BJP Worker Killed After Bike Rams Into Union Minister’s Car During Poll Campaign

Bengaluru: A BJP worker met with a fatal accident involving a Union minister’s car here on Monday.

Prakash was riding a bike when he reportedly crashed into the open door of a vehicle belonging to Union Minister of State for Agriculture Shobha Karandlaje near Ganesha Temple in KR Puram area.

According to PTI, Prakash was following the convoy of Karandlaje, who was on campaign trail for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

As soon as the door of her car was opened, Prakash crashed into it and fell down. He was flung on to the road and was crushed under the wheels of a bus coming from the opposite direction.

It was not known if it was Karandlaje or someone else who opened the door.

Karandlaje, who is contesting from Bengaluru North constituency, told newspersons that Prakash was run over by a bus.

“We all are pained. Prakash was our dedicated worker, who used to be with us round-the-clock. We are with his family. We will pay the compensation from our party fund,” Karandlaje said.
