Mangaluru, Mar 24: A day after the Congress high command formally announced him as the party candidate for Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha seat, Youth Congress leader Mithun Rai today said that his dream was to be the voice of the youth of the coastal district in the Indian parliament.

Speaking to media persons at the party office in the city, Mr Rai said that in spite of the presence of several reputed educational institutions in Dakshina Kannada, the youth of the district have been migrating to other places for the sake of jobs as the BJP, which has been representing the seat in the parliament for past 28 years, has miserable failed create jobs.

“Give me an opportunity. I will be the voice of the young men and women of this district. They need jobs. My priority will be to strive to create jobs for them,” said Mr Rai, hoping that the electorate will teach a lesson to BJP this time and bless Congress candidate.

He said that establishing communal amity and promoting unity among the followers of all the faiths including Hindus, Muslims and Christians is the need of the hour.

“This land has a rich history of communal harmony, tolerance and unity. Unfortunately, in recent years the image of the coastal district has been tarnished to communal skirmishes and hate speeches. This should come to an end,” he said.

Without taking the name of former union minister B Janardhana Poojary, who had recently threatened to rebel against Congress, Mr Rai said that he would launch the poll campaign after seeking blessings from all the senior leaders of the party. Mr Rai would file his nomination papers on Monday, March 25.

Mangaluru, Feb 8: A speeding car fell off the newly-inaugurated Pumpwell flyover in the city after jumping the median and ramming into an oncoming car today. 

At least four persons have suffered injuries in the mishap involving a Maruti Alto and a Renault Duster. The condition of two is said to be extremely critical. The other two have suffered minor injuries.

The accident took place when the driver of the speeding Alto which was heading towards Kasaragod from Udupi lost control over his vehicle.

Towards the end of the flyover, car rammed into the divider and then hit the ill-fated Renault Duster which was coming from the opposite direction. The Alto then fell off the bridge. 

The accident caused traffic jam on the highway for some time. The flyover was inaugurated a week ago, after a decade long wait.
