Bengaluru: Karnataka Tourism Minister CT Ravi and Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah engaged in a twitter war of words on Saturday after Ravi slammed Siddaramaiah for his remarks on Savarkar alleging that he was a conspirator of Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination.
Ravi on Saturday asked Siddaramaiah if he was ‘mentally handicapped’ or does he have any idea of history. Ravi also added that Savarkar was a nationalist.
Ravi tweeted in the backdrop of former CM’s remarks that Savarkar was a conspirator in Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination and conferring Bharat Ratna as proposed by the central government was wrong.
“You have accused Nationalist Veer Savarkar as Conspirator in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Are You mentally handicapped after loosing Chief Minister's post? Do You have any idea of History? Why don't You visit Cellular Jail! I will sponsor Your trip” (SIC) Ravi tweeted.
In his reply, Siddaramaiah took a dig at CT Ravi and added that when one is not in power, he drink and drives and kill innocent people. He was referring to a road accident involving CT Ravi’s car earlier this year.
In another tweet Siddaramaiah added that if India confers Bharat Ratna for someone who is a conspirator in Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination that it should at least give Rajyotsava Award to those who kill innocent people while drunk driving, once again referring to the same road accident involving Ravi’s car.

Gorakhpur (UP) (PTI): A newly married man fled with the Rs 15 lakh given to him as dowry by the bride's family, and it came to light later that he was an alleged serial scammer, police said on Sunday.
The accused, identified as Pritam Kumar Nishad from Etawah, allegedly posed as an IAS officer to deceive the woman into marrying him. He is currently absconding with his sister, and a case has been filed against him for cheating, dowry harassment, and forgery, officials said.
According to the police, the woman's family claimed that they spent nearly Rs 30 lakh for the wedding that was solemnised on March 11.
The match was arranged through a matrimonial group, where the accused introduced himself as an IAS officer, sharing purported interview clips, office visuals, and photographs with politicians to gain the family's trust.
Despite initially claiming he would marry without dowry, the accused allegedly demanded Rs 15 lakh shortly before the engagement. The bride's family paid Rs 10 lakh in cash during the engagement and the remaining Rs 5 lakh on the wedding day, the police said.
The fraud came to light on Saturday after the woman reached Etawah, and a wedding attendee informed the family that the accused was not a civil servant. When her relatives visited the address provided by him, they found her in a small rented room, while the accused and his sister had fled, the police added.
The woman has also alleged that the accused planned to take her to Goa and sell her, and accused him of inappropriate behaviour.
The police suspect that the accused may have been involved in multiple such marriages in the past. Based on a complaint lodged at the cantonment police station, an FIR was registered on Saturday evening.
Senior Superintendent of Police Dr Kaustubh said efforts are underway to arrest the accused.
