Mangaluru, Aug 13: Dubbing the August 11 Bengaluru violence as 'fundamentalist madness', Karnataka BJP president Nalin Kumar Kateel has suspected a conspiracy by Muslim dominant organization.

Speaking to media persons, Mr Kateel, who represents Dakshina Kannada constituency in the parliament, said that organisations like Social Democratic Party of India, Popular Front of India and Karnataka Forum for Dignity are conspiring to tarnish the image of BJP government, which according to him is running the administration 'smoothly' in the State.

"It seems to be a systematic plan, as to how around 3,000 people gather suddenly and so many stones and petrol come for causing violence? The government would take stringent action against those responsible for the violence," he said.

A former minister and present MLA had earlier said that the state will be on fire during anti-CAA protest in Mangaluru, he recalled.

Large and Medium Scale Industries Minister Jagadish Shettar said the violence is not a failure of the police, but the incident is condemnable.

Nobody should violate the law in the name of religion. Strict action would be taken against those who create violence in the name of religion, Shettar said.

Udupi district transformed into a sea of saffron and celebration on Friday, November 28, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s roadshow swept through the coastal temple town. Thousands of residents lined the streets, turning the event into a vibrant public spectacle filled with cheers, flags, and festive energy.

The procession route—from the helipad to the historic Sri Krishna Math—was decked with buntings, saffron flags, and multilayered security barricades. One of the district’s largest-ever security deployments was put in place for the high-profile visit, with over 3,000 police personnel on duty. The arrangement included ten SPs, 27 DSPs, 49 inspectors, 127 sub-inspectors, 232 assistant sub-inspectors, 1,608 constables, and 39 women staff.

Six platoons of the Karnataka State Reserve Police, six Quick Response Teams, bomb detection units, and dog squads were stationed across Udupi. Enhanced surveillance covered Adi Udupi, Bannanje bus stand, and the Sri Krishna Math parking zone, with combing operations carried out along the roadshow corridor.

At the 800-year-old Sri Krishna Math, preparations reached a ceremonial peak. Paryaya Puttige Math seer Sugunendra Teertha Swamiji said the Prime Minister would take part in the Laksha Kantha Geetha Parayana, a mass chanting of the Bhagavad Gita by one lakh devotees, and inaugurate the new Suvarna Teertha Mantapa.

“He will first offer floral tributes to saint-poet Kanakadasa and then unveil the golden covering over the Kanakana Kindi,” the seer said.

The Prime Minister will also receive a Poorna Kumbha welcome and have darshan of Lord Sri Krishna, Mukhyaprana Devaru, and the Suvarna Paduke. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi, Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, Minister Bairathi Suresh, Dharmadhikari D. Veerendra Heggade, and seers from the Ashta Maths are expected to join the ceremony.

Ahead of his arrival, the Prime Minister posted on X that he felt “honoured” to attend the spiritually significant gathering. “This is a special occasion that brings together people from different sections of society for a recital of the Gita. This Matha has a very special significance in our cultural life,” he wrote, noting the institution’s long-standing legacy rooted in the teachings of Sri Madhvacharya.
