Davanagere: In a press interaction during his visit to Davanagere for MP Siddeshwar's birthday celebration, former minister KS Eshwarappa made bold predictions regarding the longevity of the current Congress government in Karnataka. Eshwarappa claimed that the government's days were numbered, comparing its fate to that of the Ajit Pawar episode in Maharashtra.
Expressing his concerns, Eshwarappa stated that the ruling government had attained power by deceiving its own party MLAs. Drawing parallels with the political turmoil witnessed in Maharashtra, he asserted that similar developments could be anticipated in Karnataka, resulting in the downfall of the current government. Eshwarappa confidently forecasted that the government would not survive beyond a mere three months, urging the public to keenly observe the unfolding events in the state.
Eshwarappa also said that the Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly will be appointed soon along with the party’s state president keeping in mind the upcoming Lok Sabha elections that will be held next year. With these remarks, it is evident the selection process for the Leader of Opposition and State President roles has faced delays, leading to speculations about the party's strategic planning for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

New Delhi (PTI): With a new, stringent system to establish user identity, the number of new user IDs being added daily on the IRCTC website has declined to about 5,000 from nearly one lakh, officials said on Saturday.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw noted that the crackdown by Indian Railways on train ticket booking through fake identities is yielding positive results, according to a press note.
Before the latest reforms, this number had touched nearly one lakh new user IDs per day, it said.
"Following the introduction of a stringent system to establish user identity and detect fake IDs, about 5,000 new user IDs are now being added daily on the IRCTC website," the note said.
The officials stated that these steps have already helped Indian Railways deactivate 3.03 crore fake accounts.
"Another 2.7 crore user IDs have either been temporarily suspended or identified for suspension based on the suspicious activities they are indulging in," they said.
The Union minister directed officials to ensure that the ticketing system is reformed to a level where all travellers are able to book tickets easily through a real and genuine user ID, the press note added.
Additionally, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has directed officials to provide local cuisine of the region in Vande Bharat trains.
Introducing local cuisine that reflects the culture and tastes of the regions being traversed will significantly enhance the passenger experience, officials said.
This facility will be expanded to all the trains progressively in future, they added.
