Chief Minister of Karnataka B.S. Yeddyurappa has declared that he will not contest elections again if he fails to bring about development in the state in general and Bangalore in particualar in the next five years.
Speaking in the presence of party leaders L.K.Advani and Rajnath Singh and the Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states, Mr.Yeddyurappa listed the development works taken up by him in Karnataka.
He said he would take steps to appoint a special committee to monitor the implementation of Nanjadappa Committee's recommendations on removing regional imbalances.
The first Metro rail would commence operations from 2010 while the complete work on the first phase of Metro would be completed by 2012.
Massive investment would be made on upgrading the roads in Bangalore and other parts of the state.
Taking a righteous stand, he challenged the Opposition Congress and the Janata Dal (S) who have changed his government with failure on all fronts to come to a public debate on the achievements of the Government.
Party General Secretary H.N.Ananth Kumar further asserted that the Congress and the Janata Dal (S) had not contributed to the development of Bangalore's infrastructure.

Blasts in Delhi- the mode than the usual
News of blasts doesn't surprise us any more. 25 people died as 5 blasts rocked Delhi. 70 were injured in five serial blasts in a span of 45 minutes when terrorists targeted three crowded market areas in the heart of the Capital on Saturday evening.
The blasts rocked Connaught Place, about a km. from Parliament, Ghaffer market in Karol Bagh in Central Delhi and the M.Block market in posh Greater Kailash in South Delhi. Soon after the blasts the Indian Mujahideen- the breakaway faction of the banned militant outfit Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) claimed responsibility.
Prelimnary examination of the blast sites stressed that low intensity ammonium nitrate tied to integrated circuits had caused the blast.
The first blast took place at Ghaffer Market- a popular shopping centre in Karol Bagh selling a wide range of Chinese consumer goods.
Immediately after that two explosions took place at Connaught Place in the heart of Delhi. Then another explosion rocked A-Block market in Greater Kailash-I. The impact of the blast in Karol Bagh was such that an auto was thrown up and it got entangled in the overhead electricity cables.
As usual the political big wigs of the country issued customary sympathetic statements after the incident.
President Pratibha Patil led the country in condemning the blasts terming them a 'mindless act of violence ' and appealed to the people to maintain peace.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also strongly condemned the blasts.

Film Review
The storyline of 'Mamma Mia' traces a young girl's uncertain steps towards maturity. A daughter who is all set to marry feels she is missing a very important person in her life- a father who will give her away on her big day.
So, she sends an invite to three of her mother's ex- partners with the hope of finding her real father.
Will she get to know her true father? How will her mother react when she meets her former beaus-of the ABBA era? Will she get her Greek fat wedding? All there questions will be answered in Mamma Mia.
The screenplay sets an era of a desirable fantasy world.
As far as the musical part of this film is concerned you just can't prevent your feet from tapping or hum along with Swedish band ABBA's evergreen songs like Mamma Mia, Money Money, Super Duper, I have a Dream etc.
The film is truly a entertainer for you and your friends.

Journey to the center of the earth
A fall 134 feet below the earth's crust. We are not referring to Spiderman's adventures but a scientific expedition led by scientist Trevor, his son Shaun and co-worker Anna. Their adventures as they hurtle down to a brand new world and accost exotic underworld species swearing never to do field work again.
FIreflies, electrically-charged birds, beautiful vista of nature unspoilt surround them. Vicious huge plants that are obstacles to their path, huge animals resembling dinosaurs and man-eating sharks are all bravely done away with by the threesome.
There is danger of them falling into burning lava but ingenuity provides an escape.
After narrowly escaping the clutches of death the three plan to publish their findings in Scientific- America. A Happy Ending!
