Udupi, Feb 10: Expressing hope that BJP will retain in Udupi zilla panchayat in looming elections, Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje said that the saffron party brought in a new dimension to the administration five years ago.

Speaking to media persons after releasing the party’s manifesto at the BJP office here, she said the zilla panchayat was the hub of corruption during Congress rule.

Congress has already massacred Lokayukta institution and now is all set to annihilate Panchayat Raj System. The government is totally against the strengthening Panchayat Raj system, she criticised.

Karandlaje said the State government decided to conduct elections for zilla and taluk panchayats owing to the strict measures adopted by the Union government. The Union government has already instructed that the states, which fail to hold polls for the rural local bodies in time, will be deprived of nearly Rs 15,000 crore released to gram, taluk panchayat and zilla panchayats. This compelled the State government to announce the elections, she charged.

Alleging that the State government is ‘the worst-ever irresponsible government’, the MP ridiculed that people are curious to know on what grounds the Congress will fight the election as it has never taken any measures during its term to release funds for the betterment of rural areas.

She alleged that Congress is also interfering in the 14th Finance Commission funds released directly to the gram panchayats. The State government has deducted 25 per cent of the sum released citing the reason of pending electricity bills. However, the gram panchayats, which have paid the bills, have also suffered owing to the illogical and illegal attitude of the State government. The deduction is done to those gram panchayats that have paid the electricity bills, she said.

She said the Union government has earmarked about Rs 2 lakh crore under Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) programmes.

She said the planned conspiracy by the government raises doubts against involvement of the politician or a high-ranking official. She alleged that government has not taken legal action against the high-level officers. A few lower cadre officers were detained and later released, she charged.

She said the government mechanism is totally misused. The funds released in the last budget under RDPR Department have remained non-utilised. She said she realised that the action plan has not been approved till January when she discussed the issue of funds earmarked for the drinking water and other rural development works with DCs.

Karandlaje alleged that the State government was lackadaisical in its attitude in approving the action plans.

She said that crematorium and solid waste management units in all gram panchayats will be the top priority of the party. An ombudsman should be appointed to look into the financial transaction that take place in the local governance, she added.

of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives
for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the
direction of a good platform.

Bengaluru: The Enforcement Directorate on Monday undertook fresh searches in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) linked money laundering case in which it has booked Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, official sources said.

About seven-eight premises in Bengaluru and Mysuru are being covered, the sources said.

The federal agency had conducted the first round of raids in this case on October 18 when it searched the MUDA office in Mysuru and some other locations.

It also questioned some lower-rank officials of the MUDA at its Bengaluru zonal office last week.

The ED has filed a enforcement case information report (ECIR) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to book the CM and others taking cognisance of a Lokayukta FIR.

Siddaramaiah is facing Lokayukta and ED probes into alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the MUDA.

Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathi B M, brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, Devaraju -- from whom Mallikarjuna Swamy purchased land and gifted it to Parvathi -- and others are named as other accused in the case by the two probe agencies.

Parvathi was recently questioned by the Lokayukta.

The accused wife and the victim husband

 

Udupi, Oct 25: A seemingly natural death has unraveled into a heart-wrenching case of betrayal and murder in Udupi’s Marne village. 

Balakrishna (44), who had been battling fever and severe illness for nearly a month, succumbed to his condition on October 20, despite extensive treatment at multiple hospitals. 

Diagnosed with jaundice, he was under care at KMC Hospital in Manipal, Wenlock Hospital in Mangaluru, NIMHANS Hospital in Bengaluru, and Victoria Hospital. But his symptoms persisted, and he was brought home on October 19, only to pass away at 3:30 am the next morning.

A complaint filed by his grieving brother, Ramakrishna (42), has now transformed Balakrishna's case into an alleged murder investigation. According to Ramakrishna, his brother’s wife, Pratima, had been in a relationship with Dileep from Hirgan. Allegedly, frustrated by Balakrishna's interference in her relationship, Pratima conspired with Dileep to eliminate him.

The complaint suggests that Pratima and Dileep plotted to gradually poison Balakrishna, lacing his meals with a toxic substance that steadily worsened his health. 

In the early hours of October 20, Dileep allegedly visited the home, where he and Pratima are accused of suffocating Balakrishna with a bedsheet, ending his life in a final act of betrayal. 

The Ajekar police have now registered a murder case, transforming Balakrishna's tragic death into a haunting investigation. They also have managed to arrest the victim’s wife and her boyfriend.

Udupi, Oct 25: A team of police from Udupi apprehended a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) at Kannur International Airport, Kerala, after he had been absconding overseas since 2019. 

Ashmath Ali (35) originally arrested on charges of recording a video of unnatural acts, had been out on bail granted by the second ACJ and JMFC court of Udupi on September 6, 2019.

Despite 18 arrest warrants issued in his name, Ali managed to evade authorities for years, frequently traveling abroad. 

Acting on a tip-off, sleuths from Kaup police station intercepted him as he landed at Kannur International Airport on October 21, marking the end of his prolonged evasion from Indian law enforcement.
