Mangaluru, Jan 3: Communist Party of India (Marxist) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Tuesday opined that the farmers and labourers will be the twin forces that will stop the Ashwamedha horse of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah.

Addressing a public meeting as part of the 22nd CPI(M) State conference here at Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri on the outskirts of the city, Mr. Yechury said that the BJP was least worried of the problems farmers and the working class are facing because of demonetisation and neo-liberal policies which are winning elections for that party. The farmers and labour form a good force to fight the BJP, he said.

Mr. Yechury said that the Union government was coming up with catchy schemes such as Start-up India and Stand-up India to turn people’s attention away from real issues.

The Union government, he said, was aggressively pushing neo-liberal policies initiated by the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre and it was helping a few wealthy people amass more wealth. While assets worth about 49 % of the Gross Domestic Product was found with one per cent of wealthy people during the UPA government rule at the Centre, the assets with wealthy people have grown to 60 % under the BJP dispensation at the Centre.

Questioning the claims of the BJP that its government is giving corruption-free government, Mr. Yechury said that many of corruption charges against BJP leaders in the last three years have not been inquired into. While Pakistan Prime Minister had to step down after his name figured in the Panama Papers case, no inquiry has been taken up against Prime Minister Narendra Modi whose name also figures in the same list. No inquiry has been initiated on the allegations against Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah, he said.

Earlier, CPI (M) State Secretary G.V. Sriram Reddy and Democratic Youth Federation of India State president Muneer Katipalla led a rally from Alangar to Swaraj Maidan. After the public meeting, Mr. Yechury inaugurated the party’s State conference in the evening.

December 5,2025

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

News Network

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
