Bengaluru: The ongoing verbal clash between the Congress and the BJP in Karnataka has escalated as BJP leader CT Ravi demanded an apology from the Karnataka Congress for allegedly making false accusations against him and other BJP leaders.
The dispute centers around the arrest of BJP activist Srikanth Pujari and the subsequent 'I'm also a Karsevak, Arrest Me Too' campaign launched by the saffron party.
The Karnataka Congress, via its official 'X' account, posted edited images of BJP leaders, including State President BY Vijayendra, holding posters with references to various alleged illegal activities. The Congress targeted the BJP's protest campaign, responding to the arrest of Pujari for his role in the 1992 violence in Hubballi following the Babri Masjid demolition.

Ravi accused the Congress of making baseless allegations and demanded an immediate apology, warning of legal action if the post is not deleted immediately.

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.
