Congress stages protest against Rafael Deal in Udupi: Lathis displayed during protest rally
Udupi: Demanding a thorough probe into the Narendra Modi-led central BJP government’s 41,000 crore Rafael Aircraft scandal, the Udupi District Congress led a protest in front of DC office on Tuesday.
In the protest march from the Manipal Tiger Circle to the Deputy Commissioner's office, more than 200 activists raised slogans against PM Narendra Modi and displayed lathis to express their outrage. Thousands of leaders and activists witnessed the protest.
Addressing the protesters in front of the Deputy Commissioner's Office, former minister Vinay Kumar Sorake said that the nation had faced a loss of Rs. 41,000 crore due to Rafael Aircraft scandal. This is the most significant corruption of this century. While the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is involved in this scam, the Joint Parliamentary Committee comprising all parties must probe this, he urged.
Peaking at the occasion, former MLA Gopal Bhandari said, "It is impossible to find unity in the nation with misunderstandings and lack of trust. We all have to move together with secularism, brotherhood, and harmony. But the BJP has risen to power by dividing people in the name of religions, creating misunderstandings and destroying people’s sentiments. That is why the country's condition has reached this level today, he said.
District Congress President Janardhana Thonse, MLC K Pratapchandra Shetty, former MLA Gopal Poojary, State INTUC President Rakesh Malli, KPCC General Secretary GA. Bava, MA Gafoor, leaders Mamata Gatti, Deviprasad Shetty, Veronica Cornelio, Raju Poojary, Amrut Shenoy, Haryana, Neere Krishna Shetty, Navinchandra Shetty, and others were present.
They later submitted a memorandum regarding this to the Deputy Commissioner via Additional Deputy Commissioner Vidya Kumari.

Telangana to name roads after Ratan Tata, Donald Trump
Hyderabad (PTI): The Telangana government on Sunday said it has decided to name the upcoming greenfield radial road at the proposed RRR in honour of the late industrialist Ratan Tata.
In another proposal, a high-profile road along the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad will be named ‘Donald Trump Avenue’, the government said in a release.
The state government will write to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy to inform them of the plans.
Earlier this year, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, while addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) conclave in Delhi, had proposed naming key roads in Hyderabad after leading global corporations.
Additionally, a prominent stretch will be named ‘Google Street’ to recognise the global impact and contribution of Google and Google Maps.
The road along Google’s upcoming campus, set to be the company’s largest outside the US, in Hyderabad’s Financial District, will receive this recognition, the release said.
The proposals are part of the Telangana government’s initiative to position the state as a hub for innovation-driven development.
Microsoft and Wipro are also expected to receive recognition in the city’s topography, with a Wipro Junction and a Microsoft Road, in line with the chief minister’s vision, the release added.
The state government is considering dedicating additional roads in honour of distinguished individuals and corporations.
