Mangaluru, Sep 3: Reiterating his demand that the CM Siddaramaiah should drop the Yettinahole project Congress veteran B Janardhan Poojary on Saturday said that two former CMs and current MPs - M Veerappa Moily and D V Sadananda Gowda- are hell bent on implementing the controversial project.

POOJARI

He was speaking to media persons in Mangaluru a after the CM directed the officials concerned to expedite the execution of the project and bring any sort of impediment in doing so, directly to his notice.

"People of Dakshina Kannada will certainly not keep quiet if the government continues to do so and revolt," Mr Poojary said, wondering if CM Siddaramaiah is knowingly becoming a partner to conspiracy of Veerappa Moily and Sadananda Gowda who are keen to see the project through.

Asserting that he has already brought apprehensions expressed by various stakeholders about the project in the media reports to notice of Sonia Gandhi, he said the party high command is watching the developments as they unfold.

Asked if Siddaramaiah had spoken to him about Yettinahole project as directed by Ahmed Patel, political secretary to Sonia Gandhi, Poojary replied in the negative and said this was a sign of haughtiness on part of the CM.

When queried that despite this "act of haughtiness" of Siddaramaiah as described by him, the CM was still going ahead with implementation of the project, Poojary said, "Wait and Watch. I know what the Nehru family can do. Siddaramaiah does not. I have been in New Delhi (and know all this too well)," he said, adding people in Congress who do not tow to the party high command line will face the consequences. "It is better that Siddaramaiah drops the project," he added.

Very strange politics, Poojary sab is a honest man but like Pathan Dhimak.

A wise politician does not do such public attack against own party leaders. His policy does not work in Indian politics.
He should discuss with party high command.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.

Udupi: A 40-year-old NRI from Udupi has reportedly lost more than Rs 12.25 lakh in an online investment scam operated through Telegram.

According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, Leo Jerome Mendonsa, who has been working in Dubai for the past 15 years in computer accessories sales, maintains NRI accounts in Karkala and Nitte.

On November 12, 2025, Mendonsa was added to a Telegram group called Instaflow Earnings by unknown individuals. Users identified as Priya and Dipannita persuaded him to invest in “Revenue Tasks.” Initially, Mendonsa transferred Rs 1,100 multiple times and received the promised returns, encouraging him to continue.

On November 14, another user, Nishmitha Shetty, directed him to register on a website, digitvisionuoce.cc, and invest Rs 4 lakh in various shares. Over the next few days, he made multiple transfers totaling Rs 12,25,000, including Rs 50,000 via Google Pay, believing the scheme was legitimate.

After receiving the money, the alleged handlers stopped responding, and neither the invested amount nor the promised profits were returned.

The CEN police have registered a case under Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act and Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and investigations are ongoing.
