After N-E, it's Karnataka's turn now to finish off Congress: PM Narendra Modi

New Delhi, Mar 4: The BJP feels the victories in the north-east, especially in Tripura, will boost its chances in Karnataka and the mood was echoed by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah on Saturday.

Speeches of Modi and Shah during the victory celebrations at BJP headquarters here, as well as press interaction by the BJP chief, showed that they have no qualms in linking it to the upcoming polls in Karnataka. The BJP expects that it could dethrone Siddaramaiah-led Congress government riding on the latest victory and bury the setback it received in Gujarat polls. The Tripura victory would give more ammunition to the BJP to target the ruling Congress in Karnataka. In the coming days, Modi and Shah are expected to spend more time in the state.

While Modi said by June the Congress rule would be restricted to Puducherry, Shah too expressed confidence in a BJP victory in Karnataka. "I said in Puducherry earlier that the Congress is finished in North East. Now, it is the turn of Karnataka (to finish Congress in the state). I said in Punjab, the Congress chief minister does not listen to leaders in Delhi and vice versa," Modi told party workers.

The first to fire was Shah who said the "historic" results in Tripura was a signal to the Karnataka polls as well as the Lok Sabha elections. He also put Karnataka among those targets before he can say that his party has entered the golden era.

"We will definitely win Karnataka. We are confident. But, I will not say that we have entered the golden period of the party till we win Odisha, Kerala and West Bengal," Shah, who was received by a cheering crowd at the newly-built party headquarters, told a press conference in the afternoon.

Later in the evening, the salvo Shah told the crowd at the party office, "under the leadership of Narendra Modi, our 'digvijay rath' has now won the North-East and it will now enter Karnataka. The mandate is against the Congress and it has been thrown out from North-East."

Modi also focussed on Karnataka during his speech for some time as well as setting the tone for the cadres by repeatedly referred to violence against party workers in Karnataka and other states. He said the sacrifices of these workers who were murdered will not go in vain and public will vote BJP to power in Karnataka and elsewhere.

Since he has become the PM, his only job has been elections and nothing else. No work on the ground except for some slogans and destruction of middle class.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 1: Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday said that the resolution passed by the Kerala Assembly is against the "unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre".

"The resolution passed by Kerala Assembly is against the unconstitutional Act passed by the Centre. It has been noticed by the whole country," Vijayan said.

The Kerala Assembly had on Tuesday passed a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.

Before the resolution was passed against the Act, Vijayan in a special Assembly session targeted RSS and said that citizenship law is part of an agenda.

"The CAA is part of an agenda. Muslims are being considered as internal enemies by RSS, who is controlling the ruling dispensation at the Centre," he alleged.

The new law grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday while talking about women safety, the Chief Minister said, "Those women, who are traveling face many problems, particularly regarding accommodation. To address this, government will start accommodation facilities in all towns. This project will be implemented with the help of local bodies."

Reacting to the development in the Kerala Assembly, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that Assembly has insulted the Constitution and parliament by passing a resolution seeking withdrawal of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

"The Constitution has delineated clearly the roles of parliament and state legislatures. When people who have taken an oath of the constitution, destroy it, it is a most irresponsible act. Both the houses of parliament have passed CAA and if a state assembly tries to hijack the Act it is an insult not only of the constitution but the parliament as well," Naqvi told news agency.

Dear scape goat Naqvi, dont try to fool us.   I know you are a liar as you are int he company of liars.  MPs are taking oath to respect and safeguard indian constitution and not to disrespect it and go agaisnt the teachings of constitution.  What Central Govt has done is 100 perent agaisnt the constitution and every citizen has the right to oppose this.   You are definately go with the Govt as you are paid for it.   But dont force other too to follow you.  What Kerala Govt has done is according to will of people and Central Govtr should respect it.

Mar 5: The government on Thursday asserted that there is no shortage of raw ingredients or medicines in the country as it has taken various initiatives to tackle the challenge posed by the coronavirus outbreak.

All initiatives are also being taken to ensure that there is no impact of the disease in India, Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers D V Sadananda Gowda said.

"There is no shortage of any APIs in the country. We have sufficient APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) and medicines in the country," he said.

Gowda was addressing the 5th international exhibition and conference on the pharmaceutical and medical industry organised by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Gujarat government and industry chamber Ficci here.

For another three months there is no shortage for undertaking production in the pharma sector, he added.

"Our government has taken all initiatives to ensure that as far as our country is concerned the coronavirus should be stopped, and there is no hazard as far as this issue is concerned," Gowda reiterated.

Coronavirus is a challenge and "we should make all efforts that need to be taken..., " he added.

On Tuesday, India, the world's largest maker of generic drugs, restricted the export of common medicines such as paracetamol and 25 other pharmaceutical ingredients and drugs made from them, as it looks to prevent shortages amid concerns of the coronavirus outbreak turning into a pandemic.

Besides over-the-counter painkiller and fever reducer paracetamol, drugs restricted for exports included common antibiotics metronidazole, and those used to treat bacterial and other infections as well as Vitamin B1 and B12 ingredients.

A notification by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) had said the export of 26 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and formulations would require licence.
