Udupi, March 25: Higher Education Minister V.S. Acharya said on Thursday that Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa would complete his five-year term and there was no question of any replacement.

He told presspersons here that the reports that his (Dr. Acharya's) name was in the list of likely replacements in case Mr. Yeddyurappa stepped down, were irrelevant.

The State had seen a lot of progress after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power.

The Union Planning Commission, which had reviewed the progress of the State, was all praise for it. The commission had approved a Rs. 38,070-crore annual plan for the State for 2011-12. The progress achieved by Karnataka could be a model for other States, he said.

The higher education sector in the State had made rapid strides.

Many degree and engineering colleges had been opened in the State. Priority was being given to improvement of quality in the sector, Dr. Acharya said.

Udupi: Six junior artists from the prequel of Kannada blockbuster film ‘Kantara’ were injured, when the bus they were travelling in overturned in the district, police said on Monday.

According to police, the accident occurred near Jadkal on Sunday night when the mini-bus carrying the crew of the film overturned.

“The incident happened while they were returning to Kollur after completing the shoot at Mudoor in Jadkal. The mini-bus was carrying 20 junior artistes when it met with the accident,” a police officer said.

The injured were rushed to hospitals in Jadkal and Kundapur for treatment, they said.

The Kollur police are investigating the matter.

"The news making rounds is completely false. The Kantara: Chapter 1 team began shooting at 06:00 AM today, and everything is proceeding as normal. A minor accident occurred 20 kilometres away from the shooting location, involving a local bus carrying some members of the Kantara team. However, no injuries were reported," a source close to the production said.
