Congress stages protest against Shobha Karandlaje
Bengaluru, October 20: Activists of the district Congress Committee staged a protest against BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje near the Gandhi statue at Mourya Circle in the city on Saturday, condemning her insulting statement on former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Addressing the protesters, party leader S. Manohar said that Shobha Karandlaje has been using low level language against the Congress leaders just to get publicity. Her statement against former chief minister Siddaramaiah who ensured hunger-free Karnataka, transparent, corruption-free administration in his five years tenure would show her mental condition. Every person in the state knew that Shobha was the ‘poisonous snake’ in the BJP. Shobha Karandlaje who uses unparliamentary words against other leaders should speak about snakes and scorpions within her party, he said.
Congress Campaigning Committee President Janardhan, Leaders Saleem, Hemaraju, Parisara Ramakrishna, Raju, Ravishekar, Anand, Aditya, Rachana, Asha, Vijaya and others were present.

11 more bodies retrieved from Arunachal accident site
Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
