Will Congress senior leader BK Hariprasad get KPCC chief post?
Dinesh Gundu Rao, MB Patil in race
Bengaluru, June 8: After the formation of the coalition government and new ministers took oath, several names of senior Congress leaders are floating for the KPCC chief position. Most importantly, the names of BK Hariprasad and Dinesh Gundu Rao have hit the headings.
After the humiliating defeat in the Assembly election, the Congress needs an efficient leadership to lead the party in the state. Already, many names are doing rounds for the post. MB Patil who was denied ministerial berth is also said to be in the race for the post. But sources in the party said that Patil had rejected the offer of the KPCC president’s post earlier.
Amidst this, some of the party leaders have informed the party high command that BK Hariprasad is the most suitable person for the post. “I am committed to the party decision. I am ready to take up any responsibility given to me”, Hariprasad said.
When asked, Hariprasad told Varthabharati that he would follow what the party directs him. Within a week, something will be known. If the party gave him the KPCC president’s post, he was ready to take up
the responsibility, he said.
Apart from Hariprasad, the name of Dinesh Gundu Rao is also doing round. The dust will be settled within a week, sources said.

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.
