"Will you contest the election on a BJP ticket?", netizens raise question
Bengaluru: On January 22, 2024, the dedication day of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, a Facebook/Twitter post shared by senior IPS officer, IGP Rupa Moudgil of Karnataka has gone viral.
“I can't forget this particular incident--during Ram Janmabhoomi struggle,sometime in Dec 1991,while I was in school,my town Davanagere witnessed golibar/police firing in which a youth Prakash Ninganna(if I remember correctly) lost his life. This news was carried only on BBC radio those times. Rooted in such raw and pure sacrifices of many, Lord Ram temple that is a reality today is built not just on faith, emotions but on strong legal grounds and is prashnateet/ unquestionable. Not able to comprehend why a few still have issues." she posted on Twitter.

Kiran Rajanahalli, who responded to this post, said, "Yes, Roopa, you said it. I too remember those days. Rama temple built on its own land with all legal grounds. People have been patiently waiting for many years to get this right legally."
Srinivasa Kulkarni said, “Very true… during 1990, in Davanagere Hindus death rate was increase day by day, but media was hidden all true information. As per local news total death toll was 17 to 23. Actual is more than 50+,” he commented.
Ashish Mukherjee says, “Dislike of the dispensation or dislike of what the temple stands for. Yes, there are many such people. Many people even question SC on every matter nowadays, just because SC judgments do not align with their thinking. Very unfortunate. “
K Sudhakar Patnaik says, “I too remember and findout my old files to go through the same incident and some facts finding reports. Infact i also followed to cover the story on Murali Manohar Joshi to jeypore during his Rathyatra in Koraput district of Odisha. Had no pas to attend his press meet. Mr Syma Sundar hamsada IPS was our Sp Koraput asked me to attend the press meet. Do you contest in general elections with BJP ticket or what Ms Roopa Modigil ji”
Along with this, Rupa Moudgil, an IPS officer of Karnataka cadre, also shared another post.
This post is about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech on Pran Pratishta day. “In the energising speech of h'ble PM .@narendramodi ji wherein each phrase and sentence was impregnated with meaning n significance,one that impacted me the most is the perspective to Jatayu incident...Jatayu who willingly fought Ravana,knowing the latter's might. PM exhorting everyone to follow example of Jatayu to voluntarily act and shed the feeling of helplessness,to do one's duty fighting adharma/injustice is so motivating to even make the dead come alive,act, immerse in nation building,” she posted.
Recently, a senior IAS officer from Maharashtra shared in her Facebook post that after the incident of December 6, 1992 (Babri Masjid demolition), she celebrated by eating peda and chanting Jai Shriram.
Although there are clear rules that the officers should be impartial and they should not be seen to be in favor of any religion, the fact that IAS and IPS officers are openly making statements in favor of one religion has caused dissatisfaction among the people.

Fifties by Kohli, Bethel, Shepherd power RCB to 213/5 against CSK
Bengaluru (PTI): Virat Kohli and Jacob Bethel did the early running with well-crafted fifties, while Romario Shepherd applied the finishing touches with a brutal 14-ball unbeaten half-century as Royal Challengers Bengaluru raced to a massive 213 for five against Chennai Super Kings in an IPL match here on Saturday.
The Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni decided to bowl first after winning the toss, but the decision played handsomely into RCB’s hands as Kohli and Bethel merrily chugged along to make 97 runs in just 9.5 overs for the opening wicket.
Kohli (62 off 33 balls) and Bethel (55 off 33) exploited a fuss-free pitch to telling effect, and their job was made much easier by the wrong lines of CSK bowlers, which was evidenced when Shepherd (53 not out off 14 balls; 4x4, 6X6) made the joint second fastest fifty in the IPL.
The fastest fifty of the IPL was struck off just 13 balls by Yashasvi Jaiswal in 2023, while both KL Rahul (in 2018) and Pat Cummins (2022) had also earlier made half centuries off 14 balls.
Khaleel Ahmed, who has the highest number of dot balls in this IPL at 110, tried to test Kohli with snorter but it was pulled thunderously over fine leg for a six.
In the very next ball, the left-arm pacer went for a fuller length delivery but it was on Kohli’s pads as the batter sent the ball soaring over square leg for a maximum, and all he needed was a simple unlocking of his wrist.
Bethel was more brutal. The England left-hander smashed Ahmed for three successive fours in the first over itself, all rasping cuts and forceful drives, as RCB raced out of the traps.
The 21-year-old had a slice of fortune too as Ravindra Jadeja and Matheesha Pathirana collided with each other to spill a catch off pacer Anshul Kamboj.
Bethel was on 27 then, and he soon brought up his maiden IPL fifty with a reverse scoop off Jadeja.
Kohli too reached his fifty soon after with a routine slap through the cover region for a four off Jadeja.
Just as the alliance was blossoming further, Bethel skied Pathirana for Dewald Brevis to complete a fine catch running in from the boundary line.
It gave some respite to the CSK bowlers, who found a way to stem the free flow of runs using cutters and into-the-deck deliveries, particularly Sam Curran (1/34) and Pathirana (3/36).
Curran consumed Kohli with a slow delivery which did not allow the batter to execute a ramp over Ahmed at gully.
But Kohli and Bethel had given RCB a superb platform as the home side were placed at 121 for 2 in the 12th over.
However, the improved lengths of CSK bowlers and a tinge of slowness in the track made RCB settle for 37 runs between overs 12 and 18 as batters like Devdutt Padikkal and skipper Rajat Patidar failed to force the pace.
But Shepherd waded into Ahmed (65 runs in 3 overs), slamming him for four sixes and two fours in the 19th over which yielded 33 runs.
Shepherd and Tim David raised their fifty stand for the sixth wicket in just 14 balls and the latter contributed a princely two runs in that alliance.
