MP Tejasvi Surya requested by netizens to spend more time in his own constituency too
Bengaluru: A recent social media post by MP Tejasvi Surya on his visit to the bridge across River Sabarmati has led many citizens to ask him to spend more time in his own constituency and see to its needs too.
Surya, who represents Bangalore South in the Parliament, on Thursday, lauded the works of the Gujarat government. Surya has said in his post, “Gujarat is emerging as a global tourism hub due to the efforts of the double-engine government of BJP.”
T V Mohandas Pai, an investment expert, responded to the post, requesting Surya, “Please spend more time in your constituency. We need better, cleaner and pothole-free roads, without debris,” also saying that the same ‘double-engine’ is in Karnataka too, but the engine does not work here.
Another citizen asked the MP to visit Bengaluru if he had time since the city is well-known now for potholes.
Against the backdrop of such posts by citizens, Congress has criticized Surya severely. Quoting the tweet by Pai, the party has said, “The MP was enjoying a dosa when his constituency was struggling against floodwater. He speaks now of the ‘double engine government’ of Gujarat instead of referring to the Karnataka government,” the Congress said.
Addressing the Prime Minister, the party said on its account, that a supporter of the BJP has unveiled the worth of the ‘trouble engine’ government and the BJP MP. “Don’t you pay attention to the words of your own people too?” the Congress has asked Narendra Modi.

Talk about Karnataka man. Talk about potholes in Bangalore. Double engine govt is pulling the train in opposite directions as far as Karnataka and Bangalore are concerned.

EAM Jaishankar meets Jamaican PM, gifts over 10 BHISHM Cubes
Kingston (PTI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday met Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness and discussed ways to further deepen "political, economic and people-to-people cooperation."
Jaishankar also conveyed greetings from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Holness.
"Pleased to call on Prime Minister @AndrewHolnessJM in Kingston. Conveyed the greetings of PM @narendramodi," Jaishankar posted on X.
"Discussed deepening our political, economic and people-to-people cooperation. Value his commitment towards further strengthening India-Jamaica relations," the post further read.
Also, the external affairs minister handed over 10 BHISHM (Bharat Health Initiative for Sahyog Hita & Maitri) Cubes as a gift to Jamaica.
"Formally handed over 10 BHISHM Cubes as a gift from India to Jamaica, in the presence of PM @AndrewHolnessJM, Health Minister @christufton and FM @kaminajsmith," Jaishankar posted on X.
"The BHISHM Cube mobile hospital system, designed for rapid deployment, will help Jamaica during disasters and emergencies. The gift of these cubes is a statement of friendship, a commitment to disaster preparedness, and an outcome of innovation," the post said.
Jaishankar arrived in Kingston on Saturday evening, marking the first leg of his nine-day tour of Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, aimed at further strengthening India's strategic and cultural ties with the Caribbean nations.
Earlier in the day, he interacted with the Indian diaspora and discussed India's ongoing transformation in infrastructure, human development and technology-driven governance and entrepreneurship with them.
He also highlighted the cricket bond between both countries as India gifted a scoreboard to Jamaica.
A scoreboard was dedicated at Sabina Park in Kingston. It is the home of the Jamaica cricket team and is the only Test cricket ground in the Caribbean island nation.
The minister expressed hope that the new scoreboard would witness many memorable innings, including those symbolising the enduring friendship between the two countries.
Cricket has long been a strong cultural bridge between India and Jamaica, which is part of the West Indies cricket team.
Jamaican players, including Chris Gayle, Courtney Walsh and Michael Holding, have played a major role in shaping the legacy of West Indies cricket in the international arena, contributing to its dominance in earlier decades and its continued global appeal.
