Construction of Gandhi Bhavan in each district: CM Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru, October 02: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that in order to reach the Gandhian ideology to the youth, the government has decided to construct Gandhi Bhavans in all districts in the state.
Inaugurating the ‘Gandhi-150’ jayanti and the golden jubilee celebration of National Service Scheme, organized by the Karnataka Gandhi Memorial Funds, Information and Public Relation department and National Service Scheme at the Gandhi Bhavan here on Tuesday, the Chief Minister said that the land was identified in 16 districts for the Gandhi Bhavans and within next 15-20 days, land would be finalized in the remaining districts and a committee was formed under his chairmanship to construct the Gandhi Bhavans.
After constructing the Gandhi Bhavans, programmes would be conducted every day to educate the youth on Gandhian philosophy and employability skills, he said.
Committed to protect women
Gandhi had said that the freedom would get a meaning only when a woman walks alone in the midnight. In order to fulfill his dreams, the Coalition government has decided to take some stringent steps. In order to curb gambling, land mafia and chain snatching and other criminal activities, the police department was given free hand. Stringent action would be taken against those who disturb peace and harmony in the society, he said.
Receiving an award from Jayashri Trust, senior poet Bolwar Mahammad Kunh said that “there are no great personalities in the society to emulate by the youth. So, we have to give the examples of life and works of Gandhi without any choice. It is a tragedy that every individual has inclined towards a particular ideology and organization. As a result, we are prejudiced about the other persons and ideologies. So, it is very difficult to create a peaceful environment in the society”, he said.
Gandhi was killed as he was favouring the Muslims. But the reality was different. Gandhi was not in favour of any particular person, caste or religion. He was in favour of the humanity. But those who killed him had failed to understand the gist of his life, he opined.
Gandhi special editions of Janapada and March of Karnataka were released on the occasion and launched a photo exhibition on Gandhi. Former minister HK Patil, former union minister MV Rajashekaran, Gandhi Bhavan president Vode P Krishna, Gandhian Chennamma Hallikeri, Gandhi Bhavan honorary secretary Indira Krishnappa, Information department director NR Vishukumar and others were present.
No licence for liquor shops
“I have not directed anybody to give licence to liquor shops. Moreover, I have not received any proposal about it. But the media has been making false propaganda against me as ‘two-faced Kumaraswamy’. Media should analyse the past and the future before making any news”.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
