BJP MLA Shivaraj Patil meets MB Patil
Bengaluru, June 10: Close on the heels of BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa’s statement that the party doors are open for the Congress-JDS dissident MLAs if they are willing to come, BJP Raichur urban MLA Shivaraj Patil called on disgruntled Congress MLA and former minister MB Patil at the latter’s house here on Sunday, creating curiosity for the further development.
On Sunday morning, Shivaraj Patil visited the house of MB Patil at Sadashiva Nagar, held discussions for some time and invited him to the BJP, sources said.
But Shivaraj Patil told media persons that they were good old friends and have good relationship. He has never met him after winning in the election. So, he met him today. But they have not discussed anything about politics. Their discussion was limited only to their personal relationship. When he was the Water Resource Minister, MB Patil has done good works in Raichur district. It was just a cordial visit and not a political visit. He has not met him to invite him to the BJP. Moreover, he does not have any relationship with the developments within the Congress, he said.
“I have not come here to convince anybody. I am not a senior leader to discuss the political issues. My party leaders will look into such issues. Our relationship is beyond our parties”, the BJP MLA said.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
