1. Parts of Dakshina Kannada continue to be tense after the murder of 32-year-old BJP Yuva Morcha activist Praveen Nettaru on Tuesday. The killing of 22-year-old Fazil on Thursday night at Suratkal has added to the tension, though police say the two incidents are not linked. Prohibitory orders are in force in and around the areas where the incidents have occurred. Meanwhile, building pressure on the party and government to take action against the murder of Praveen, several youth wing leaders have resigned from their positions. Striking a tough posture, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Thursday that he is willing to adapt the “Yogi Adityanath model” in Karnataka if necessary.
