Chitdradurga: Union Minister A. Narayanaswamy has made a bold statement challenging anyone to provide evidence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi promising to deposit 15 lakhs in every individual's account. He added that if such evidence is produced, he would retire from politics.
During a conversation with reporters, Narayanaswamy highlighted that there is existing evidence of Karnataka politicians Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar discussing and guaranteeing certain benefits during the state elections. He emphasized that they had made door-to-door promises and signed documents to that effect, and that’s why they are being questioned.

His response came in the wake of Congress suggesting the BJP to fulfill PM Modi’s promise of depositing 15 lakh rupees in everyone’s account as a response to the saffron party’s repeat attacks on Congress regarding its polls promises.
Accusing the Congress party of orchestrating a scheme to keep voters dependent and waiting in queues for handouts, Narayanaswamy criticized their election victory, stating that it was based on these guarantees rather than principles.

Belthangady: Another incident involving individuals allegedly dancing indecently, dressed in a denigrating manner, and insulting the Azan (Islamic call to prayer) has come to light under the jurisdiction of the Venoor Police Station. A case has been lodged against 17 accused persons and 20 to 30 others who were allegedly involved in the act.
Based on a complaint filed by Mohammed Rafiq, a resident of Poyyegudde house in Padangady village, a case has been registered at Venoor police station against Savya residents Vasantha, Rajesh, Harish, Peradi residents Dayanand, Ranganath, Mohan, Shamit, Ravi, Ramesh Kulal, Suresh, Ashoka Kulal, Dhanush Haradottu, Harish Banthottu, Ramesh R.K, Suresh Barottu, Pramod, Prakash Peradi and 20 to 30 other individuals.
A case has been registered under Section 353(2) along with Section 3(5) Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 for disrespecting Islam, Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic prayer Azhan by wearing Muslim attire during a 'Purusha Kattuna' event on April 14th.
A video of the incident is reportedly circulating on various social media platforms. In the purported video, a group of individuals can be seen wearing traditional Muslim attire and allegedly insulting the Azan by dancing indecently during a 'Purusha Kattuna' (a ritualistic dance performed by men of different castes, typically marking the end of agricultural activities) event held in Peradi near Venoor.
This incident follows a similar episode reported just days ago during a Purushara Puja ceremony, where Islam was allegedly disrespected. A complaint had already been filed with the Venoor police regarding that incident.
Leaders from the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) had also approached the Venoor police and submitted an official complaint, and demanded immediate action against those who are responsible for creating unrest in the society by wearing Muslim attire and hurting religious sentiments.
The Venoor police have now registered a case following widespread outrage over the alleged video denigrating Islam.
