Davangere: Former BJP MLA, RSS leader joins Congress
Davangere: Former BJP MLA and RSS leader, T Gurusiddana Gowda, has made a significant political shift by joining the Congress in Davangere. The move comes amid growing dissent within the BJP, particularly regarding ticket allocation for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in the region.
Gowda, who previously served as MLA for Jagaluru Assembly Constituency, expressed dissatisfaction with the BJP's decision-making process, particularly regarding ticket distribution. Despite advocating for his son, Dr. Ravikumar, to receive a BJP ticket for the Lok Sabha elections, his demands were not met, leading to his disillusionment with the party.
“MP Siddeshwar is acting like a dictator. Yeddyurappa is not out of KJP mood. I am fed up with their behavior. Therefore, I have left BJP and joined Congress,” said Gurusiddana Gowda.
Gowda's decision to join the Congress was facilitated by Minister S.S. Mallikarjuna, marking a notable shift in his political allegiance. With his defection there can be significant development in Davangere's political landscape ahead of the upcoming elections.

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.
