Shobha Karandlaje claims over 2 lakh toilets built in Udupi-Chikmagalur under Swacch Bharat
Udupi: Udupi-Chikmagalur MP and BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje on Wednesday claimed that about 2 lakh toilets have been built in the constituency under Swacch Bharat programme.
Shobha, on Wednesday tweeted the claim and added that Swacch Bharat is not just about cleanliness but also a matter of pride of the women of the country.
In her tweet, which also had a promotional video attached, Shobha thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the initiative.
She added, “70 years of Independence, it took this one man to respond! In Udupi-Chikmagalur only more than 2L toilets have been built”. (Sic)
The video attached with the tweet emphasizes the difficulties women in more than two lac homes were facing for not having toilets and had to wait for ‘Sun to set’ for attending the nature’s call in open space.
The video comes days after her own party workers in the constituency started #ShobhaGoBack movement on twitter, asking the party to replace her with other leader in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. It can be her reply to the party workers to stake claim on the party’s ticket from the constituency.
#SwacchBharat is not just about cleanliness, but it's also a matter of pride for our women.

Broken relationships don't automatically amount to abetment of suicide: SC
New Delhi (PTI): Broken relationships, while emotionally distressing, do not automatically amount to abetment of suicide in the absence of intention leading to the criminal offence, the Supreme Court on Friday said.
The observations came from a bench of Justices Pankaj Mithal and Ujjal Bhuyan in a judgement, which overturned the conviction of one Kamaruddin Dastagir Sanadi by the Karnataka High Court for the offences of cheating and abetment of suicide under the IPC.
"This is a case of a broken relationship, not criminal conduct," the judgment said.
Sanadi was initially charged under Sections 417 (cheating), 306 (abetment of suicide), and 376 (rape) of the IPC.
While the trial court acquitted him of all the charges, the Karnataka High Court, on the state's appeal, convicted him of cheating and abetment of suicide, sentencing him to five years imprisonment and imposing Rs 25,000 in fine.
According to the FIR registered at the mother's instance, her 21-year-old daughter was in love with the accused for the past eight years and died by suicide in August, 2007, after he refused to keep his promise to marry.
Writing a 17-page judgement, Justice Mithal analysed the two dying declarations of the woman and noted that neither was there any allegation of a physical relationship between the couple nor there was any intentional act leading to the suicide.
The judgement therefore underlined broken relationships were emotionally distressing, but did not automatically amount to criminal offences.
"Even in cases where the victim dies by suicide, which may be as a result of cruelty meted out to her, the courts have always held that discord and differences in domestic life are quite common in society and that the commission of such an offence largely depends upon the mental state of the victim," said the apex court.
The court further said, "Surely, until and unless some guilty intention on the part of the accused is established, it is ordinarily not possible to convict him for an offence under Section 306 IPC.”
The judgement said there was no evidence to suggest that the man instigated or provoked the woman to die by suicide and underscored a mere refusal to marry, even after a long relationship, did not constitute abetment.
