CM Ibrahim is part of Deve Gowda's conspiracy; should be sacked: Poojary

October 22, 2016

Mangaluru, Oct 22: Veteran Congress leader B Janardhana Poojary has smelt conspiracy in party's demagogue C M Ibrahim's unexpected against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramiah and demanded his removal from the post of deputy chairman of Karnataka Planning Board.

Speaking to media persons here on Saturday Mr Poojary, who has several times criticized the CM for various reasons in the past, took umbrage to reported views of Mr Ibrahim that the Congress government in the state headed by Siddaramaiah has not lived up to people's expectations.

The former union minister said that after openly criticizing Siddaramiah-led government and praising JD(S) leader H D Deve Gowda, Mr Ibrahim has no moral right to continue in the post of deputy chairman of Karnataka Planning Board.

“He should step down otherwise CM should sack him,” Mr Poojary said accusing Mr Ibrahim of being a part of a major conspiracy hatched by Mr Gowda against Congress government.

Both should be sacked.

I always criticize Mr. Poojary for his press meet. However this time I feel he is right, This CM Ibrahim is \Samaya Saadaka\" and most corrupt politician. His asset is only his tongue. We will not be surprised if he joins RSS tomorrow. He should be sacked from his post. I agree with Mr Poojary."

He can say what he wishes, not others...what a logic

Mangaluru’s public transport revolution: 100 new govt electric buses to end private ‘trip-cutting’

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

• Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

• State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

• Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
