State BJP Govt has Totally Failed in Handling Pandemic, Bengaluru Riots & Legislation’s that the government brought in form of Ordinances’- Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) Working President Saleem Ahmed, during a press meet held at DK Congress Office on Sunday, 13 Sept 2020, in Mangaluru. The BJP party MPs who strut around like TIGERS in the state, become purring CATS in Delhi, in front of Prime Minister Narendra Modi?
Mangaluru: Addressing the media persons during a press meet held at DK Congress Office, Mallikatta, Mangaluru on Sunday, 13 Sept 2020, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) Saleem Ahmed said, “The Congress legislature party (CLP) which will meeting on Wednesday in Bengaluru will formulate the party’s strategy to confront the BJP government in the short 8-day session of the state legislature starting on 21 September 2020. The Congress has identified issues starting from mismanagement of handling of the pandemic in the state, riots in Bengaluru, and legislations that the government brought in the form of ordinances”.
Saleem further said, “The Congress Party legislators have already submitted more than 1,300 questions to the government, and our party will thwart any move by the government to push through 28 bills that it has listed in the agenda without proper discussion. The forthcoming session will be stormy and serious, and will see Congress come out strongly against the government. We will stress and pressurize the BJP government for discussion on all the above issues as well. The government is yet to respond to a request from former CM Siddaramaiah to extend the session by 10 days, since the short session is a ploy to get concurrence of the legislature for the bills”.
“The Congress party will expose the government on the floor of the legislature by highlighting its failures on various fronts, including its knee-jerk reaction to the drugs issue going on in a large scale, and the government has no concrete plan to tackle this major issue, which is ruining the lives of youth, as well as adults miserably. There has been complete lack of co-ordination in dealing with the issue by the state ministers. The BJP government in the state has not yet responded to the Congress allegation of a Rs 2,000 crore scam in the purchase of Covid supplies. Our party will raise all burning issues like Covid and drugs menace during the upcoming Assembly session” added Saleem.
While concluding Saleem Ahmed said, “The government has also miserably failed to provide succour to the people of Karnataka, who were hit by the deluge last year, even as they continue to suffer due to the monsoon this year. The party MPs who strut around like TIGERS in the state, become purring CATS in Delhi, and do not have the wherewithal to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi for funds to handle the flood crisis. They have failed abjectly to highlight issues of Karnataka in Delhi”.
Several Congress Party leaders including MLA U T Khader, former MLC Ivan D’Souza, DK Congress President Harish Kumar, corporator Naveen D’souza, Congress Youth leader Mithun Rai, Manjunath Bhandary, were present at the press meet.
