BJP’s ?‘charge sheet’ a bunch of lies; full of wrong statistics: Param

May 12, 2017

Bengaluru, Mar 12: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president G Parameshwara has described the ‘political charge-sheet’ released by the BJP as ‘a bunch of lies.’

The Karnataka BJP on Thursday released a 64-page booklet, which it termed a “charge sheet”?on “failures”?of the Congress led government during the past four years. The Siddaramaiah government completes four years in office on May 13.

Parameshwara said statistics in the booklet are incorrect and misleading. “The BJP is trying to misguide people with wrong statistics and facts. They should know that the BJP-ruled states such as Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh contribute more to the crime in the entire country than Karnataka,” he told reporters.

Karnataka's contribution to overall crimes in the country is just 4.7%. Whereas it is 9.3% in Maharashtra, 9.1% in Madhya Pradesh and 6.5% in Delhi. They (BJP) should have cross checked the statistics before printing them,” he said, quoting the National Crime Records Bureau statistics.

Parameshwara also rubbished the claims of the BJP that the state has been financially indisciplined.KPCC working president Dinesh Gundu Rao said none of ministers in the party government is tainted. Unlike the BJP government in the past, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has provided a corruption-free and stable government in the past four years.

The booklet released by the BJP shows that there is a lot of confusion in the saffron party; the booklet does not have the picture of the Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council K S Eshwarappa, he pointed out.

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.
