BJP ready to stoop to any level for Vote Bank – Minister Rai
Mangaluru: “The Congress government has fulfilled 95% of the promises mentioned in the election manifesto. The Congress government led by CM Siddaramaiah has worked efficiently with transparency which the opposition cannot digest. The BJP has no agenda to go to the people, now they are involved in creating communal unrest in the district and waiting for an opportunity. The BJP is ready to stoop to any level for vote Bank”, said the District minister in-charge Ramanath Rai in a press meet held at the DCC office, Mallikatta here on October 9.
Addressing the mediapersons Minister Ramanath Rai said, “Prakash Javadekar has instructed the BJP workers to look for potholes on the roads in every constituency and protest. In the state, the most of the main roads are intact and the National Highways are in a very pathetic condition. Let the Central government instruct the NHAI to repair the roads. Even the Shiradi Ghat road work is not yet completed. The number one MP Nalin Kumar had visited the Lady Goschen hospital for the first time. All know that under the leadership of Veerappa Moily the MRPL sanctioned funds to construct the Lady Goschen Hospital which MP Nalin is not aware. Whatever Congress is doing, the BJP is taking all the credit and saying that it is their project.”
Ramanath Rai further said, “MP Nalin says that from the past 4 years the Ganja Mafia is rampant in the state. But as I know even when the BJP government was in Power in Karnataka Ganja was available. Why couldn’t the BJP curb it then. Instead of blaming the congress government the opposition should forget the party differences and work together to curb the drug menace.”
Ramanath Rai also said, “We have started to give license to extract sand. Even in non CRZ zone the government has made a policy for extracting sand. Henceforth the problems of sand availability in the district will be solved.”
When asked about the visit of Amit Shah to Mangaluru, Rai said, “The BJP thought that Dakshina Kannada is the strong hold of BJP but now they have lost hope because people of Dakshina Kannada are aware of the games the BJP has been playing. They invited Amit Shah to Mangaluru. For vote bank BJP can stoop to any level. To create communal unrest BJP will do anything, I feel sad when innocents are killed. BJP leaders means radicals those who are involved in more crimes are the leaders in Bajrang Dal”
When asked about Muthalik’s statement, ‘Hindus should not do any trade with Muslims’, Ramanath Rais said, “Who is Muthalik to tell us, we have not give any contract to Muthalik’.
Mayor Kavitha Sanil, Mithun Rai, Ibrahim Kodijal, Sashidhar Hegde and others were also present.
