Whoever suggested fielding newcomers from BJP in Karnataka elections, should be hanged: BJP MP
Vijayapura: BJP MP Ramesh Jigajinagi from Vijayapura expressed his disappointment at the party's loss in the Assembly elections. He attributed the defeat to the party high command's decision to give tickets to newcomers and made controversial remarks, suggesting that individuals who suggested such gamble to the party high-command should be "hanged" or "mutilated."
During a press conference on Tuesday, Jigajinagi stated, "More than 70 candidates fielded by the BJP for the Assembly elections were inexperienced, and only a few of them emerged victorious. If the party high command had instead given tickets to experienced members, the BJP could have easily won over 130 seats, thereby securing a majority in the Karnataka Assembly."
He also highlighted the departure of influential political leader and former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar from the party, as well as the Congress' guarantee schemes, which he claimed were costly for the BJP.
In response to Jigajinagi's remarks, the Karnataka Congress took to Twitter and mockingly questioned the BJP, asking whom they intended to "hang" for the mistake of fielding newcomers. They listed several prominent BJP figures, including Amit Shah, BL Santhosh, Pralhad Joshi, Narendra Modi, and Basavaraj Bommai, and inquired about the responsibility for the defeat, suggesting that someone should be held accountable.

Another incident of alleged insult to Islamic prayer reported in Belthangady
case lodged against 47 individuals
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.
