Belur criticises MP over Sigandur bridge inauguration row
Shivamogga: A day after the launch of India's second-longest cable-stayed bridge at Sagar in Shivamogga, Sagar MLA Belur Gopal Krishna criticised Shivamogga MP BY Raghavendra. He accused him of having a "fox mentality" and deliberately scheduling the event hastily to exclude state govt representatives. He urged CM Siddaramaiah to take disciplinary action against govt officials who attended the Sigandur bridge inauguration on Monday, despite the CM's instructions. The 2.44 km-long cable bridge, built at a cost of Rs 473 crore, was opened to traffic by the Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday amidst political rumblings over protocol lapse. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, the Congress MLA attacked Raghavendra, who is a MP and son of former CM BS Yeddiyurappa and brother of BY Vijayendra, state BJP chief. Velur noted that the BJP's late invitation to the CM, merely five days before the event, suggested a deliberate attempt to prevent the CM's attendance. He clarified that while Congress supports regional development, they questioned the breach of the CM's protocol, explaining their absence from the event. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo However, Raghavendra expressed his discontent with Congress functionaries. Speaking to reporters here, he said: "I must express my disappointment and frustration over the petty behaviour displayed by some politicians from our district. Their desperation was palpable." He noted that rising water levels would affect barge operations, and his request for an earlier inauguration was disregarded. He expressed satisfaction at ministers and MLAs visiting the bridge, but criticised attempts to diminish the event's importance. Employment opportunities Belur discussed the Sharavathi Pumped Storage Project, which aims to generate 2000 MW of electricity to address state power shortages. The project promises employment opportunities and compensation for affected families, with assured implementation, he said.

Stabbed youth succumbs to injury
Dharwad: Raghavendra Gaikwad, 28, from Kanthi Galli in Haveripet of Dharwad, who was stabbed by a youth, succumbed to injuries at KMC-RI in Hubballi on Monday late night.

Khwaja, who works as a mason had gone to Raghavendra's house to recover Rs 10,000 he had lent to Raghavendra's brother Mahantesh. Both Mahantesh and Khwaja were friends. Mahantesh was not at home when Khwaja visited his house and the latter spoke to Raghavendra. Following a verbal clash, Khwaja allegedly stabbed Raghavendra in the back and fled the scene leaving the knife stuck in Raghavendra's back. Raghavendra was rushed to KMC-RI in Hubballi for treatment. He was initially said to be out of danger but later succumbed to the injury, police said. Meanwhile, Dharwad suburban police arrested Khwaja on July 11 and were on the lookout for another person involved in the crime. Khwaja had told the police that he would take them to a place where his associate was hiding. He had led the police to a field on the outskirts of the city and allegedly tried escape by attacking police inspector Dayanand Shegunsi and SI Mustafa Bilgi. The police initially warned him and fired in the air to caution him. When Khwaja did not heed their warning, the police had shot in his leg. Khwaja was then admitted to the district hospital. Police are still looking for Khwaja's accomplice who is absconding.
