Belagavi: Union Minister and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje has raised allegations of a conspiracy within the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru constituency to prevent her from receiving a ticket in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Addressing reporters in Belagavi, she stated, "Opposition within the party is actually an advantage for me. When there is opposition, our leaders spread information about us. Otherwise they only used to say that Shoba is doing good work for the party."

Karandlaje further added that party leaders are providing information about why they are opposing her, which she believes will only help highlight her development works and true personality. She expressed confidence in the High Command's decision-making process and remains hopeful of receiving the ticket based on her track record of work.

"I have undertaken significant development work in my constituency and will seek votes based on these achievements," she said.

I have the satisfaction of doing both party work and government work honestly. Those who have worked will get a chance. This applies to all. In some cases it may be different due to the caste factor, Shoba said.

She further said that “I am an example that the high command recognizes our hard work.”

Responding to speculation that several sitting BJP MPs might not receive tickets for the Lok Sabha elections, Karandlaje stated that she had no specific information about this. She said that it is natural for many party workers to seek tickets, and those who have worked tirelessly for the party over the years have the right to do so.

Jaipur, Dec 24: Efforts to rescue a three-year-old girl who fell into a 150 feet deep borewell in Kotputli-Behror district of Rajasthan continued on Tuesday.

The girl, Chetna, fell into the borewell while playing in the agriculture farm of her father on Monday.

SHO Sarund Mohammad Imran said teams of NDRF and SDRF are trying to rescue the girl safely.

Senior Commandant of NDRF Yogesh Meena said, "After failing to safely pull out the girl from the borewell with a ring rod, efforts are being made to pull her out with another local equipment made of iron plate."

The girl's actions were captured on camera and an oxygen pipe was lowered into the borewell to supply oxygen.

Two weeks ago, a five-year-old child fell into a borewell in Dausa district. The rescue operation to rescue the child safely lasted for more than 55 hours. However, by the time he was pulled out, the child had lost the battle of life.
