He doesn't marry because he can't have children: K'taka BJP Chief remarks against Rahul Gandhi
Statement receives sharp rebuke from Congress
Ramanagara, Mar 6: Karnataka BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel has made sharp remarks on the marital status of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi which met with strong reaction from the opposition party.
During the BJP's 'Jana Sankalpa Yatra' in Ramanagara on Sunday, the BJP state chief alleged Gandhi had urged people to not get the COVID vaccines administered as it would lead to impotence.
"What did Rahul Gandhi say? Rahul Gandhi and (former Karnataka CM) Siddaramaiah asked people not to take the COVID vaccine as they will not be able to produce children. But Rahul and Siddaramaiah clandestinely took the vaccine at night," said Kateel, an MP from Dakshina Kannada.
Quoting a BJP MLC from Karnataka, the party leader claimed: "That's why our MLC said Rahul Gandhi did not marry because he cannot have children."
Outraged by the statement, Congress general secretary and Karnataka in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala called Kateel a "joker".
"A 'Joker in BJP's Circus' in Karnataka is suffering from perpetual 'verbal diarrhoea' - except that in his case, it is both-physical and mental. Since no one pays attention to him, he makes stupid statements to be in news. U guessed it right - it is Nalin Kateel. Pl ignore him!" Surjewala tweeted.
"Such stupidities are always the refuge of cowards & fools - a classical BJP trait! They will insult science & scientists. They will oppose scientific temper. They will promote orthodoxy. They will promote skulduggery. They should be relegated to the dustbin of history," he added.
Assembly polls in Karnataka are due by May.
Such stupidities are always the refuge of cowards & fools - a classical BJP trait !

Five held in multi-crore cyber fraud cases across India
Mumbai: The Vakola police arrested five individuals from Rajasthan and Thane on Saturday for their alleged involvement in multiple cyber fraud cases across the country.
The accused are identified Fujeel Ahmed Ansari, 21, Miraj Akram, 24; Mohammad Ansari, 27, from Bhiwandi in Thane district; Rajkaran Tanwar, 19; and Karan Segar, 19, both residents of Jaipur. They were allegedly responsible for converting the funds into cryptocurrency after transferring.
Investigations began after a complaint by a 26-year-old resident of Santacruz (East) who lost ₹3.4 lakh in a task-based fake job scam. During the investigation under Inspector Amar Patil, the leading police team traced back the bank transaction records to fraudulent activity in accounts based in Rajasthan and apprehended Tanwar and Segar.
Patil said that Mohammed Ansari operated around bank accounts not registered in his name, and his interrogation led to the identification and arrest of the remaining two accused. Patil further added that the group is suspected of defrauding people across the country of approximately ₹30 crore.
During the past four months, three cyber fraud cases were registered in Mumbai West, East, and North cyber police stations involving losses of ₹ 7.27 crore, ₹41 lakh, and ₹14 lakh, respectively.
More such cases involving losses of ₹22 lakh and ₹48 lakh were reported in Pune, Bilaspur, and Chhattisgarh. The accused are remanded to police custody till April 28 after appearance in court.
