Mangalore, Dec 18: Vexed over BJP leader Dr Subramanian Swamy's remarks against Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, the party workers in Mangalore on Tuesday gheraoed Circuit House where the former was staying.

On Tuesday, Dr Swamy delivered a lecture on “Present political situation and relevance of Narendra Modi's leadership” at AB Shetty Hall in the city.

He termed Rahul Gandhi as a 'Buddhu and drug addict' who has zero potential.

Mounting a personal attack on Rahul Gandhi, he also said, Rahul Gandhi is an idiot, no knowledge of politics and is into cocaine, which apparently suggests that he is a drug addict.

Irked over his “low-level” remarks a group of congress men led by MLA J R Lobo, Youth Congress president Mithun Rai raised the slogans against Swamy and demanded to apologise.

Dr Swamy had said that Narendra Modi had no challenges and congress has no candidates to field for prime ministers race. “Congress chief, Sonia Ghandhi wants to field Rahul Ghandi, who has zero potential. But with this country has challenges created by present government,” he said.

Swamy said India has five challenges like corruption, collapse of economy, threat on national security, reputation in world and 'participation note'.

“Since country is led by congress party, economical inflation is taking place. Corruption is ruling nation and leading in fall in rupee value against dollar. Crores of 'black money' being deposited in foreign countries and led the commoners to suffer. This situation created threat from Pakhistani agencies to create threat to internal security and they have every record of corrupt politician's black money,” he stated.

Further he said, 'participation notes' are the worst part of corruption, where Indian rupee spent in buying foreign currency through illegal transaction. Later same invested in India through foreign direct investment with the help of some other countries and take tax benefits. This is a major threat to every sector in country, he said adding that, “If all the black money is bought back to India, then we have no need to pay tax in future,” he added.

“Due to flow of black money in country production cost of goods and land value is increasing. Another side P Chidambaram, finance minister is promoting corruption. 2G spectrum scam and allowing Wall-mart in Indian market are among those. Through 'forward trading' many farmers are looted and consumers are kept away from market fluctuation in agricultural product,” said Dr Swamy.

Lamenting congress led UPA government country he said, if the BJP comes into power in state then in another five years of rule rupee value will be bought into 10:1$. I have caught many corrupt leaders and I am waiting to catch P Chidambaram's scams, he said.

However, to secure a developing country the technology has to be grown. Even the education has to be given to all. This will help in having a corruption free nation, he opined.

Muslims have to accept their ancestors were Hindus

Taliban is a threat to India. But able leadership can make them to get scared of India and country need an eligible leader.

“Even the Muslims have to accept that we are all Hindustanis and their ancestors were also Hindus. Every religion is interlinked and in past we were divided as caste for the social change. But present we are all inter depended and no need of caste tagline, he said.

Meanwhile Dr Subramanian Swamy released a book 'The Tyrant of Mysore” by Sandeep Balakrishnan on Tipu Sulthan.

President of Shrinivas Group of Colleges, A Raghavendra Rao and Chakravarthy Sulibele were the chief guest of the occasion.

Mangaluru: The block level and District Congress Committee presidents in the state will be changed in the next one month for better reach into society and bring in organisational fortification, said Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee working president G C Chandrasheker on Saturday.

The All India Congress Committee and KPCC have a vision for bringing a change in how the party works with the last man and woman in the state, he said at a press conference here.

"We are looking at bringing development models into the state with a new vision. We are a party that likes to work with the opposition in the developmental aspects and keep all other matters away that do not relate to the development of the state.

"We have a great respect for the people of the coast who are considered to be forward-looking and perceptible, but it is also true that we do not have the numbers in the upper house and in the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)," he said.

"Our endeavour is to not only create a strong pro-development workforce at the base level by strengthening the second and third level leadership in the state," he said.

Chandrasheker, who is also a Rajya Sabha member, said that he and his four colleagues of the rank of working presidents of the KPCC are going to every district to infuse the new thinking in our workers and leaders.

"This move will get a new surge considering the party is facing byelections in Shiggaon, Chennapatna and Sandhur segments and also vacant seats in the legislative council, followed by elections to the Urban Local Bodies and Panchayats" he said.

When asked about the reason for the changes, Chandrashekar said most of the people have already lived their tenures. The party wants to reward those who have not been given tickets to contest in the 2023 state assembly elections and 2024 Lok Sabha elections for political reasons.

There are quite good leaders and hard-working ground level workers who have great potential to lead the party in the coming years, he said.

"Women will get at least one top post in all District Congress Committees and block levels. There is also a move to give responsible positions for the workers and leaders coming from different strata of society, which are deliverable. The party will not shy away from it," he said.

The other two working presidents, Dr Manjunath Bhandary and Vasanth Kumar, were also present at the press conference.

Kumar said some of the regions in the state are dominated by the BJP. "We want to end this run and defeat the divisive models of the BJP." Bhandary said the Indian National Congress was aiming at a high development phase in the state and involve the opposition parties and their leaders in the development plans in the state.

In a heartbreaking incident, a beautiful journey of love and new beginnings was abruptly shattered by a tragic accident on the Mangaluru-Bengaluru highway at Talapady in Bantwal taluk on Saturday, September 7.

Manasa, a newlywed bride, lost her life in a devastating car accident, leaving her husband, Aneesh Krishna, critically injured.

The couple, who had just begun their marital journey on September 5, was returning from a temple visit to settle dues when fate took a cruel turn. Their Alto car, in which they were traveling from B C Road towards Mangaluru, skidded off course after the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to jump the divider and collide head-on with a KSRTC bus.

In the blink of an eye, their world crumbled. The impact was so severe that their car was left mangled, with Manasa tragically losing her life at the scene. Aneesh, fighting for his life, has been rushed to a private hospital in Mangaluru.

Manasa and Aneesh, both professionals working in a private company in Mangaluru, had dreams of a life together, filled with shared moments and cherished memories. The couple's love story, celebrated just days ago with their wedding at the Denthadka Temple, now echoes in the hearts of their grieving families, forever marred by this tragic accident.

The Melkar police arrived swiftly at the scene and have begun their investigation, hoping to bring clarity to this devastating event.

In the aftermath of this tragic accident, the community mourns the loss of a young bride and prays for the recovery of a husband left fighting for his life.
