Chikkamagaluru Jan 22: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's body language and expressions resemble the character Duryodhana in the Indian epic Mahabharatha, remarked BJP General Secretary C T Ravi.

"The Congress government in the state is definitely a 'Kaurava' government and Siddaramaiah is 'Duryodhana', its head," Ravi quipped.

He was speaking at the BJP's special district meeting here on Monday.

"The CM has said that the upcoming Assembly poll in the state is Kurukshetra war wherein Congress is the Pandava side and BJP is the Kaurava side. But the Congress government is tainted with corruption, murders, rapes and communal clashes. How can it be the Pandava side?" he questioned.

"Lord Krishna is on the side that is Pandava. You have no mind to see Udupi Sri Krishna. You behave like enemies of Krishna. How can you be Pandavas?" Ravi asked Siddaramaiah.

"Sri Krishna is a protector of cows. The state is protecting beef eaters. People who publicly eat beef are in your midst. During the time of the Pandavas, there was peace and plenty," he said.

"If Siddaramaiah's mindset changes then he will safe. He is courting danger if he tries to plays vote bank politics," Ravi added.

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

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.
