Byndoor: Speaking at a press conference at a private hotel in Hemmadi near Kundapur, KS Eshwarappa has declared that B. Y. Raghavendra's defeat in Shivamogga is certain.

Highlighting his commitment to Hindutva, Eshwarappa expressed confidence in winning the election with the support of the people, disgruntled BJP workers, and the Hindu society. He criticized Yediyurappa for prioritizing family politics over the party's ideology.

He dismissed rumors of his return to the BJP, stating that even if Brahma were to come, he would not change his decision. Eshwarappa concluded by reiterating his prediction of Raghavendra's defeat, stating, "100 percent Raghavendra will lose. Write this down."

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.
