Chikmagaluru, May 9: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that despite losing almost all states in the country, AICC president Rahul Gandhi, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and CM Siddaramaiah are behaving in arrogance.

Addressing the election rally organized here on Wednesday, PM Modi said that the time has to wipe out the Congress from the country. In the last four years, the Congress has lost all elections. It was defeated in almost all states in Uttar Pradesh. Even then, the arrogance of the Congress leaders has not come down, he said.

AICC president Rahul Gandhi camped in Karnataka for Assembly election. He has been criticizing the BJP government at the centre and praising Siddaramaiah government. But being the Lok Sabha Member, he has forgotten the development of his constituency Amethi. Now, he has eyed on PM chair. He has the concern only on PM chair and not the country. Congress party has become Gandhi family and in Congress, the PM chair belongs to only Gandhi family, he blasted.

Both Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi were on bail in Rs 5000 crore fraud. The Congress has lost its ground when this scam was exposed. In May 12 election, Karnataka people would permanently send mother-son duo to home. As Siddaramaiah came to know about this truth, Siddaramaiah has conspired to win the election through ulterior motive. But people would not accept it, he said.

When the Congress did not have ground in North India, Indira Gandhi had come to Chikmagaluru where she had won the election and entered the Lok Sabha. After she had won the election, she did not visit her constituency once. What was her contribution to Chikmagaluru which had given political rebirth to her? In the same way, Sonia Gandhi had promised Ballary people that she would bring Rs 3000 crore package to develop the constituency. Has she fulfilled her promise, he asked.

When Modi began his speech in Kannada and wished the people, people yelled in joy. Before the stage programme, BJP workers took out a bike rally and procession in the city.

BJP candidates CT Ravi, MP Kumaraswamy, DS Suresh, Belli Prakash and Suresh were present. Thousands of party workers from Hassan, Beluru, Sakaleshpur, Chikmagalur, Sringeri, Mudigere, Tarikere, Kaduru assembly constituencies were present.

‘Cong doesn’t believe in democracy’

Earlier, the Congress had misused the power given to them in the country and engaged in misrule. The entire world has accepted the working style of Election Commission of India. But the Congress has been saying that the Election Commission is not good. According to it, only Congress is good in this country. EVMs are wrong, they are right. It has been saying that even CBI and NIA are also not good, he said.

It is unfortunate that the Congress does not have belief on Army and defence system of the country. The Congress has tarnished the image of the country before the world through Bofors scandal. It does not have faith on the judiciary. If the naxalites, jihadis and terrorists were cracked, the Congress would find fault in that act also. When the RBI implemented new economic policies, the Congress is criticizing that. When the entire country expressed good thing about India, Congress has been alleging that Modi has purchased the entire world leadership, he charged.

Bengaluru, Dec 26: A Japanese national, Hiroshi Sasaki, who works in Bengaluru, lost Rs 35.5 lakh after being 'digitally arrested' by cyber fraudsters, police said, on Thursday.

 

The incident occurred between December 12 and 14, police added.

Sasaki, who lives in a flat near Dairy Circle, received a phone call on December 12. The caller was claiming to be from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. The caller informed him that his phone number would be blocked due to its unauthorised use.

To avoid the disconnection Sasaki was asked to dial a number.

Upon dialling the number, he was immediately connected to a WhatsApp call from someone claiming to be from the Cyber Crime wing of Mumbai Police. The caller informed Sasaki that he was involved in a money laundering case.

The fraudsters "digitally arrested" him and siphoned off Rs 35.5 lakh by having him make payments through various means, including RTGS.

He was also told that the money would be returned after the investigation was completed.

After realising that he had been duped, the victim approached the South East Cyber Crimes, Economics and Narcotics (CEN) police station and lodged a complaint.

'Digital arrest' is a new cyber fraud, where the fraudster poses as law enforcement agency officials from agencies like CBI, and customs and threatens people of arrest by making video calls.
