Udupi/Karwar, May 8: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday campaigned for May 12 Karnataka assembly polls in Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts.

Addressing a BJP rally at Maravanthe in Udupi district, Yogi accused the chief minister Siddaramaiah led Congress government of destroying Karnataka.

Reacting to the comment of Siddaramaiah over his frequent visit to Karnataka at a time when dozens killed in Uttar Pradesh due to dust storm, Yogi said that the pathetic plight of farmers, fishermen and youth in the south Indian state had prompted him visit Karnataka time and again.

Addressing an election rally in Kumta, Yogi invoked "ancient relations" between Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. "Karnataka and Uttara Pradesh have close relations. While Rama took birth in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka is the birthplace of Hanuman. Bhyraveshwara of Kashi is Kalabhyraveshwara in Adichunchanagiri. And now you have BJP government in Uttar Pradesh and hence Karnataka too should be governed by the same party," he said.

Yogi said that the schemes of the Modi government could reach people if the government of the same party is brought to power in Karnataka also.
Addressing an election meet in Murdeshwar, Bhatkal taluk, Yogi alleged that the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government had got killed many Hindu activists by entering into a secret pact with jihadi elements.

He said that terrorists were holed up across the country including Bhatkal. The Murdeshwara temple visited by thousands of devotees every day faces threat from ultras. "We have to wipe off the blot on Bhatkal and to do so voters should teach a befitting lesson to jihadis and anti-nationals in this election," he added.

Earlier, the UP chief minister performed Rudrabhisheka at the Murdeshwara temple.

From Representation to Rivalry: The Sorry State of Muslim Leadership in Karnataka Congress

coastaldigest.com news network

January 19,2026

Bengaluru: As the dust settles on the recent legislative session, the corridors of Vidhana Soudha are buzzing with more than just policy talk. A high-stakes game of political musical chairs has begun, exposing a deepening rift within the Congress party’s Muslim leadership as a major Cabinet reshuffle looms.

With the party hierarchy signaling a "50% refresh" to gear up for the 2028 Assembly elections, the race to fill three projected Muslim ministerial berths has transformed from a strategic discussion into an all-out turf war.

The "Star Son" Spark

The internal friction turned public this week following provocative remarks by Zaid Khan, actor and son of Wakf Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan. Zaid’s claim—that his father "helped" secure a ticket for Shivajinagar MLA Rizwan Arshad in 2023—has acted as a lightning rod for resentment.

Rizwan’s camp was quick to fire back, dismissing the comment as a desperate attempt by Zameer to manufacture seniority. "Rizwan’s political pedigree was forged in the NSUI and Youth Congress long before Zameer even stepped into the party," a supporter noted, highlighting Rizwan’s tenure as an AICC secretary and his two-term presidency of the State Youth Congress.

A Tale of Two Loyalists

While both Zameer Ahmed Khan and Rizwan Arshad are staunch allies of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and represent Bengaluru strongholds, their political DNA could not be more different:

• Zameer Ahmed Khan: A four-time MLA who crossed over from JD(S) in 2018. Known for his "overzealous" and often polarizing outreach during communal flashpoints—from the DJ Halli riots to the recent Wakf land notice controversy—his style has frequently left the Congress high command in a state of "discomfort."

• Rizwan Arshad: A homegrown organizational man. Seen as a "quiet performer," Arshad represents the sophisticated, moderate face of the party, preferred by those who find Zameer’s brand of politics too volatile.

The Outsiders Looking In

The bickering isn't limited to a duo. The "Beary" community, represented by leaders like N A Haris and Saleem Ahmed, is demanding its pound of flesh. Saleem Ahmed, the Chief Whip in the Legislative Council, has dropped the veil of diplomacy, openly declaring his ministerial aspirations.

"I was the only working president not included in the Cabinet last time," Saleem noted pointedly, signaling that the "loyalty quota" is no longer enough to keep the peace.

As Chief Minister Siddaramaiah prepares to finalize the list, he faces a delicate balancing act: rewarding the aggressive grassroots mobilization of Zameer’s camp without alienating the organizational stalwarts and minority sub-sects who feel increasingly sidelined by the "Chamarajpet-Shivajinagar" binary.

Udupi youth falls prey to online scam, loses Rs 2.19 lakh while seeking loan for sister’s wedding

News Network

January 10,2026

Udupi: In a shocking case of digital deception, a 32-year-old resident of Nadpalu village lost Rs 2.19 lakh after falling victim to an online loan scam while desperately seeking funds for his sister’s wedding.

According to the complaint filed with Hebri Police, Ramesh (32) received a call around 10 am on January 2 from an unknown number. The caller identified himself as Ravi Kumar S, claiming to represent a non-banking finance company offering quick online loans.

Needing urgent financial support for the marriage expenses, Ramesh enquired about the loan details. The caller allegedly promised a 3% interest rate with a monthly EMI of Rs 6,289 for five years, assuring a smooth approval process. Believing the offer to be genuine, Ramesh agreed to proceed.

Police said the fraudster then demanded multiple payments under different pretexts, claiming they were part of the loan processing formalities. Between January 2 and January 5, Ramesh transferred Rs 2,19,500 across 36 separate online transactions.

Realising he had been cheated, Ramesh approached Hebri Police, who registered a case under Sections 318(4) and 319(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act for online impersonation and fraud.

Police have initiated an investigation to trace the accused and have once again urged the public to verify the authenticity of financial service providers before making any payments.
