No place for MB Patil in cabinet, supporters threaten of consuming poison
Bengaluru, June 6: Supporters of former minister and influential leader from Lingayat community MB Patil staged a protest for not inducting their leader into the cabinet of the JDS-Congress coalition government.
As some leaders of Congress and JDS were declined ministerial berths in the cabinet, their supporters staged protests. The supporters of Patil who have been to his house threatened of consuming poison if their leader was not given the ministerial berth.
When Krishna Byre Gowda visited the house of Patil, the agitating people even gheraoed Krishna Byre Gowda and expressed their resentment.
It is said that MB Patil has thought of resigning from the party for not considering him during the cabinet expansion. However, Patil is believed to be said that he would discuss it with former chief minister Siddaramaiah and take a decision.
This anger has even spread to other places as well. Followers of DC Thammanna also staged a protest in Maddur by blocking the Mysuru-Bengaluru highway for not considering him for the post.
JDS MLC Basavaraj Horatti also expressed his displeasure against not giving the ministerial berth despite becoming the MLC for the last record 38 years. “I am senior in the JDS. I don’t know why my name is not in the list of the JDS candidates. I have expected his name in the list of the candidates. I have the confidence on CM Kumaraswamy. I would pain me if committed and honest people won’t get recognition”, he said.
Followers of CS Shivalli also staged a protest near Kengal Gate and supporters of Ajay Singh also staged protest in their constituency.

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.
