Karkala: Sri Ram Sena chief Pramod Muthalik has said that he would be contesting the upcoming Assembly elections from Karkala constituency as an independent candidate.
Addressing a press meet in Karkala, Muthalik said that he had been urged by many of the Sena members to be their representative and put forth their woes.
“I have made several tours of the region and received a lot of support from the people. The level of corruption is high in Karkala and the people have suffered greatly. I will work diligently against the corrupt activities here,” he promised.
The Sri Ram Sena head said that he did not oppose the BJP or its ideology. Rather, he was fighting against the ideology of specific people in the BJP,” said Muthalik.

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.
