Congress to get Energy portfolio?
Bengaluru, June 5: Though JDS earlier wanted to keep Energy portfolio with it, it has planned to give it to the Congress.
It is said that Deve Gowda has thought of giving the Energy portfolio to Congress leader DK Shivakumar who played a major role in the formation of the JDS-Congress coalition government, as the Congress leader’s anger might cause problem to the existence of the government.
But JDS senior MLA HD Revanna and his wife Bhavani Revanna have declined to give up the Energy portfolio. It is said that they have demanded Bengaluru Urban Development portfolio to him if the Congress wanted Energy portfolio. But former chief minister Siddaramaiah is lobbying to get Bengaluru Urban Development portfolio to his close aid KJ George.
It is said that both the parties might once again sit together to finalise the sharing of portfolios.

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.
