Mangaluru roadshow memorable, Mysuru public meeting phenomenal: Modi
Bengaluru (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi described his roadshow last night in Mangaluru as "memorable", and his public meeting in Mysuru, during which he shared the stage with former prime minister H D Deve Gowda, as "phenomenal".
During the public meeting on Sunday evening at Mysuru's Maharaja's College ground, Modi also met Arun Yogiraj, the sculptor of the Ram Lalla idol consecrated at Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Pictures of him Yogiraj greeting the prime minister has gone viral on social media.
"The roadshow in Mangaluru was memorable!" Modi said in a post on social media platform X on Monday, sharing highlights from it.
The Prime Minister on Sunday held a massive roadshow, during which thousands of people showered flower petals as his cavalcade passed through the stretch from Narayana Guru circle to Nava Bharat circle in Mangaluru city in Dakshina Kannada district, a BJP stronghold.
In a separate post, he said the public meeting in Mysuru was "phenomenal" and the support for BJP and JD(S) across all parts of Karnataka "remarkable".
"People are fed up of the Congress and want our alliance to win. It was very special that our former PM and respected statesman H D Deve Gowda ji came for the rally and shared his thoughts," he said.
JD(S) patriarch Deve Gowda too in a post on X on Monday said the NDA rally in Mysuru addressed by Modi was a huge success.
"I greatly enjoyed speaking alongside him. Am always grateful for his affection and generosity. We will work hard to deliver 28 seats from Karnataka and contribute to the 400 seat target," he said.
The JD(S) joined the NDA in September last year. Of the total 28 seats in Karnataka, BJP is contesting in 25 and the JD(S) in three.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
