Let Cong leaders solve their problem: HDK
Bengaluru, June 8: “Though the dissident activity is not our problem, I have met MB Patil and discussed as it is the coalition government”, said Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy.
Speaking to reporters after meeting Patil at the latter’s house at Sadashivanagar here on Friday, Kumaraswamy said that Patil has expressed his feelings with him. He has tried to explain the present situation. But these developments are the internal aspects of the Congress party and he could not say anything more. He felt that it was his duty to make some efforts to solve the problem as the Congress is the partner of the coalition government. So, he visited his house, he said.
MB Patil has toiled hard for the Congress. It is common that he was disappointed for not getting the ministerial berth. Congress leaders have to find solution to this problem. With an intention of protecting the coalition government, he has met Patil, he said.
Patil is not in a position to decide anything on his own. Moreover, he is not alone. Some of the dissident MLAs were with him and he has to take a decision by taking all of them into confidence, he added.
Compromise efforts failed
Before HD Kumaraswamy’s visit to the house of MB Patil, some of the Congress leaders including Minister DK Shivakumar and others made a futile attempt to convince Patil. Lashing out at Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar, Ministers KJ George, RV Deshpande and DK Shivakumar, he said that he was needed for funding the election. But they did not consider him while sharing the power, he said.
“What’s my fault? Why am I denied minister post? Did I do any injustice to the Congress”, he asked.

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.
