Bengaluru, Aug 14: Bharatiya Janata Party supremo Amit Shah is trying to incite communal tension ahead of looming assembly polls and misusing Income Tax department to destabilise the Congress government in Karnataka, according to AICC spokesperson Dinesh Gundu Rao.

Speaking to media persons here, Rao said that Shah’s main agenda is polarisation of people on religious grounds by creating communal tension. Hence, Shah has been confidently saying that he knows how to win the Assembly elections in the state. But, Shah will not succeed in his game plan. The Congress will come back to power, he added.

The BJP chief has termed the state government as corrupt. But, he does not have moral right to talk about corruption. Many of the state BJP leaders are corrupt. The BJP is trying to defame the Congress government by misusing the I-T department. Besides, the saffron party is carrying out a misinformation campaign against the government using social media, he charged.

Rao also accused the BJP’s Vistaaraks of misleading people on the achievements of Union government led by Narendra Modi.

Vistaarks are distributing pamphlets to people, making false claims. The Modi government has failed on all fronts, he charged.

The BJP reacted immediately and termed Rao as frustrated. “In his address to the intellectuals, Shah has only highlighted the achievements of the BJP government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It was hard facts. To dub it as a lie is travesty of truth. Dinesh Gundu Rao’s rantings, however, will not alter or change the ground reality,” BJP spokesperson S Suresh Kumar said, adding that the Congress appears to have been rattled with Shah’s visit to Karnataka.

But rooting out congress will give birth to annoying characters like Kejriwal or Mamata.
So, it is better to create or leave some space for Congress. But congress is also on
self destructive mode. It is shedding it's nationalistic character by not supporting
economic issues of the govt. Though it will be in nation's interest who will help them.

The day BJP brought back leaders like Yedyurappa and others who left the party to
achieve their selfish desires, that day itself majority of the people have decided not to
vote for BJP again in Karnataka . Sitting beside such corrupt and casteist leaders
Shah must be day dreaming to root out Congress, but Karnataka will be BJP's nemisis
in the future polls. At the most BJP may get 35 seats in Karnataka.

Wake UP

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Lashing out at Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa-led government over the handling of coronavirus crisis, Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar on Thursday demanded Governor's rule in the state. He also took a dig at Health Minister B Sriramulu's "Only God can save us" remark.

"I heard the statement of Sriramulu and Sudhakar. They have said that they cannot manage this (coronavirus crisis) and they leave it to God who can save Karnataka. If such is the case, they could not solve the problems of the people of Karnataka. It is time now they must resign and let the Governor's rule come into force. The time has come for all of them to step down," Shivakumar said.

Taking to Twitter, Sriramulu said that the KPCC president misinterpreted his statement.

He said that Opposition allegations of negligence and incapability of the government and irresponsibility of ministers are "far from the truth".

The minister said that people should be made aware of the prevention of coronavirus as it plays a very important role in the prevention of infection.

"Here are the cautioning words, 'If you stumble, only God has to save us.' The government, our Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and ministers are working day and night. We are working for the people, to effectively face this century's challenge," he tweeted.

As many as 4,169 new COVID-19 cases and 104 deaths were reported in Karnataka on Thursday, taking the total number of cases to 51,422 cases including 19,729 recoveries and 1,032 deaths.

Bengaluru reported 2,344 new cases and 70 deaths in the last 24 hours, according to the state health department.

Hassan, Feb 2: Former prime minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda has said that the controversy over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act should be resolved peacefully through discussion.

Speaking to reporters in Halebeed on Saturday, Gowda said that the Act affects only Muslims but would also prove troublesome for the Hindus. “Opening fire on anti-CAA protesters is the not solution to the issue,” he said.

Deve Gowda said that during his tenure as prime minister a number of problems concerning Muslims were addressed. “But, in the run up to election, Rahul Gandhi described us ‘B’ team of BJP. This led to vote swing,” he added. When his comment was sought on the budget, the former prime minister said that he had not yet read the budget document.
