Haveri: KS Eshwarappa, senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, ignited a controversy during a party meet in Haveri district by stating that mosques will be demolished to construct temples.
He asserted that the temples which have been destroyed by Mughals would be reconstructed after destroying the mosques. He mentioned that the court is providing a survey report about Kashi Vishwanath temple, similar to the one in Ayodhya. He added that the same will be witnessed in Mathura Krishna temple.

Eshwarappa stated that only the mosques constructed on temple sites will be destroyed. “We do not want to destroy new mosques; only those constructed on temple sites will be razed, be it today, tomorrow, or in the future, even after 50 years,” he said.
This is not the first time Eshwarappa has found himself mired in a controversy. Earlier in April, he made a derogatory reference to the azaan, the Islamic call to prayer, by calling it a "headache".

Bengaluru: A man accused of killing his vlogger girlfriend in Bengaluru and spending two days with her body has been arrested, according to police sources. Reports suggest he was arrested outside Karnataka, indicating that he fled the state after the alleged crime.
The victim, Maya Gogoi, a vlogger from Assam, was reportedly killed by her boyfriend, Aarav Hanoy, at a serviced apartment in Bengaluru earlier this week.
In a disturbing revelation, police stated that Hanoy spent two days with Gogoi's corpse, during which he was said to have smoked cigarettes while sitting in front of the body.
Following the crime, Aarav Hanoy left the serviced apartment in a taxi and traveled to the Majestic area in Bengaluru's Central Business District. He then switched off his phone, making it difficult for the authorities to trace him.
Police had formed two special teams to locate Hanoy and launched a manhunt, which eventually led to his arrest.
Maya, who lived with her sister in Bengaluru's HSR Layout, had informed her sister on Friday that she would not be returning home as she was attending an office party. On Saturday, she sent another message stating she was partying again that night.
Maya’s sister informed the police that the couple had been in a relationship for the past six months after meeting on social media.
