Reject Shobha Karandlaje like they did in Udupi-Chikkamagaluru seat: Siddaramaiah urges voters
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressed a women's convention and booth leaders meeting at Dasarahalli on Sunday, where he criticized BJP leader Shobha Karandlaje and urged voters in Bengaluru North Lok Sabha constituency to reject her candidacy.
Siddaramaiah claimed that Karandlaje was shunned by BJP workers and leaders in the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency, leading to her being given a ticket in Bangalore North. He called on responsible voters to replicate this rejection and send her "back" from Bengaluru North as well.
Praising the Congress candidate for the constituency, Prof Rajeev Gowda, Siddaramaiah described him as knowledgeable, concerned, and pro-people. He expressed confidence in Gowda's victory and urged voters to support him, emphasizing that Gowda's education and experience, including his tenure as vice-president of NITI Aayog, would enable him to address injustices effectively.
Siddaramaiah criticized Prime Minister Modi for what he perceived as empty promises, rising unemployment, inflation, and unfulfilled expectations of "ache din." He highlighted the Karnataka state government's efforts to improve the lives of its citizens through five guarantees, assuring continued support as long as the Congress remains in power.

He urged Kannadigas to demonstrate their self-esteem by defeating the BJP, which he claimed had consistently betrayed the state.
The meeting was attended by Bengaluru North Lok Sabha candidate Prof Rajeev Gowda and over 400 women booth leaders.

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.
