Amit Shah showers praises on BSY, says Karnataka BJP govt will complete term and return to power again

Bengaluru, Jan 17: The BJP government in Karnataka will not only complete its term, but also return to power for another term in the next election, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Saturday, even as he showered praises on Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.

Shah’s remark came at a time when speculation continued on Yediyurappa’s continuation as chief minister.

“I keep reading statements made by Congress leaders. I want to tell all those speculating that the government will complete its term. In the next election, the BJP will come to power for another five years,” Shah said at an event in Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru.

“Those criticising should instead work staying amongst the people. Ours is a party that works for the welfare of the people,” Shah said, targeting the Congress.

Hailing the Yediyurappa administration, Shah said Karnataka has done “very well” in managing the Covid-19 pandemic. “I have interacted with CMs of all states. As my department is the nodal agency, I get all the statistics. I have no hesitation in saying that Karnataka, under Yediyurappa’s leadership, has done great work,” Shah said, while lauding the police for effective enforcement of lockdowns and quarantining.

The Centre and the state governments are committed to infrastructure and other developmental works in Karnataka. “We are with the chief minister and for the welfare of the state," Shah said.

Shah’s endorsement of Yediyurappa’s leadership came even as a section of BJP legislators is said to be miffed with his style of functioning. Also, Yediyurappa would look to use this to consolidate his position amid Congress leaders claiming that he would not last long in the top post.

Shah was in Vidhana Soudha to flag off 150 emergency response vehicles and virtually inaugurate Police Gruha 2025, a scheme to construct over 10,000 police quarters. Shah also virtually opened the multi-storey police quarters in Bengaluru and the Indian Reserve Battalion Complex in Vijayapura.

Udupi NRI duped of Rs 12.25 lakh in Telegram investment scam

News Network

December 4,2025

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.
