Siddaramaiah brings up caste census whenever there is political crisis: Sunil Kumar
Bengaluru: BJP state general secretary V. Sunil Kumar criticised Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, alleging that the CM often brings up the issue of implementing the caste census whenever there is a political crisis. Kumar remarked that Siddaramaiah has made the caste census report a political tool to secure his position, using it as a strategy to claim injustices against the backward classes and lead them astray.
Terming Siddaramaiah, an habitual offender for his “attention-getting tactic”, Sunil Kumar accused Siddaramaiah of diverting attention whenever the government faces difficulties, like the ongoing MUDA issue. He asserted that Siddaramaiah has repeatedly promised to implement the caste census since assuming office but has not taken concrete steps in that direction.
"Is it enough to claim non-implementation due to several reasons without revealing them? Is it due to the fear of DCM DK Shivakumar or are there mistakes in the report?" Kumar questioned. He further urged the CM to clarify the government’s stance on the issue, instead of using it as a political distraction.
Kumar concluded by criticising the CM's approach, saying that he had previously changed the course of leaders like Ramakrishna Hegde, Deve Gowda, and S.M. Krishna. He further said that CM Siddaramaiah has merely engaged in "empty talk" regarding the caste census.

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.
