Shatrughan Sinha lashes out at BJP for forming govt in Karnataka without majority
Patna, May 17: Questioning the very decision of his own party BJP in forming the government in Karnataka without having majority, party MP Shatrughan Sinha said that beyond the public opinion, money politics is neither acceptable nor desirable.
In a series of tweets, Sinha said that the JDS-Congress combine should have given the chance to form the government has the post-poll alliance has the majority. “Why are we playing with the fire? Those who advocate democracy are making mockery of it. The people who do not forget to give speeches on values of democracy are killing the entire democratic system. It is not possible to accept the politics dominated by the money instead of public verdict. It is not desirable. You cannot make all fool at all time to get the power and it is not advisable”, he tweeted.
“It may be termed as penny wise pound foolish politics. Let us wish that good sense, maturity and wisdom should prevail. Now, the issue is in the court. We hold judiciary in a high esteem. Let us wait and see. At this time, any person wishes that the justice prevails. What is right for Peter should be right for Paul too. In the same way, what is right for Meghalaya, Manipur and Goa should be right for Karnataka. Let the God save Karnataka and democracy. Jai Hind”, Sinha tweeted.
It can be recalled that though the BJP was not the single largest party in all these three states, it has formed governments with post-poll alliances in those states.

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.
