Holalkere, Jan 10: BJP President Amit Shah on Wednesday hit out at Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah claiming that his government in the state is anti- Hindu. "This govt of Karnataka is doing vote bank politics, it is an anti-Hindu govt. They have withdrawn all cases against SDPI, which is an anti-India organisation," Amit Shah said while addressing the 'Parivartana Yatra' in Chitradurga in Karnataka.

Keeping up his attack on the Congress government, he said that he had come to the state to bust the myth which the CM had created that the Centre has not done anything for Karnataka. "I have come to answer the CM's question on what has Centre done for Karnataka. In 13th Finance Commission under UPA, Rs 88,583 cr was allocated for Karnataka, under our government in 14th Finance Commission, Karnataka was given 2 lakh 19 thousand crore," he claimed.

However, he turned the table on the CM asking what did Siddaramaiah do for the state. "Where did all the money given by the Centre go? Did it reach your village? Look for a Congressman in your village, 5 years back what used to be a thatched house will now be a huge 4-storey house with an expensive car parked in front," he added.

Siddaramaiah had accused the BJP, Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), others of disturbing peace in the state. "BJP, RSS, Bajrang Dal have extremist elements. the government will not leave those who disturb peace. We will not tolerate it, doesn't matter if it is SDPI or Bajrang Dal, whichever organisation it is, we will not tolerate it," the Karnataka CM said.

Mangaluru | Covid safety norms flouted during new Gurupura bridge inauguration

coastaldigest.com news network

June 12,2020

Mangaluru, Jun 12: A huge crowd gathered for the grand opening of the newly built 175-metre-long two-lane bridge across Phalguni River on National Highway 169 near Gurupura on the outskirts of the city today.

Even as the photos of the bridge inauguration ceremony went viral on social media, netizens took the elected representatives and the district administration to task for flouting safety norms at a time when the coronavirus cases are continuing to mount in coastal Karnataka.

The bridge was completed in a record time of 15 months. Dakshina Kannada MP and State BJP President Nalin Kumar Kateel and district in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojari inaugurated the bridge in the presence of Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharath Shetty and others.

The bridge has come as a breather to thousands of travellers between Mangaluru-Moodbidri-Karkala on the busy NH. The age-old steel bridge had become dilapidated and was a cause for concern for road users. The highway is also under the process of getting widened to four lanes.

The bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 30 crore by contractor Sudhakar Shetty of Mugrodi Construction. Work started in February last and the contractor had time till February next.

While the two-lane carriageway is 16 metres wide, the bridge has 2.5-metre-wide pedestrian paths on both the sides. New approach roads of 500 metres each were also part of the project.
