In 5 years Modi did nothing but changing names of old schemes: Deve Gowda

Shivamogga , Mar 17: Criticising the Modi-led government in the Centre, JD(S) Supremo and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda stated that the BJP-led government has only changed the names of old schemes and nothing else in the last five years.

BJP has added the term 'Pradhan Mantri' to all the schemes. "But I had not done it during my tenure as prime minister."

He was speaking at JD(S) elected representatives, leaders and workers meeting at Lagan convention hall in the city on Sunday.

Addressing the gathering, he claimed that he headed the 13 parties government in the Centre without paving the way for any communal clash.

It was purely coalition government unlike the present government in the Centre. But there was no clash between Muslims and Hindus and terror attacks. "I don't make personal attacks. But I am just sharing the facts with you."

Referring to the Godhra train burning incident in Gujarat, he said ''that many Muslims were killed, Churches and bible were burnt. But I don't make any provocative statement. I had toured Gujarat for three days in 2002. I had asked SP and deputy commissioner why they did not stop the violence. They had told that there was no instructions from higher-ups. Do we need such governance again in the country?''

Recalling the past, he said he had maintained a good rapport with neighbouring countries during his tenure as prime minister. He was the first prime minister to visit violence-hit Kashmir after a gap of ten years.

The officials of defence forces cautioned that there could be a threat to his life if he visited Kashmir. However, I had visited the valley state and had interacted with the people.

They shared that tourism must be promoted as it has been the source of livelihood for them.

Gowda also promised that he would strive for the victory of Madhu Bangarpapa in the Lok Sabha election to Shivamogga constituency as he is doing it for his grandsons in Hassan and Mandya.

Speaking to media persons, here on Sunday, he said "Madhu is like my son. So I would leave no stone unturned for his victory."

He said major leaders of Congress party including DK Shivakumar would campaign in favour of Madhu in the constituency.

Referring to confusion over Uttara Kannada Lok Sabha constituency, he said senior Congress leader R V Deshpande has spoken to him. But nothing has been finalised yet.

She is one of a few beauty queens who give equal importance to both modelling and academic growth. Within months after completing her MBA in Finance and HR, Shifali Saldanha won Miss India Continent 2019 first runner-up and Miss Glory of International 2019 held in Mumbai.

An alumna of St Aloysius College (AIMIT), this 23-year-old Mangalurean is now a much sought after budding model. “I am enjoying the moment and would like to go with the flow,” says the much-loved daughter of Stephen Saldanha and late Anupama Saldanha.

Over the course of past two years, Ms Saldanha has experienced various nerve-wracking moments. She was shattered when her beloved mother lost battle with cancer and bid adieu to the world a couple of years ago. Yet, she serenely braved all the challenges. Her ‘never give up’ attitude helped her to scale new heights amidst misfortunes and pains.

Speaking to coastaldigest.com about her success in Miss India Continent 2019, which was organised by Dr Mahesh Yadav of Aman Gandhi Film Productions, Ms Saldanha said 15 contestants from different parts of the country were shortlisted for the finale, which had five diverse rounds. 

“The meet and greet session was my favourite phase in the competition as it was an opportunity to interact with the participants from different parts of the country,” recalls the multi-talented, who dreams big. 

The leggy lass’ success wasn’t accidental one. A trained singer and multilingual anchor, Ms Saldanha was already a known figure in coastal Karnataka. She had won the titles Miss Karnataka International- Multimedia 2018, and Miss Beautiful Eyes Mangaluru 2018.

Being a moderate feminist, who carries a go-getter attitude, Ms Saldanha calls upon every woman to be optimistic, challenging and goal-focused.
