Kalaburagi, Jan 23: State BJP?president B?S?Yeddyurappa on Sunday said the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade will not be accepted by the party at any cost. Speaking to journalists before attending the two-day BJP state executive meeting which concluded here on Sunday, Yeddyurappa said, “Anti-party activities are being carried out in the name of Sangolli Rayanna Brigade and that will affect the party's unity.”

A clear instruction has been given to the BJP workers associated with the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade in this regard during the state executive meeting on Saturday, he said without taking the name of senior party leader K S Eshwarappa, who is the force behind the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade.

Participating in the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade convention, which is being held elsewhere when the party's executive meeting is on, in Kalaburagi will send a wrong message to the people of the state, he said. He was apparently referring to the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade convention that was organised at Afzalpur in the district on Sunday. “Hence, party workers have been strictly instructed not to participate in the convention. The party seniors are keeping tabs on all the developments and will take a decision in accordance with the circumstances,” he said.

Replying to a query, Yeddyurappa said a lot of people had expressed their discontent about the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade and its activities at the state executive meeting on Saturday. “They have also shared their opinion in this regard with the BJP national general secretary incharge of Karnataka, P Muralidhar Rao. In the coming days, the discontent among the party members will be addressed and there will be unity in the party,” he added.

BJP?state general secretary and MLA C T Ravi said the party seniors are observing all the activities of the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade. Any activity against the party was unacceptable and workers should be committed to the unity of the party and for the development of the state, he added. Later, addressing the state executive meeting, Yeddyurappa announced that next state executive meeting will be held in Mysuru on May 6 and 7. The party members from Mysuru district greeted the announcement with a thunderous applause.

Convention on Jan 26

The Sangolli Rayanna Brigade's state-level convention will be held at Kudala Sangama in Bagalkot district on January 26. “There should not be any doubt in this regard,” said Eshwarappa. Speaking to journalists, he said the BJP seniors have been apprised of the purpose of the Brigade. “Internal differences of opinion in the party will be resolved in the coming days,” added Eshwarappa, who is Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council.

Madikeri, May 11: Kodagu police have apprehended the man allegedly responsible for the brutal murder of a minor girl within the confines of Kumbaragadige village in Karnataka's Somwarpet taluk. 

Kodagu Superintendent of Police, K Ramarajan, disclosed that the arrested individual is Prakash (32) from Hammiyala village in Somwarpet taluk. However, authorities are still in the process of recovering the severed head of the victim. The perpetrator had absconded with the victim's severed head after committing the crime. 

Search operations for the suspect commenced late on Thursday night (May 9), with officials diligently pursuing leads. Acting on information suggesting the suspect's presence in a forested area near the village, the police swiftly moved in and apprehended him.

The victim US Meena, 15, a student of Surlabbi High School, had passed the SSLC examinations, the results of which were announced on May. One same day, she was murdered. 

Reportedly, the engagement of the minor girl with the suspect was thwarted by officials from the Women and Child Development department. Subsequently, officials persuaded the girl's parents against proceeding with the marriage. 

However, despite these interventions, the suspect forcibly entered her residence during the night, purportedly abducted her, and later perpetrated the heinous crime in a wooded area on the outskirts of the forest, before absconding with her severed head.

Karnataka: BJP leader and advocate G Devaraje Gowda was arrested in connection with a sex abuse video allegedly belonging to Hassan JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna.

According to police, Devaraje Gowda was arrested at Gulihal tollgate by the Hiriyur police in this district on Friday night for leaking the video in a pen drive.

He was arrested on a tip-off received by the Hassan police, which wanted his presence for the case.

Several explicit videos involving Prajwal started making the rounds ahead of the first phase of Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka, which took place on April 26.

The MP, a grandson of former prime minister H D Deve Gowda, is absconding and a 'blue corner' notice has been issued against him by Interpol.

Three FIRs, including charges of rape, molestation, intimidation, blackmailing and threatening, have been registered against Prajwal.

Devaraje Gowda is accused of leaking these videos, which he has categorically rejected.

He contested in the 2023 Assembly elections against JD(S) MLA from Holenarasipura H D Revanna.

H D Revanna, father of Prajwal, is at present in jail on charges of kidnapping a woman, a mother of three.

Ahead of polls, Devaraje Gowda had warned BJP’s central leadership against backing Prajwal Revanna and brought his sex scandal to light.

Bagalkot, Apr 29: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday accused the Congress of planning religion-based reservation in the country for the sake of vote bank politics but asserted that he will not let it happen.

He said this Congress proposal is to appease minorities as the SC/ST and OBC community is now with the BJP.

"In Karnataka, Congress has started a campaign to change the Constitution and to snatch away the rights of SC/ST and OBCs. Our Constitution does not accept religion-based reservation. But the Karnataka government has given part of OBC reservation to Muslims," Modi said.

Addressing a mega election rally in this district headquarters town, he said, "They (Congress) will not settle with this. They had earlier too in their manifesto said about coming out with a law to provide religion-based reservation. There is a similar signal in their manifesto this time."

"I want to make my Dalit, SC/ST and OBC brothers and sisters aware about Congress' intentions. These people on the basis of religion, to keep their vote bank safe, are planning to loot your right which was given by Babasaheb Ambedkar and the Constitution," he added.

Veteran BJP leader B S Yediyurappa, BJP candidates and MPs from Bagalkot (Bagalkot) and Vijayapura (Bijapur) - P C Gaddigoudar and Ramesh Jigajinagi, respectively - were among those present at the rally.

Noting that most of SC, ST and OBC MPs in the Parliament are from BJP, Modi said, "So they feel that as SC, ST and OBC are with BJP. To gain the trust of minorities, they want to loot from SC, ST and OBC and give it to minorities. Will you let this happen?"

"I want to guarantee today to my Dalit, Adivasi and OBC brothers and sisters. I will not let such intentions of Congress be successful. To protect your rights, your reservation, Modi will go to any extent. I'm assuring you this," he added.
