Bengaluru, Dec 6: Stating that brining the uniform civil code in India is the next target of the Bharatiya Janata Party, its National General Secretary C T Ravi said the party has never backtracked on its words and will fulfil the promise.

Ravi told reporters here on Saturday that BJP abrogated Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir as assured and also fulfilled its promises of construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya.

"There should not be doubts among the people and uniform civil code too was in the offing," he said.

He said he failed to understand why farmers were protesting against new agricultural laws.

“Farmers should compare the contributions made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi government with those of the earlier governments. We want to protect interests of farmers and new laws were for their benefit,” he said.

“We want the farmers to double their income,” Ravi stated.

Karkala Theme Park scam: Sculptor arrested over fake bronze statue

News Network

November 11,2024

Udupi, Nov 11: The Karkala town police in Udupi have arrested Krishna Naik, the sculptor responsible for installing a 33-foot Parashurama statue at Umikkal Hill in Bailur, Karkala taluk.

Naik, the owner of Krish Art World and a resident of Bengaluru's Visvesvaraya Layout, was apprehended in Mahe, part of the Union Territory of Puducherry, for allegedly substituting a look-alike statue in place of a genuine bronze figure at the Parashurama Theme Park in Karkala.

Udupi Superintendent of Police Dr. Arun K confirmed the arrest, stating that Naik faces charges under Sections 420 (cheating) and 409 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code.

This legal action followed a complaint lodged in June by Krishna Shetty, a resident of Nallur village, Karkala. Shetty claimed that Naik had received a payment of ₹1,25,50,000 from Udupi Nirmithi Kendra for the installation of a bronze Parashurama statue. However, Naik allegedly deceived the government by installing a replica instead.

The statue was unveiled on January 27, 2023, by then Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. Current Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has since ordered a CID investigation to probe deeper into the alleged fraud surrounding the statue's installation at the theme park.
