Mangaluru : People have seen Congress, JDS, BJP or CPIM during the last 70 years and they are disillusioned with them and feel that none of the mainstream parties are true to people. People know what truth is, what  Dharma is, right or wrong. They are looking for a new young leader. I am  in touch with likeminded people  to  complement the efforts for a new political alternative, Prakash Rai said in a news conference 

Instead of parties with ‘ High command culture, regional leaders should emerge. The leaders should articulate the aspirations of the local people. Several people have joined hands with me in this endeavor.  In the next few months  I will hold discussions with like-minded people towards this and initiate a new peoples movement, he said.

'BJP  people are frustrated by my straight and sharp questioning. They may even throw dung on me, intelligence reports have cautioned me in this regard. I am least bothered about these tactics. Anyway,they throw what is in their head..!’  He sarcastically said.

Let the Truth be known. If you read VB and like VB, please be a VB Supporter and Help us deliver the Truth to one and all.



Bengaluru, Nov 22: Two minor siblings were found dead under mysterious circumstances at their residence here on Thursday in a case of murder, police said on Friday.

Shubham (7) and Siya (3) were allegedly strangled to death with a rope, according to police.

The children's father, Sunil Kumar Sahoo, has accused his wife, Mamata, of "killing the children due to a marital dispute."

Sahoo, a 30-year-old auto driver from Jharkhand, discovered his children’s bodies when he returned home in Subramanyapura around 9.30 pm on Thursday. He immediately rushed his children and his wife, who sustained a minor neck injury, to the hospital.

In his complaint, Sahoo claimed that his wife, frustrated and depressed due to their ongoing marital issues, killed the children. However, Mamata has denied any involvement in the crime, and police said she was at home during the incident.

CCTV footage reviewed by police confirmed that the father was not present at the time of the incident.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Lokesh B Jagalasar, citing preliminary investigations, said the children were strangled to death with a rope. There are conflicting claims from both parents regarding who was responsible for the murders. A case of murder has been registered, and the investigation is ongoing.

"The mother, who has a minor neck injury, is receiving treatment at the hospital. It remains to be seen whether the injury is self-inflicted or caused by another person," Jagalasar said.

"Initial findings suggest that the murder may be linked to the marital dispute, which was known to neighbours and relatives. However, the investigation is ongoing, and all claims are being thoroughly examined," he added.

Police are awaiting technical and forensic reports to further investigate the incident. No arrests have been made yet, as the mother is still hospitalised.
