Biggest ever shock is waiting for liar Yeddyurappa: Siddaramaiah
Bagalkot, October 16: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that BJP state President BS Yeddyurappa was a liar and he has to face a biggest shock.
Responding to Yeddyurappa’s statement that the Congress has to face the shock, Siddaramaiah told reporters at Jamkhandi on Tuesday that “If Yeddyurappa opens his mouth, he speaks lie. He has been murmuring that the government will collapse. But the government is still safe”, he said.
No differences
There was no difference in Ballary Congress. After discussing the pros and cons, the Congress has fielded the candidate. All leaders would work hard to elect the party candidate, he clarified.
The Congress and JDS have made an alliance in the by-election. The Congress has not fielded its candidates in some places. In the same way, JDS has not fielded its candidates. The Congress-JDS coalition would win all the seats in the by-election, he said.

Railway minister announces launch of Kavach 5.0 for Mumbai's suburban trains
New Delhi (PTI): Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday announced the upcoming launch of the automatic train protection system Kavach 5.0 for Mumbai's suburban trains.
The railway ministry said the state-of-the-art safety and signalling system has been tailored for the suburban section in Mumbai.
"Kavach 5.0 is expected to significantly reduce the inter-train headway, enabling more trains to run safely and efficiently," it said.
Vaishnaw, along with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, interacted with reporters to highlight the transformative progress in railway infrastructure across the state.
According to the railway ministry, Vaishnaw emphasised that infrastructure development is the cornerstone for increasing suburban services and projects worth nearly Rs 17,000 crore, covering more than 300 kilometres of new lines, are currently underway at a rapid pace.
"These initiatives aim to decongest existing lines, improve service frequency and cater to the ever-growing demand of Mumbai's suburban commuters," the ministry said.
Announcing a major upgrade in passenger comfort, Vaishnaw said 238 new air-conditioned suburban rakes, uniquely designed keeping in mind the needs of Mumbai's commuters, would soon be introduced.
"A major announcement during the interaction was the doubling of the Gondia-Ballarshah railway line, a 240-km strategic corridor, with an investment of Rs 4,819 crore," the ministry said.
"This key project connects Vidarbha and Marathwada, easing congestion and enabling faster passenger and freight movement. It will also strengthen Maharashtra's rail links with Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, boosting regional trade and integration," it added.
This infrastructure push was announced on April 7, when the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved four projects of the railway ministry with a total cost of Rs 18,658 crore.
