: Temple guard bludgeoned to death during robbery attempt, 3 held
Ranchi (PTI): A 60-year-old security guard of a temple in Ranchi was bludgeoned to death with a stone during a robbery attempt, police said on Saturday.
The incident happened late on Thursday at the Jagannath Temple in the Dhurwa Smart City area, they said.
"Three persons were arrested on Friday for killing the security guard. They confessed to the crime and told police that the victim had identified them. Therefore, in fear of being caught, they killed him by attacking him with a stone on his head," SSP Rakesh Ranjan said.
"Thereafter, they took money from the donation box and fled the scene. Two of them have criminal antecedents," he added.
Ranjan said the investigators recovered Rs 3 lakh in cash that had been robbed, the stone with blood-stained marks, and the iron rod used to break open the lock of the donation box kept there.
An FIR in this regard was lodged at the Dhurwa police station, he said, adding that the accused were sent to judicial custody by a court.
