Karnataka Congress plans to start its own media platform: Report
Bengaluru: In a strategic move to better communicate its policies and enhance its public image, the Karnataka Congress is reportedly planning to start its own media platform. This initiative may include the introduction of a dedicated newspaper to disseminate information about the party and its government.
The Karnataka Congress is preparing to start its own YouTube channel, with initial meetings already underway and a dedicated studio set up at their office, according to a report in Deccan Herald. Karnataka Congress working president G.C. Chandrashekhar told the news outlet that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is projecting that the Congress did not do anything for five decades. He accused the saffron party of distorting history. “Also, party decisions don’t reach the ground sometimes. For all these reasons, we want to start a YouTube channel,” he added. Chandrashekhar highlighted that this move is also aimed at improving the image of the Karnataka Congress.
There is a sentiment within the Grand Old Party that the mainstream media is not providing adequate support, and this dissatisfaction has prompted the party to consider establishing its own media platform, according to one leader, as reported by DH.
Chandrashekhar further revealed that the party plans to start a newspaper in the second phase of their media expansion, although it is not yet finalised. He noted that they are studying the approach of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, which apparently operates its own newspaper called Jago Bangla. Chandrashekhar pointed out that they are researching on how the TMC sustains the publication and whether it is well-received by people and party workers.

Arrested BMW driver was in a hurry to take birthday cake for his friend
2 women killed in Indore hit-and-run
Indore, Sep 16: A 28-year-old man arrested for allegedly crashing his BMW into two women on a scooter in Indore was driving in a hurry to take a birthday cake for his friend, police said on Monday.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Amarendra Singh said the police arrested Gajendra Pratap Singh Gurjar, an employee of a private company, for the accident in the Khajrana police station area around 11.30 pm on September 14.
Gurjar wanted to reach his friend's house at midnight with a cake to celebrate the latter's birthday, and was driving in a hurry in the wrong lane, he said.
The accused fled with the cake, leaving the badly damaged BMW behind.
Singh said the victims, Diksha Jadon (25) and Lakshmi Tomar (24), riding the scooter, were seriously injured in the collision with the BMW and died during treatment in the hospital.
A case has been registered against Gurjar under section 105 (culpable homicide) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), he said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Abhinay Vishwakarma said, "Initial interrogation of the accused revealed that he had bought the BMW car from a person in Chandigarh on an agreement."
He said that both the car and scooter were severely damaged, and the women were thrown off the two-wheeler due to the impact.
"The BMW was mangled so badly that it was no longer drivable. The accused parked the car and fled with the cake," Vishwakarma said.
Gurjar has been sent to jail under 14-day judicial custody on the orders of a local court, an official said.
