No BJP or Modi wave in country, says Congress leader DK Shivakumar
Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 16: Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar on Tuesday said that there was no BJP or Modi wave in the country and asserted that the INDIA bloc will form government at the Centre.
Shivakumar, also the Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, was in the southern state to campaign for party candidates in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
He said that there was no wave in favour of the BJP or the prime minister and it was evident from the fact that the saffron party was not fielding around 100 of its sitting MPs across India in the coming polls.
Shivakumar also took potshots at the BJP's candidate from Thiruvananthapuram LS constituency, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, by questioning what contribution he had made to Kerala's development.
The Karnataka Deputy CM also said that Chandrasekhar was morally obligated to resign as a minister before contesting in the elections.
Chandrasekhar is Union Minister of State for Information Technology and Electronics.
Shivakumar expressed confidence that Shashi Tharoor, the sitting MP from Thiruvananthapuram, would win again from there.
The Karnataka Congress chief took part in the roadshows of Tharoor and KPCC chief K Sudhakaran in Thiruvananthapuram and Kannur, respectively.
The Lok Sabha elections will be held in Kerala on April 26 and the results will be declared on June 4.
ദൈവത്തിന്റെ സ്വന്തം നാടായ കേരളത്തിന് എന്റെ ഹൃദയ പൂർവമായ നമസ്കാരം 🙏

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.
