Smriti Irani a low-level actress; deserves jail, not HRD ministry: Mysuru professor

January 29, 2016

Mysuru, Jan 29: A professor at the University of Mysore has called Union Human Resources Development Minister Smriti Irani a “low-level actor” who did not deserve to be the HRD minister.

smritiDelivering a talk during ‘Vycharika Kidi’, a programme to commemorate the death of PhD scholar V Rohith, and a session on ‘Condition of dalit, backward, minority students in universities’ organised by Dalit Vidyarthi Okkutta here on Thursday, journalism professor B?P?Mahesh Chandra Guru said, “If Modi has guts, let him remove Smriti Irani and Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya from his Cabinet. Irani, Dattatreya and Hyderabad Central University Vice-Chancellor P?Appa Rao should be put behind the bars.”

Describing the NDA?government as the “National Destruction Alliance”, Guru said Modi was making the country weak and trying to make Indians “slaves” of foreign nations by inviting them to invest in the country. “Modi became the PM because of our foolishness. We need a self-respecting PM,” he said.

He went on, “Being a VC, I?don’t want to loot money. I?don’t have any children to make money. Only the worst kind of looters can become VCs. Kuvempu developed the University of Mysore but ‘Kuvempu Bhajan Mandali’ is controlling it.”

At the same event, Professor K?S?Bhagawan called Rohith’s death a “premeditated murder”. “Rohith is among the few people who became popular at young age. Mahatma Gandhi liberated the country from the British, but Periyar liberated Indians from Brahmanism. To know more about Gandhi and his thoughts, one should read the book ‘What Mr Gandhi and Congress have done to untouchables,” he said.

He went on, “We need Bhima Rajya instead of Rama Rajya. Rama has not contributed anything towards the poor people or farmers. He donated gold coins to priests during his coronation. Rama also suspected his wife Sita’s conduct, twice. During his rule, there were no property rights for women. So, the nation needs leaders like Buddha, Basavanna and Ambedkar.”

Bengaluru, Jan 8: Accusing the BJP of running a "fake news factory" at full potential, former chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said according to reports only Rs 669 crore of additional flood relief funds are being released by the Centre for the state as opposed to the ruling party's claim of Rs 1,869.85 crore.

Reacting to his attack, the State BJP unit, without clarifying on the actuals of the amount being released, said it believed in speaking the truth and not spreading lies.

Siddaramaiah, leader of the opposition in the state assembly, tweeted: "Reports from State govt officials tells that only Rs 669 crore of addl funds (sic) are released in 2nd instalment as opposed to the claim of Rs 1870 Cr by @BJP4Karnataka leaders. At a time when manufacturing industries are closing, BJP's fake news factory is running at full potential!!"

Calling BJP leaders "devotees of the God of lies," he said in another tweet that Prime Minister Narendra Modi released an additional Rs 669.85 crore moved by Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa's plea, taking the total amount to Rs 1,869.85 crore. He said it was funny that they were attempting to depict the total relief amount as 1200+1869.85 equalling to Rs 3,069.85 crore.

Siddaramiahs tweet was in response to Karnataka BJPs tweet last night claiming that the High-Level Committee (HLC) Chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah has approved the release of Rs 1869.85 crore as central assistance to the state towards flood relief. This was in addition to Rs 1200 crore already released by the Centre in October 2019, the BJP unit had said.

On Monday, the HLC had approved additional central assistance to seven states affected by floods last year, from National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF), including Karnataka.

While a PIB release states that Rs 1869.85 crore was approved for Karnataka, according to sources in the state government the figure was inclusive of Rs 1,200 crore released in October. Earlier in the day, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa while expressing confidence that more funds will be released in later stages, maintained that Rs 1869 crore has been released in addition to Rs 1,200 crore earlier, and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"...funds will never be enough, they (central government) will release in stages, they have released such big amount- earlier Rs 1200 crore, now again Rs 1869 crore- I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for it," he told reporters here.

Revenue Minister R Ashoka said the state government will press for more funds in the days to come, and the state government will fulfil promises made to those hit by floods.

Karnataka faced two spells of unprecedented rains and floods last year, resulting in widespread damage to life and property, following which the state government had submitted a report to the centre claiming loss was to the tune of about Rs 38,000 crore.

Reacting to Siddaramaiah's attack of "fake news factory" against it, the state BJP tweeted "Ayyo @siddaramaiah Avare, We surrender to You as we are incapable of running Fake News Factory like You or @INCIndia.

We believe in speaking the Truth like Gandhiji, not spreading lies like Goebbels. Kannadigas still remember the "Lies Bhagya (a scheme)" you gave them as CM from 2013-18."
