Water Resources Minister P. Anil Kumar Yadav has asserted that the Annamayya project breached due to a flash flood which its gates could not withstand.
Referring to a statement by Union Minister for Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on the damage to the project, Mr. Kumar pointed out that he (Mr. Shekhawat) should not forget that at least 150 people died in a similar incident in Uttarakhand when a dam burst in February this year, but the facts were suppressed.
Cardiologist and MP-elect from Bengaluru Rural C.N. Manjunath, who contested from the BJP and defeated three-time Congress MP D.K. Suresh, said he was the “people’s candidate” and that it is their aspiration to see him in the Union Cabinet. In an interview with The Hindu, he claimed his victory was possible because those who were treated at the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research became his “ambassadors”.
