Ramanath Rai has entered into a ‘nikah’ with SDPI after paying huge ‘mahr’: BJP

Mangaluru, Apr 29: The hatred between Congress veteran B Ramanath Rai and Social Democratic Party of Indian has now turned into love and both have entered into wedlock, according to Harikrishna Bantwal, Spokesperson of Dakshina Kannada district unit of Bharatiya Janata Party.

Mr Bantwal, who was expelled from the Congress party in 2015 on charge of anti-party activities, joined the BJP in 2017. In last two years he has held a series of press conferences to criticise Mr Rai, the Minister for Forest, Environment and Ecology, and a six time MLA from Bantwal constituency.

On Saturday, addressing a press conference in the city, Mr Bantwal said that Mr Rai, who had been claiming for last five years that communal groups would not be allowed to come near him, has entered into a ‘nikah’ with SDPI by paying a huge amount of ‘mahr’.

Mr Bantwal went on to claim that Mr Rai and other leaders of Congress in the coastal district have reached a secret pact with those who murdered Hindutva activists.

“The process of this secret agreement had begun when the Congress government of Karnataka withdrew cases against SDPI and PFI activists,” he said adding that Mr Rai’s true colour has now come to the fore.

It’s worth mentioning here that Bantwal’s SDPI candidate Riyaz Farangipete, who had vowed to defeat Mr Rai in May 12 Karnataka Assembly polls, took a U-turn all of a sudden and withdrew his nomination papers last Friday.

SDPI supporters please stay away from BJP and JDS.

Because of SDPI's poor decission to run in the previous election BJP won

Congress lost (because Muslim votes got divided between SDPI and Congress.

Promising life cut short: Mangaluru college student killed in Padubidri road accident

News Network

November 30,2025

Mangaluru, Nov 30: A 22-year-old college student succumbed to her injuries at a private hospital in Mangaluru today, days after she was hit by a goods tempo while crossing a road in Padubidri.

The deceased has been identified as Preksha, a resident of Nadsalu Billitota in Padubidri. The fatal incident occurred as Preksha, who was returning home after completing her examination, attempted to cross the service road towards Mangaluru. She was struck by a goods tempo approaching from the Udupi side, causing her to fall and sustain a severe head injury.

Prompt action from local residents ensured she received immediate first aid before being rushed to a hospital in Mangaluru for specialised treatment. Despite medical efforts, she passed away while undergoing care.

Preksha was a student at Karavali College, Vamanjoor on the outskirts of Mangaluru city. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that she belonged to a financially vulnerable family, having previously lost her father. She is survived by her mother and brother.

A case related to the accident has been registered at the Padubidri police station, and an investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collision. The incident highlights the growing concerns over road safety, particularly on busy service roads, and serves as a tragic reminder of the human cost of traffic accidents.
