Swami Vivekananda’s death is not natural, it’s a murder: Prof KS Bhagavan
Demands investigation
Mysuru, August 06: Writer and progressive thinker Prof KS Bhagavan said that the death of Swami Vivekananda was not natural. It’s a murder. He was strangulated. The government should conduct an investigation into the death, he demanded.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, he said that Swami Vivekananda was speaking about the principles and ideologies of Buddhism. He might have killed after this development. Being a youth, he did not meet natural death. There was a suspicion. Nobody would believe that Vivekananda died naturally. In the same way, Basavanna was also killed. Those who were unable to tolerate the Vachana movement of Basavanna, had killed him. It was an utter lie that Basavanna was united in the God at Kudala Sangama. Basavanna had initiated a movement against the casteism in the society. Why did he unit in the God? There was no Kailasa and heaven, he said.
State Govt. should celebrate Mahisha Dasara
For the last four years, Mahisha Dasara Foundation Committee has been celebrating Mahisha Dasara in its own expenses and now, the government should celebrate it on the line of Chamundi Dasara. In the Mahisha Dasara, the idol of Mahisha should be placed on the elephant like Jamboo Savari on October 7 and with this, the government should encourage Dravida culture, he demanded.
Jnana Prakash Swamiji of Urilingi Peddi Mutt, Samiti president Shantaraj, writers Raju K Bannur, Siddaswamy, former mayor Purushottam and others were present.

'Rear-guard action': BJP over Mamata accepting sports minister's resignation after Messi event
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Tuesday alleged that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's accepting Aroop Biswas' resignation as the state sports minister is nothing but a "rear-guard action" to douse public anger over the mismanagement of football icon Lionel Messi's event last week.
BJP co-in-charge for West Bengal Amit Malviya alleged that this is also an "open confession" that the Messi event fiasco was not accidental but a government-manufactured disaster, borne out of the poor governance of Banerjee, her ministers and the state bureaucracy.
Banerjee on Tuesday accepted Biswas' resignation as the sports minister in the wake of the controversy over the mismanagement of football icon Messi's event last week, a senior leader of the ruling TMC said.
Biswas, who had written to the chief minister seeking to be relieved of his responsibilities as sports minister, will continue as a cabinet minister, retaining charge of the power department.

Reacting to the development, Malviya said in a post on X, "TMC Sports Minister Aroop Biswas resigns after the Messi fiasco and Mamata Banerjee accepts it in record time."
"Do not mistake this for accountability; this is nothing but a rear-guard action to douse public anger. anger! This is not 'Raj Dharma'," he added.
The BJP leader alleged that the incident was the outcome of "loot" of common people which is "so synonymous" with the TMC.
The incident was also the outcome of the "shameless VIP culture that TMC thrives on and deep-rooted cronyism promoted by Banerjee," he charged.
Malviya further alleged that Biswas' resignation exposes a "collective failure of Mamata Banerjee, her partisan bureaucracy, and her crony cabinet".
"This is a symbolic sacrifice, a political hoax, soon to be buried under layers of bureaucracy, with no justice, no accountability, and no remorse," the BJP leader said, adding, "No resignation will bring back the time lost, the money wasted, or the stolen chance for football lovers to witness Messi in Kolkata."
