'Not given sufficient funds, Bengaluru has been neglected': DK Shivakumar
Shivakumar said that he would urge Prime Minister Modi to address the city's needs and take care of it as a national capital.
Addressing reporters here, Shivakumar said, "I will tell him what is required and to be given to Bengaluru... We have not been given sufficient funds. Bengaluru has been neglected. I would like to tell PM Modi that you have to take care of the city as a national capital... The MPs or MLAs of the BJP are only getting votes in the name of PM Modi or the party."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Bengaluru, Karnataka today, as part of his visit to the state.
The Prime Minister inaugurated the Yellow line from RV Road (Ragigudda) to Bommasandra of the Bangalore Metro Phase-2 project, having a route length of over 19 km with 16 stations worth around Rs 7,160 crore.
With the opening of this yellow line, the operational metro network in Bengaluru will increase to over 96 km, serving a large population in the region.
PM Modi also flagged off three Vande Bharat Express trains from Bengaluru. It includes trains from Bengaluru to Belagavi, Amritsar to Sri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra and Nagpur (Ajni) to Pune. These high-speed trains will significantly enhance regional connectivity, reduce travel time and provide a world-class travel experience to the passengers

PAC Slams NHAI, Seeks Comprehensive Audit Of Operations
New Delhi/Thiruvananthapuram: The Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has delivered a scathing critique of the National Highways Authority of India's (NHAI) functioning in Kerala, urging a comprehensive audit of its operations. PAC Chairman and Congress's Alappuzha MP said the decision has been made that a CAG audit has to be conducted in the wake of the detailed perusal that was done by the PAC. The recommendations were outlined in the PAC's latest report, tabled in Parliament. The committee called for broad-based consultations during the design phase of highway projects, involving Members of Parliament, other public representatives, and state-level experts. The report noted that the NHAI itself had admitted to a design flaw at Kooriyad in Malappuram district. The PAC has recommended strict action against officials responsible for such lapses. Further, the committee urged that companies found negligent should be blacklisted and barred from receiving future contracts. The PAC also flagged serious concerns over the awarding of subcontracts at substantially reduced amounts compared to the original tenders. Citing a striking example, the report revealed that the Kadambattukonam–Kazhakootam stretch of the National Highway was awarded for Rs 3,684 crore, but subcontracted for just Rs 795 crore. An overall review of Kerala's highway projects showed that, on average, subcontracts accounted for only 54 per cent of the original tender value. This sharp difference, the committee warned, could compromise quality and accountability. The PAC recommended that the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways conduct a detailed evaluation of subcontracting practices. It also stressed the need for the NHAI to have an internal mechanism for preparing and approving project designs, ensuring quality control from inception to execution. In a significant reform proposal, the PAC suggested creating a dedicated regulatory authority to determine toll rates. Such a body, it argued, would ensure greater transparency and fairness in toll collection, addressing public grievances over high or arbitrary charges. The report's findings are expected to intensify scrutiny of highway development in Kerala, where land acquisition challenges, design disputes, and quality concerns have often delayed projects. Incidentally, the NH-66 project has been under scrutiny since May this year, when stretches of the under-construction highway collapsed in three districts. Both state Public Works Minister P.A Mohammed Riyas and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan faced criticism, notably from Venugopal, who conducted an on-the-spot inspection when the under-construction highway collapsed. Venugopal then accused Vijayan of claiming credit for the project until its collapse and then avoiding a site visit despite being in Malappuram for two days at the time. In June, in an effort to control the political damage, Vijayan and Riyas rushed to Delhi and secured an assurance from Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari that the damaged stretches would be rebuilt and the entire project would be completed on time -- to be handed over as a "New Year gift" for Kerala. Now, with PAC asking for an immediate CAG audit, this is going to be one which will see the erstwhile political rivals taking on one another on the issue.

Constitution reduced to subservient document to establish Hindu Rashtra, says Mohan Gopal
The BJP government at the Centre has reduced the Constitution to a mere subservient administrative document to establish a Hindu Rashtra, observed constitutional expert and Supreme Court lawyer Mohan Gopal. He was delivering a lecture on 'Changing Media Priorities and Constitutional Rights', organised by the Ernakulam Press Club as part of the C.V. Pappachan Award ceremony held here on Tuesday (August 12). In BJP-ruled States, governance is being conducted based on the Vedas as the highest source of authority. The Constitution has been reduced to a mere administrative document. The situation is no different in Union Territories either. The supremacy of the Indian Constitution has been denied to nearly half of India's population. As a result, the country continues to drop down in the freedom of the press index by the day. The decline, which started with the BJP's ascent to power in 2014, has turned into a free fall since its second stint. Now, India is ranked 151st in the index of media freedom globally, Mr. Gopal said. Those who share social media posts criticising the government are being sent to jail. From a respectful democratic nation, India has been reduced to an autocracy. The Sweden-based University of Gothenburg, known for its pioneering study on democracy, has given the country the status of electoral autocracy. The proclivity to seek the highest norms governing India in the Vedas rather than in the Constitution is also visible in the some of the judgments of courts. The Supreme Court had hailed the Varna system as a beneficient system in a recent verdict. This is an alarming trend, he added. 'Concerted efforts are being made to deactivate Article 19(1) of the Constitution. With that, the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution, including the right to free speech, will be taken away. We have seen how fearless exponents of free speech, such as Gauri Lankesh, are even murdered,' Mr. Gopal said. Minister for Law and Industries P. Rajeeve inaugurated the award function. He gave away the award and cash prize to the winner, Siraj Kasim.

SC to hear plea seeking ban on convicted politicians from forming or heading parties
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it would hear on November 19, a long pending PIL filed in 2017 by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and lawyer, Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, raising the question whether a politician can be denied the constitutional right to head a political party or association on the basis of conviction and being disqualified to vote. Before fixing the plea to be heard on November 19, a bench of the top court, headed by Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi termed the issue as an "interesting question". The top court said, it would deliberate upon the question - should a constitutional court direct that irrespective of your right under Article 19, you (convicted politician) will not be entitled to form an association of political ideology only because you are not entitled to cast vote. The petitioner, Upadhyay, appearing in person, told the top court that a person disqualified from casting vote cannot distribute party tickets to the candidates. "This issue needs to be examined as it is a grey area. Several commissions, including the law commission, has emphasised on the need for not to allow the convicted to head a political party," Upadhyay added. After hearing these submissions, the top court called the issue "worth consideration" and clarified that it had "something in mind" but required a detailed hearing. Upadhyay in his petition, said a person who cannot vote or contest can create a political party, even from jail, and political parties govern the entire country. He sought a direction from the top court to ban convicted persons from forming political parties and becoming their office bearers for the period they are disqualified.
