Begged for help but Smriti did not stop: Daughter of doctor killed in pile-up

March 7, 2016

New Delhi, Mar 7: Despite Smriti Irani's claims that she had helped the victims of a pile-up at Yamuna Expressway last week, the daughter of a doctor killed in the accident today contradicted the Union minister's version of the story.

smrithi"Smriti Irani's convoy rammed into our car. She came out. I begged her for help but she left," Dr Ramesh Nagar's daughter Sandili said.

Sandili's brother, Abhishek, also backed that allegation. "My sister literally pleaded with folded hands to Smriti Irani for help, but she did not stop," he said.

The statements by the two survivors of the tragedy contradict Irani's claims made through a series of tweets of helping the victims. "Tried to help the injured who were lying on the road for quiet sometime and ensured they reach a hospital. Pray for their safety," she had tweeted late on Saturday night.

"There was a pile up of vehicles due to an accident on the expressway. Unfortunately the police vehicle before mine & my car also crashed," she narrated the incident, assuring her well-wishers that she was unhurt.

"For all enquiring re my accident- I'm fine. Thank you for the concern and wishes," she said.

Irani, along with other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, was returning to New Delhi from a meeting of the party's youth wing in Uttar Pradesh's Vrindavan town near Mathura.

I fear the honest indians who vote such politicians to think before YOU give your valuable votes.. Almost most of the Sanghi leaders are openly Lying to the PUBLIC without hesitation and YOU expect them to SAVE U ... Its impossible..if they are involved in continues LIES then dont expect them to be saviour of your religion... NOTE this and dont fall trap to their Crocodile cry for religious sentiments... its only FEKU ... There is a evil agenda of Sangha to bring back DEVADASIS and SATI and rule over U.

Mangaluru, Jan 1: Led by two local MLAs belonging to Bharatiya Janata Party, dozens of people today forcibly stopped toll fee collection at Talapady toll gate on the outskirts of the city allowing vehicles plying between Karnataka and Kerala on the national highway 66 to travel without paying any fee for some time.

Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyasa Kamath and Mangaluru City North MLA Y Bharat Shetty, who led the workers, said that the Navayuga Udupi Tollway Pvt. Ltd. (NUTPL), the concessionaire of the about 90-km-long highway widening project between Talapady and Kundapura in Karnataka, had failed to complete the project since over a decade.

The service roads and two flyovers under the project remained uncompleted. Hence motorists were facing a hardship. Notwithstanding Nalin Kumar Kateel, Dakshina Kannada MP, arranging ₹56 crore loan to the NUTPL through Axis Bank to complete the prominent Pumpwell flyover in the city, the company had failed to complete it.

The MLAs said that they stopped the toll collection as a symbolic protest to bring pressure on the company to complete the project within this month.

The BJP workers who gathered near the toll gate around 7.30 a.m. forcibly removed the barricades and made the vehicles ply without paying the fee. The workers of the company managing the toll booth did not resist.

The BJP workers said that vehicles would ply without paying toll till about 6 p.m. If the company resumed the collection during the day on Wednesday, the party workers would again forcibly stop it on Thursday, they said.

Shivaprasad Rai, in-charge of toll collection of the company at Talapady, Hejmady and Sasthana on the same highway told The Hindu that the NUTPL collected about ₹7 lakh as toll fee daily at Talapady from over 12,000 vehicles. The loss on Wednesday could be about ₹4 lakh.

The project is being implemented under build, operate and transfer basis.
