Bantwal, May 2: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Prabhakar Bhat Kallada is confident that Bharatiya Janata Party candidates will defeat Congress in five or six constituencies of Dakshina Kannada districts.

The hardline Hindutva leader, who is for the first time formally campaigning for the BJP in the assembly polls, predicted in an interview that the poll results would prove pre-poll surveys wrong.

“There is an undercurrent of support for the BJP. I am sure the BJP will get a majority and form the government. In Dakshina Kannada district too BJP will win five to six constituencies for sure. I am confident of BJP victory in Bantwal, Puttur, Belthangady, Moodbidri and Sullia,” he said.

In 2013 Karnataka assembly polls, the BJP had managed to win only Sullia assembly constituency in Dakshina Kannada, and lost seven other seats to the Congress. However, this time the saffron party will take revenge against the Congress in most of the constituencies, according to Bhat.

November 30,2025

Mangaluru, Nov 30: A 22-year-old college student succumbed to her injuries at a private hospital in Mangaluru today, days after she was hit by a goods tempo while crossing a road in Padubidri.

The deceased has been identified as Preksha, a resident of Nadsalu Billitota in Padubidri. The fatal incident occurred as Preksha, who was returning home after completing her examination, attempted to cross the service road towards Mangaluru. She was struck by a goods tempo approaching from the Udupi side, causing her to fall and sustain a severe head injury.

Prompt action from local residents ensured she received immediate first aid before being rushed to a hospital in Mangaluru for specialised treatment. Despite medical efforts, she passed away while undergoing care.

Preksha was a student at Karavali College, Vamanjoor on the outskirts of Mangaluru city. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that she belonged to a financially vulnerable family, having previously lost her father. She is survived by her mother and brother.

A case related to the accident has been registered at the Padubidri police station, and an investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances that led to the collision. The incident highlights the growing concerns over road safety, particularly on busy service roads, and serves as a tragic reminder of the human cost of traffic accidents.
