Get set for Lok Sabha polls: Dr. G. Parameshwar
Udupi, July 21: Start preparing for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections by compensating the flaws in the assembly polls. Rahul Gandhi must be made prime minister by getting 20 seats in Karnataka.
He was speaking at a KPCC office bearer and District Congress presidents meeting.
“Despite giving good governance, schemes; somewhere we stumbled. No charges of corruption against our previous government have also been heard. We gave good governance. We were confident of winning the 125 places,” he said.
Those mistakes should not be repeated this time. Entire country’s responsibility has come on young leader Rahul Gandhi. His words were more relevant in Parliament yesterday. He came down heavily on Modi government. All of us need his administration.
We had created booth-level committees in the last assembly elections last time. This time, these committees should be used more efficiently.
“The new presidents should create new committees and share the work with everyone. Each activist of the Congress will get a place in the party. Thus everyone should work for the party,” Parameshwar said.

Bihar hooch tragedy toll rises to nine as three more persons die
Motihari (PTI): The toll in the hooch tragedy in Bihar's East Champaran district rose to nine on Sunday after three more people who had consumed spurious liquor died, officials said.
The first death was reported on Thursday, they said.
A total of 15 people have been arrested in connection with the deaths in the Turkauliya and Raghunathpur areas of Motihari, District Magistrate Saurabh Jorwal said.
A case of murder has already been registered on the basis of complaints filed by the family members of the deceased, police said.
Jorwal said one person is still in the hospital and his condition is reported to be critical.
"Seven persons have already been discharged after treatment," he told PTI.
"The bodies of the deceased have been sent for post-mortem examination. The exact cause of the deaths can only be known after the reports arrive," he said.
The SHO of Turkauliya police station has already been suspended on charge of dereliction of duty, and a special investigation team has been constituted to probe the incident, officials said.
The deaths have led to a political slugfest in the state, where the sale and consumption of alcohol has been banned since 2016.
