In a recent speech in Ballari, Karnataka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strongly criticized the opposition Congress party for opposing the film 'The Kerala Story', which he said is based on a terror conspiracy. The Prime Minister alleged that the Congress party has succumbed to terrorism for the sake of its vote bank and has shielded terrorism in the past.

PM Modi stated that the film exposes the ugly truth of terrorism and the design of terrorists, and it is alarming to see that the Congress party is opposing such a film that exposes the reality of terrorism. He further added that in the atmosphere of terror, the industry, IT industry, agriculture, farming and the glorious culture of Karnataka will be destroyed if Congress is voted to power.

The Prime Minister's speech comes in the context of the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections, where the BJP is seeking to retain power in the state.

The Karnataka elections are crucial for both the BJP and the Congress party as the state is considered to be a gateway to the south. Political pundits believe the outcome of the elections in Karnataka will have a significant impact on the political landscape of the country, especially in the southern region.

Nagarkurnool (Telangana) (PTI): The search operation to locate the seven persons trapped inside the partially collapsed SLBC tunnel continued for the 25th day on Tuesday.

Personnel from the NDRF, SDRF, state-run miner Singareni Collieries, rat miners, and others intensified the search efforts using the necessary equipment, officials said.

The teams conducted search operations at the 'D1' and 'D2' points, which were identified as possible locations of human presence.

On Monday, cadaver dogs inspected the 'D1' and 'D2' spots.

Rescue personnel continued working to remove parts of the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), which were obstructing the search operation. The excavation process was accelerated with the help of personnel and an excavator, while de-watering efforts continued simultaneously.

The body of Gurpreet Singh, a TBM operator, was recovered on March 9 and handed over to his family in Punjab. Seven others remain trapped inside the tunnel.

A total of eight individuals—including engineers and labourers—were trapped in the SLBC project tunnel when a portion of it collapsed on February 22.
