People ready with a befitting reply to BJP after 10 years of lost peace: Jayaprakash Hegde
Mudigere: Congress party’s Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha candidate hitting Jayaprakash Hegde lashing out at the BJP for its lack of development in the past 10 years, on Monday said “Public, who are facing difficulties due to the BJP administration, are ready to give a befitting reply to the Modi government.” He was speaking at the election campaign meeting organized in Banakal, Kasaba, Gonibeedu, Balur Hobli area of the taluk.
“People cannot be fooled into thinking that they are running a corruption-free administration. The country knows that his corruption was exposed by the Supreme Court due to the election bond scam,” he added.
Furthermore, he pointed out that when he was an MP of the constituency, the Kadur-Mangaluru road widening project had received the green signal, however even after 10 years of the BJP administration, it has not been widened.
Lambasting at Former MP Shobha Karandlaje, who is also the Union Minister of state for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Hegde said, “The problems of the farmers and the people including the problem of the coffee growers and the elimination of arecanut disease were not solved. They have increased the prices of all essential items including petrol and have made people unable to live peacefuly. The BJP is under the delusion that people will support them if they seek votes under PM Modi's name, without making any development and pro-people schemes.”
“Before the BJP came to power, they (BJP) had claimed that they would retrieve the black money and deposit 15 lakhs in every citizen's account. That black money still remains in circulation. The corruption of those who talk about corruption-free governance has been exposed by the Supreme Court over the electoral bond scam. No one is getting free gas under the Ujjwala scheme,” alleged Hegde.
He further highlighted that, “Likewise the state government’s 5 guarantees, the Indian National Congress Party has also announced 5 guarantees. This will further alleviate the suffering of the people. The people should support the Congress for that.”
Supporting Hegde's stance, MLA Nayana Motamma emphasized the positive impact of the state government's guarantees and Hegde's previous pro-people initiatives during his tenure as MP. She highlighted the dissatisfaction among the electorate with the BJP's governance and urged voters to support Hegde and the Congress party for meaningful change.
Former minister B.B. Ningaiah, former MLA M.P. Kumaraswamy, Bloc Congress President H.G. Surendra, K.Venkatesh, C.B.Shankar, C.K.Ibrahim and others were present during the meeting.

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.
