Nalin Kumar Kateel to be blamed for Vijaya Bank merger with Bank of Baroda: Mahabala Marla
Mangaluru: Former Mayor of the Mangaluru City Municipal Council and District Congress spokesperson Mahabala Marla on Wednesday blamed BJP MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, for the merger of Vijaya Bank with Bank of Baroda.
Speaking at a press conference at the Congress election office at Bendorwell here, Mahabala said “Nalin Kumar Kateel recently said that Congress leader Veerappa Moily and Chidambaram were to be blamed for the merger of the bank, but in reality he has made those allegations to for political gains ahead of the LS Election”.
“For last three years, the Central government did not appoint committee officers for any bank nor did they appoint any government representative for any bank. This was done to hide the irregularities of the government which was providing illegal profits to the corporate entities. Nalin Kumar already knew in advance that this is going to be the fate of Vijaya Bank. He could have resolved the issue by calling for a all party meeting, but he did not opt for it fearing losing out on his ticket from the constituency. Now he is making allegations against senior Congress leaders to cover up his mistakes and blunders” Mahabala said.
Suresh Ballal, TK Sudhir, Stani Alwares, J. Abdul Salim and others were present at the press conference along with Mahabala.

Cop crushed to death by tractor-trolley used for illegal sand mining in MP; 2 held
Shahdol (MP) (PTI): An assistant sub-inspector (ASI) has been crushed to death by a tractor-trolley used for transporting illegally mined sand in Madhya Pradesh's Shahdol district, a police official said on Sunday.
Two persons have been arrested in connection with the incident which took place on the intervening night of Saturday-Sunday in Badoli village under Beohari police station limits, 90 km from the district headquarters, Superintendent of Police Kumar Prateek told PTI.
ASI Mahendra Bagri, posted at the Beohari police station, was going along with two colleagues to arrest a person in some case.
On the way, they saw a sand-laden tractor-trolley coming towards their direction and tried to stop it, the official said.
Bagri and the other policemen gave a signal to the driver to stop the tractor carrying the illegally mined sand. But he did not stop and the vehicle ran over the ASI, the police official said.
After the incident, the driver jumped from the tractor and ran away. The speeding vehicle went out of control, collided with a culvert and overturned, Prateek said.
Driver Raj Rawat and Ashutosh Singh, who was piloting the vehicle, were later arrested. The vehicle owner, Surendra Singh, is absconding, he said.
A case was registered against the accused on charges of murder and illegal sand mining under provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Mines Act, the official said.
Additional Director General of Police, Shahdol zone, DC Sagar told reporters that a reward of Rs 30,000 has been announced for anyone providing information that would help the police to arrest Surendra Singh.
'Piloting' in Shahdol is used to refer to moving ahead a vehicle while seeing the road is clear and no checking is being done by authorities.
In November last year, a local revenue department official was crushed to death by a tractor-trolley used for transporting illegally mined sand from the Son river in Gopalpur area of Shahdol district.
