A video of an Indian gaur charging at, and injuring a man who got too close and stood in its way, went viral on social media and mobile messaging applications on Tuesday.
The man, identified as Sivakumar, 35, a resident of Kannimariamman Temple Street in Coonoor, was among a handful of residents who ventured out of his house to catch a glimpse of an Indian gaur that was walking through the residential area. While other residents stood to the side of the road, Sivakumar, who is said to have been inebriated, stood in front of the animal, which caused it to panic and charge at him.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
