Second case of BJP MP heckled in Bengaluru in 2 days; video of voter questioning PC Mohan goes viral
Bengaluru: BJP candidate from Bangalore Central constituency for the Lok Sabha elections, PC Mohan, visited the Halasur Lake area on Monday morning to request the voters taking a walk there, but had to leave the place in haste, unable to answer a woman voter's questions on issues concerning the people.
This is the second case of heckling of MPs reported in the city in the last two days, with videos of both scenes being shared a lot on social platforms. On Sunday, Bangalore South MP Tejasvi Surya was incessantly questioned by investors demanding relief for the money they had lost in a scam of the Guru Raghavendra Sahakara Bank Limited during a campaign program organized in Basavanagudi and was forced to leave the event midway.
Less than 24 hours later, on Monday morning, a woman who found three-time MP from Bangalore Central PC Mohan in the Halasur Lake area, quizzed him about not visiting the constituency during extremely important situations. He had kept himself out of the people's contact during the COVID outbreak, she pointed out, alleging that Mohan was using issues that he had failed to handle as MP to campaign this year.
The MP, who struggled and reportedly also stuttered while attempting to reply, realized that the scene was being recorded and immediately left the place.
The video clip of the conversation between the lady voter and Mohan is going viral on social media. Netizens are taking a jibe at the MP, commenting that voters should not ask a candidate what he had done for his constituency, but instead ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as all credit for any work goes to the PM.

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.
