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.

11 more bodies retrieved from Arunachal accident site
Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
