Was Surathkal toll merged with Hejamady toll as protesters jolted your car, Hariprasad asks Kateel
Mangaluru: Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council B K Hariprasad has mocked MP Nalin Kumar Kateel for the merger of the Surathkal toll with the Hejamady collection, asking Kateel if it was in revenge against the locals who had jolted his car during a recent protest.
Tweeting about the matter on Saturday, the MLC said that, while the residents of Coastal Karnataka have been fighting round the clock against the tollgate constructed illegally in Surathkal, Kateel, who is also the BJP state president, had been trying hard to retain the tollgate.
Hariprasad has asked Kateel, “Would you dare to disclose your desperate attempts in secrecy to retain the Surathkal tollgate?” also criticizing Kateel for lauding himself for the cancellation of toll collection in Surathkal, after which, the fare was merged with the Hejamady toll.
“Why do the BJP MP and MLAs in Coastal Karnataka support tollgates? What is your share in the toll collected?” Hariprasad asked, also calling the MP ‘shameless’ for having ‘betrayed’ the people and then praising himself.
The MLC opined that it was time to remove the MP from power, just as the tollgate in Surathkal was removed.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
