God is greater than the one who kills: MLA Mankala Vaidya
Bhatkal: Bhatkal MLA Mankala Subba Vaidya said that whoever may be the person who attacked me, but the god, who is protecting me, is greater than the killer. "God's protection, poor people's blessings will always be there with me," he added.
The MLA's statement came after he escaped unhurt on Sunday, in a bomb blast which took place about 40-50 meters away from him.
It is believed that the incident was planned to kill the MLA.
"Those, who do not like my speed development, have attempted to kill me. I do not want to accuse anybody in this regard, but it was a politically motivated attempt. I trust God, and people of my constituency stood by me. I believe that police department will take stern action against the culprit. Who was he and why did he want to kill me, answers to all such questions will be cleared only after a thorough police investigation," Mankala Subba Vaidya said.

Deir al-Balah, Nov 1: Israeli airstrikes on Friday killed at least 24 people in northeastern Lebanon, the country's news agency said, raising the death toll from eight there.
It was the latest deadly toll in the area since the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah escalated last month.
Israel's military has said that its operation in Lebanon is targeting Hezbollah's military infrastructure.
Lebanon's state National news Agency reported four airstrikes in different villages across country's northeast, saying rescuers were still searching for survivors in Younine, a town in the Bekaa Valley, from the rubble of a targeted house.
Hussein Haj Hassan, a Lebanese lawmaker representing the region in Baalbek-Hermel region, said that 60,000 people have already fled their homes in the area due to Israeli bombardment.
