BJP gives false info on single site norm: Mayor
Mangaluru, May 8: Mayor Bhaskar Moily alleged that the BJP has been giving false information on single site norm.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, Moily said that it was BJP which brought in single site norm during 2014. But now, it has been pointing towards Congress. The Congress has done various development works in its tenure. But the BJP leaders have been making baseless allegations. MLA JR Lobo has given priority on rural areas and worked in providing basic facilities like title deeds, house construction, development of markets and others. But let Yogish Bhat of BJP tell the people about his achievements in his four terms as MLA, he asked.
Under Nagarottana second stage special package, total 141 works were sanctioned in the city corporation limits. Of which 117 works were already completed and 17 are under progress, tender was called for remaining seven works. Out of Rs 100 crore, Rs 96 crore was already released and Rs 64.37 crore was already spent for various works, he said.
Deputy mayor Mohmmed Kunjattabail, former mayor Harinath, Mahabala Marla, city corporation chief whip Shashidhar Hegde, Congress leaders Santosh Shetty, Deepak Poojary and others were present.

ECI website faces outage amid vote counting in Jharkhand, Maharashtra
New Delhi: Election Commission of India’s official results website ‘results.eci.gov.in’ has reportedly experienced a technical outage on Saturday morning, at a time when India closely watches the high-stakes Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly poll battle.
Visitors visiting the site were met with non-functional links and a generic “counting in progress” message, leaving them without updated election data. The ECI has not issued an official explanation for the disruption.
Vote counting, which began at 8 a.m. with postal ballots, is underway for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra and 81 in Jharkhand. Early trends suggest a lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra, currently ahead in 141 seats, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is leading in 96. In Jharkhand, the BJP-led NDA is ahead in 43 seats, while the ruling JMM-led alliance is trailing with leads in 33 constituencies.
Additionally, counting is underway for 48 assembly bypolls across 13 states and two parliamentary seats, Nanded in Maharashtra and Wayanad in Kerala.
