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.

40 Palestinians killed in Gaza as Netanyahu, Trump meet over ceasefire
Deir al-Balah (Gaza Strip), Jul 9 (AP): At least 40 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, hospital officials said Wednesday, as international mediators raced to complete a ceasefire deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a second meeting in two days with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday evening. Trump has been pushing for a ceasefire that might lead to an end to the 21-month war in Gaza. Israel and Hamas are considering a new US-backed ceasefire proposal that would pause the war, free Israeli hostages and send much-needed aid into Gaza.
Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis said the dead included included 17 women and 10 children. It said one strike killed 10 people from the same family, including three children.
The Israeli military did not comment on specific strikes, but said it had struck more than 100 targets across Gaza over the past day, including Hamas members, booby-trapped structures, weapons storage facilities, missile launchers and tunnels. Israel accuses Hamas of hiding weapons and fighters among civilians.
