Vijaya Karnataka, the Kannada daily from The Times of India group, has a new editor: Sugata Srinivasaraju, the former associate editor, south, of Outlook* magazine. He takes over from Vasant Nadiger who was officiating as editor following the sudden death of E. Raghavan in March.
Raghavan had taken over VK from the paper’s longstanding editor Vishweshwar Bhat, who has since moved to Kannada Prabha, the Kannada daily owned by the mobile phone baron turned parliamentarian, Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
ToI bought Vijaya Karnataka in 2006 from the truck operator Vijay Sankeshwar, who launched a new title called Vijaya Vani following the end of the five-year no-compete clause with Bennett Coleman & Co Ltd. Vijaya Karnataka also faces growing competition from former market leader Praja Vani (from the Deccan Herald group).

Hi VK,
I am Rashmi. I had red the article in the ‘Gullo gullu’ column which was published on Aug 24th , 2012(friday). I came to know that article has been written by Mr. Mahesh. The was about Pooja bedi : targeting Prothima Bedi. She(Prothima Bedi) was a great dancer more ever she is a women. Mr. Mahesh does not have rights to speak about a personal affairs of lady(that too she is dead). This shows how that fellow respects the culture/artist of our India. Mr. Mahesh! Please don’t write any stupid facts/ personal life about others. If you want to write use good language do not use foul language on those great artists.
That is there life and their personal life.. NO need to show those things to society. Please target our politicians corruption, at least it will reach to people. Think twice before you write..
I hope my words will reach to the person who I am pointing.
Thanks and Regards,
-Rashmi
The VijayaKarnataka paper is very usefull to people but it gives the advertisement more than matter and it reach’s the homes of villager at 8.30am that is too late because the employers were goes to their work every day at 7.30am and students are goes to school from village to towns at 7.00am that fact is the employers and students are not have time to read the paper .
Sir,
When the whole world is in awe and envy for ISROs achievement in terms of
successful MARS flight, Smt. BT Lalitha Naik’s silly remarks on ISRO
Chairman is a shame on her part.
What is wrong in a little faith.
*Smith Wigglesworth -* “I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by
what I feel. I am moved only by what I believe.”
Its a cheap and noisy campaign by an atheists to demote and ridicule faith.
With no data to support the existence of God, there is also no reason for
religion and science to close the gap between them. A prominent political
person like her should not have resorted to cheap publicity by commenting
on such a senior scientist who has made India proud.
