‘Great leader’ ready with Rs 1,000 crore to become Karnataka CM, claims BJP MLA Yatnal
Davangere: In a startling revelation, BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal said on Sunday that a 'great leader' has set aside Rs 1,000 crore in an ambitious bid to become the chief minister of Karnataka.
Speaking to reporters, Yatnal refrained from disclosing the identity of this leader but insisted that they are aware of who it is. “A currency note counting machine was found at his house in the past. He is making towering claims about a big revolution in state politics in December,” he was quoted as saying by Deccan Herald.
The senior BJP legislator remarked that the Siddaramaiah-led government is short-lived and could collapse at any moment.
He acknowledged that there are many people in the BJP who have accumulated wealth through corrupt practices. “But the party leadership will not allow them to bring down the government,” Yatnal said, indirectly referring to party state president B.Y. Vijayendra, DH added. However, he stated that the high command has instructed them not to speak against Vijayendra in public.
Additionally, the Vijayapura City MLA asserted that the BJP leadership will protect its legislators from poaching attempts, whether through horse trading or other methods.
He stated that they are committed to safeguarding the party and indicated that they will wait until December before making any significant moves.

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.
