Mangaluru, Apr 23: C T Ravi, general secretary of the Karnataka state unit of unit of BJP has justified the party glorifying Prime Minister Narendra Modi during polls.

Responding to a question of media persons on senior RSS functionary Kalladkka Prabhakar Bhat decrying the BJP’s current strategy of seeking votes in the name of Modi, Mr Ravi said that his party never worshipped the PM.

He said that the BJP is not indulging in “vyakthi puje” (worshiping) but was only praising the “vyakthithva” of Mr. Modi.

The BJP is only projecting how the country has been recognised in the world; how it has been protected and how the country has progressed under the leadership of Mr. Modi, he said.

Mr Ravi said that BJP was hopeful of winning more than 23 of the 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka.

“The party is hopeful of winning more than 10 seats in the elections conducted in the State on April 18. In the other phase being held on April 23, the party is confident of winning at least 13 of the 14 constituencies,” he said.

Criticising the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) leaders for staging a protest against the search carried out by Income Tax officials in some parts of the State recently, Mr. Ravi said that those two parties did not protest against the Pulwama attack.

Mr. Ravi said that such protests by the Congress and the Janata Dal(S) made it clear that they had made prior preparation for funding their election activities. That is why they took to the streets to protest against the action by the Income Tax Department, he added.

Bengaluru, Jan 6: Chief minister BS Yediyurappa has plenty on his plate ahead of the 2020-21 state budget to be presented on March 5 what with the economic slowdown and a sizeable shortfall in revenue, but the biggest worry is the uncertainty surrounding Goods and Services Tax (GST) compensation from the Centre.

There is also uncertainty over the state’s share under devolution of funds as per the 14th Finance Commission recommendation.

Finance department officials say that while Rs 3,500 crore is expected as GST compensation for every two months, the devolution of funds would have yielded about Rs 7,000 crore for the current fiscal. But the economic slowdown appears to have hit the Centre’s finances and is likely to impact the state’s share of funds.

“The GST payment for August-September came only in December and we are unsure how much we will get for October-November and December-January,” an official said. Estimates suggest the state’s share under devolution of funds could be reduced by half.

At a meeting of finance department officials last week, Yediyurappa is said to have admitted that unlike those states where non-BJP parties are in power — they have threatened agitations and court cases — the government cannot go “against” Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s regime.

Instead, Yediyurappa has urged senior IAS finance department officials to lobby for funds with their counterparts in New Delhi. On his part, Yediyurappa is said to have already written to Modi and finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman to at least release the state’s share of GST compensation for the current calendar year of 2019. He is planning to personally meet the PM in Delhi to push the state’s case.
